Frail Machine Lyrics

Hey, I'd like to welcome us back

I had your name scrawled on the wall

Somehow it didn't help at all

Hey, I wanted you on this track

Cause I'm so sick of my own voice

When I still don't sound like Daniel Johnston

I hear that voice that plagued me calmly

When I got up and escaped my body

And all I saw in this place was shapes

And colors where there should be faces

It's not my fault, this was not my fault

I will not go home to my self-serving thoughts

I'm glad you made it, I was so enticed

You've been waiting for this since the start of your life

I'm glad you made it, I was so enticed

You know, in this lighting you look just like

You

I can't stay here and stay awake

I feel so frail when I'm touched

Don't you?

This has to hurt, I have to feel

I want your half of us

Hey, I've been drawn on my skin

Cause I like the ones you used to do

But I'm not half as good as you

Hey, I'm only here to check in

Turns out that I still look like me

That's all the help I'll ever need

To leave this mind, I'll ditch this city

I will take all my discomfort with me

At least it's mine and no one else's

I can live between electric fences

It's not my fault, this was not my fault

I'm in love with these people, or whatever they're called

I wanna tolerate somebody

Who's symbolic of a breakdown

I wanna ask why bother

When you say that I can make it out

We don't have to get well

And I can act like it's not true

That I wanna be just like

You

I can't stay here and stay awake

I feel so frail when I'm touched

Don't you?

This has to hurt, I have to feel

I want your half of us

Wait, wait, wait wait wait, wait!

I can't stay here, I can't stay

I can't stay here, I can't, I can't

It'll be okay, it'll be alright (You have to love me)

It'll be okay, it'll be alright (You have to love me)

It'll be okay, it'll be alright (You have to love me)

It'll be okay, it'll be alright (You have to)
