lyrics

And you know that the wax will never wash from this fabric
I will never forget how it feels to be wrapped that way
Did I promise to call with an answer
To your question that wasn't really a question
There I was scanning the room for means of escape

I will try in your presence to not budge an inch without thinking
If I do come again I'll be sober and stick to my script
I'll be warm and upbeat yet somehow amusing and clever
So soft to the touch that I'll slip right through your hands

I am building a box that will safely submerge me in liquid
I am taking a fork and a knife to the jobsite today
I am eating my heart out and rolling the sinew on my tongue
I am chewing your words I don't want to be mean anymore

And lo and behold if the wax didn't wash from this fabric
The courses of torture have rendered the fibers clean
With new holes and new threads I'm wrapped again in my garment
I will never forget how it feels to be pinned that way

I have fashioned a mouthpiece from books left at my bedside
I am training my shadow to stay from under my feet
I am better than this but too full of pride to prove it
I am freshly embarrassed in front of you three
