These quills will jolt and penetrate

Some pass while others can't relate

I stood hopelessly myself

You hate when it gets this close

And I know the blank look you put on

Like some concertino wire

In here I try to change my life

I hit the same wall every time

The night accelerates

When you need it most

I am a satellite and a holy ghost

The mind is a battlefield

But the heart is a surgeon

And I am between them

And I am uncertain

I try to know you but I'm too late

Some guy told you how you're no good

So now you're gonna prove him right

We're all trauma all the time

And I ought to charge you by the hour

For all the time I think on you

I caught you plotting my demise

I thought I ought to help you try

The night accelerates

When you need it most

I am a satellite to your holy ghost

The mind is the enemy

But the heart is an anchor

Why can't you find me

I've never been closer

[Instrumental]

What if the life you tried to live

Was diametrically opposed

To what everyone agrees

Is good enough for most

And I'm tired of always being right

And risking everything on you

You're never there when I get home

You watch then you turn me off

The night accelerates

When you need it most

And I am a color test in a field of ghosts

The mind is a battlefield

But the heart is a surgeon

And we are between them

And we are uncertain
