lyrics

Please wake up
Please wake up
Pinch your cheeks, get on your feet
We have a life to live

I can´t even keep a plant alive
So I stick wires in their stems
Forcing them to look revived
I don´t have time to water
I don’t have time to open windows let them breathe
Or call the doctor I watch them seethe

I watch them tumbling in slow motion
Leaves covering my window sill reminding me that I could still
Give them what they need
But I don’t

This songs about flowers
I don’t write about myself anymore

But I do have a new soul to break in
I have a new soul to break in
I have a new soul, a new soul to break in

I have a new soul to break in
Mold it to tailor to trespassers
I have a new soul to break in
I broke the last one

There was a marionette
Following your fingertips
You could lift them by their hair
Place them they´re complacent

Eat them up digest them
Through them up and rearrange them
Twist their head around
Hang them upside down

And they would still
Never even feel the urge to kill

I promised
To stop painting your picture I need to move on
But I´ve latched onto every word
You told me
Their roots are still burrowing deeper relentlessly
I believe you
I´m not enough on my own
But maybe I´ll be perfect if I´m part of something whole
So make me a part of you
Stick wires in my stems
I´ll follow your fingertips, I´ll follow you

I wish that this could be the end

While I have a new soul to break in
I have a new soul to break in
I have a new soul, a new soul to break in

I have a new soul to break in
Mold it to tailor to trespassers
I have a new soul to break in
Cause I broke the last one
