Pick Apart Lyrics

A looming disaster, a thorn in my health

Touching the plaster in grounding myself

I reach for the walls

The words in the stall bring me peace

Clutching a handful of beads in the hall

Stepping on dried maple leaves in the fall

A form of distraction

The stale satisfaction, it bleeds from a raw autumn nose

I feel a cool swaying breeze in the yard

I wish I could grab it to keep in a jar

And hold it for difficult days

To keep me from finding a way to pick apart

I pick apart

Let me know now if you need me to fight

This feeling is pulling me out of the light

I could gracefully fall

Or answer the call that I hear

She is a vessel of warmth and delight

A healthy way out of a horrible plight

And I'm crawling inside

I need to confide and release all that I have in store

Graceful, despondent, and picking apart

I feel a cool swaying breeze in the yard

I wish I could grab it to keep in a jar

And hold it for difficult days

To keep me from finding a way to pick apart

I pick apart

Graceful, despondent, and picking apart

Tumbling down just to rest in the dark

Releasing the breeze that I kept in a jar

It keeps me from finding a way

I feel a cool swaying breeze in the yard

I wish I could grab it to keep in a jar

The smell of the trees and the sound of the cars

The rustling leaves as they fall to the yard

I hold them for difficult days

To keep me from finding a way to pick apart

I pick apart
