Climb me

Climb me to the canopy (climb me, climb me to the canopy)

Higher

Higher 'til there's nothing left of me (higher, higher 'til there's)

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

There's a shadow at the back door

Something's moving in the shade

She lights cigarettes like lanterns

For the darkness in my head

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Something hurts, something aches

Something bends until it breaks

It's only time that tortures you

Planting hearts in a grave

Pray they grow after it rains

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I'm one deep breath away from a breakdown

My nerves are wrecked and coming unwound

The world is hostile and I'm fragile and I need

Someone to kiss the cuts and tell me to keep trying

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Tear it down

Tear it down around my head

I need you

To bury this beneath my bed

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Oh, the path of least resistance

Foolish misinterpretation

Your heart is a nasty place

I'm afraid to say "no" to you

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

And on the other side is another life

A version of me with a spark in her eyes

That I don't have

And now she's laughing

And it's killing me that I cannot see

What's making her laugh from where I'm standing

And I have to know

So, I'm going in

I'm going in

Let's try this again

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Hold on, hold on to me tight

True love is taking turns lying, saying, "Everything, everything is gonna be all right"

True love is taking turns believing

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Out of the ocean

Over the harbour

Lay no sons and

Lay no daughters

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Still as a lake long after the wind is gone

In the face of a thief mashing ground to mud

Still as a street long after the work is done

As he gnashes his teeth, as he cuts it up

Cuts it up

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

The warmth against my ear

Echo heartbeats here

Crashing inside my head

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Is it me? Is it really just me?

Does everybody have it together or are we all pretending?

Is it me? Is it really just me?

Holding it together with one loose string

That I can't stop, I can't stop

I can't stop pulling

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

But if I made my bed

Did I make the demons in it?

Set 'em free from my head

Did I make the demons in it?

In it?

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I am not brave

I am not brave

I blind my eyes to what won't stay

You kissed my mouth

You pushed me out

And now I'm struggling to free myself

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I got too far from who I am

I thought it would be easier to change

How many times can someone start again?

How many more times will it take?

Will it take 

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

There's blood in the water

There's blood in the water

The quiet are restless

The silent are still

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I am a swinging bat

Tumbling dynamite

I am the beast at your back

You better run for your life

Your life
