Pedestal ft. Vee Authari Lyrics

What are you doing out here?

It's cold, freezing, a thorny frost

What are you doing out here?

It's silent, so quiet, a monk's night

Let me ask you from the edge

Do you think heaven's down there in the river or in the air as you fall?

To that I freeze up, stock still like a snapshot

I fumble after, caught on the letters of my own words, and I'm scared

Let me pull my sleeve back and let your fingers run across my arms

Do you care, now that I'm marked with self-harm?

I smile after, a sickle that just doesn't cut to my eyes

You're sweet but all you care for is a dream

Have you ever seen me look in a mirror?

(I know that my presence is unwelcome)

Terror lying in wait (Like presents full of rocks)

Have you seen me in short sleeves?

(I know that to you, I try too hard, the persistence of dirty socks)

I'd just be pity-bait (I know that I don't know you know you)

Where hope doesn't even rate (And love becomes something to mock)

I cared then and now I care again

This time as deep as a friend

It would be nice to come down

From having to sit, regal with a crown

Let me rub your arms with a linger in my fingers

This? This is enough for now

Let me droop my eyes and sigh without a lie

This? This is nice

Let us share a cigarette

The one thing that kills mutually

While the river runs and the wind blows

And the sun, its crown peeking

To shine on

A fallen pedestal
