lyrics

Is there any machine I can rely on here?
For a touch just for a touch
Is there any sound my phone can hear?
Before the noise will come around

But the drum kit is all broken
the skin is all swollen
The flood beats like the old tambourine

I’m lying on my chest and it makes my throat all knotted
And it weighs on my chest
The fucking pigs outside, they’re still running after
Hidden behind a tree there’s something that wants to be found
But the bloody filth it won’t ever let it see

The weight on my body of all these thoughts
How could a touch be softer?
To be soft is it enough for me to soak it up and make it smaller?

The painful hole drilled in my belly
Of the fear of losing their attention
Sends me back to greasy pieces of mind
And some emotion I just can’t let go

And the way it pushes on my stomach
How could a touch be softer?
To be soft is it enough for me to soak it up and make it smaller?
