Wake - Snakeskin

I wanna know what it’s like to care

I wanna know

That my heart is in the right place at all the right times

I wanna turn you inside out and in again

I wanna know just what you plan to do with me

Cuz' I’m sitting here feeling sorry

When I saw you

I was at my wake

It took a little time, oh time

To get to know each other right

When I said «hi» you looked kind of worried

But we took a little time, oh time

To make sure that our words seemed right

I heard the whispers through my walls

They just kept banging

And I wanted them to leave me the fuck alone

These silly voices say it all, they know me so well

There’s a numbness, that comes with the silence

The numbness without violence

When I said «hi» you looked kind of worried

But we took a little time, oh time

To get to know each other right

I see the trembling in your hands

It reminds me, of my insides and tuesday afternoons

I think you’re scared of hurting my feelings

And now I’m scared, to casually continue

Because nothing’s ever perfect

I’ll know that when I’m older

It seems you’re growing colder

And I’m just so confused

And maybe it’s my youth

And when you held me

I was halfway dead

I spent a little too much time

To circle in my mind, oh my

I hope that you don’t think I’m strange

When I say things that seem out of place

I thought that I would do alright

That my brain was fixed

And my lamp stopped glowing in the key of D

But here I am in this petty fight

With a part of me

That never wants to eat

That’s halfway dead at heaven’s feet

That makes me feel like I’m not clean

And makes me wanna be happy

And when I saw you

I was on my knees

And you took a little time, oh time

To make sure that I was alright

To make sure I’m alright
