pinch Lyrics

Mother to none like a bird

Throws their young to the floor

And they lie in the heat of a circling sun

I told you I don't feel alive

In this body of mine

Yet I feel and I cry and I smile and I lie

Mmm

And maybe if I pinch much harder

I'll get off into a better plane

And maybe if you look too long

You might just start to feel the same

If I just swallow my pride

Stop hiding, let go

Hold my tongue and my breath

Leave my bones aside

Then I'll take the apple and eat it

And leave all my peace in this world behind

I'll close my eyes

And maybe if I pinch much harder

I'll get off into a better plane

And maybe if you look too long

You might just start to feel the same

And maybe if I pinch much harder

I'll get off into a better plane

And maybe if you look too long

You might just start to feel the same

I'll send my body above to the stars

To the whispering cradling arms

Of forgotten gods

There they will hold me and eat me alive

And I'll writhe in an orbit of crystalline lies

From above
