scissors cut him from the page, example
continue to read not to retrace the steps, touch me
the hemorrhaging has ceased, has ceased
chorus:
and i swallow these capsules to regain my grip
and i swallowed myself sick and i inherited my health
hear is your wake and smile, that you seem to need
the safe and the touch, and the unweave
right where you placed it the night before
saint checks in to make sure
you're right where you say that you are
right where you say that you are
chorus
and i couldn't have seen all these pictures of me
but i needed to, but i needed to i
couldn't find a better way, couldn't find a better way to lie
chorus
