My fingers are grasping

They're finding every thread

I think of your memory

And pull it from my head

I pull you out, then chew you up

Then spit you out instead

It isn't working

Forever present

My fingers are grasping

They're finding every thread

I think about the wounded

And pull us from my head

I pull us out, then chew us up

Then spit us out in stead

This isn't working

And now it's showing in my speech

And the way I do my hair

I try to wear a shield

But it's hidden in a glare

It's showing on my skin

And the color of my eyes

Ask me have I pulled today

I'll answer you with lies

Pulling out the anger

Pulling the abuse

I try to tie my hands but it just isn't any use

Oh, please

I'm pleading with myself

You've got to find a new release

Oh, you know

You've got to strengthen at the knees

Oh, you know

You've got to strengthen at the

Knees that hold your body

The body that we've built

Don't let that body crumble under all the shame and guilt

Create your own salvation
