lyrics

it’s been a hard time
keeping my heart from closing -
to not get lost in
all of the wounds i’ve frozen

but i tried it out:
not to shrink and own it
and i learned about
appearing like i could hit

iron veins to keep holding me over
until i can take the wheel
muster courage to enter each room
filled with something i can’t feel

(pull me out from under this skin
i don’t even feel with the mirror)

metal veins to be strong in composure
to be solid and not bend over

it’s been a rough time
dragging my chest with patience -
i try to lose it
drop it off at the station

but i tried it out:
not to shrink and own it
and i learned about
appearing like i could hit

iron veins to keep holding me over
until i can take the wheel
muster courage to enter each room
filled with something i can’t feel

(pull me out from under this skin
i don’t even feel with the mirror)

metal veins to be strong in composure
to be solid and not bend over
