the other things in my head Lyrics

There's a piece in my head

There are strings in my head

There's a voice in my head

It keeps me company

It never leaves, it never goes

There's a wall in my eyes

Where a window should be

It still lets in the light

Only through the cracks

And it's blocking parts of me

There's a song that plays

On and on and rearranges

The strings and the brass

And the bricks of my impasses

It pulls and grabs and

Coddles my past

It's yelling out of fear

So I know it's here

So I know it's here

There's a hole in my hand

Where my blood turns to sand

Time will pass through my grasp

But I'm not an hourglass

It'll never fill the gap

There's a song that goes

On and on and recomposes

The keys and melodies

And the parts that can't agree

It pulls and grabs and

Falls much too fast

It's fighting for its life

While I search for mine

While I search for mine

I'll never get the voices out

I'll never get the wall brought down

I'll never get the sand to stop

I'll never hear the music halt

I'll never get the voices out

I'll never get the wall brought down

I'll never get the sand to stop

I'll never hear the music halt

There's a song-like hum that

Catches on my breathing

It's soft and warm and

Leaves a tingling feeling

It pulls and grabs but

Never seems to latch

I love it like the spring

But it won't stay with me

Please stay with me
