Needles & Pinches

[Verse 1]
You came into peace
Little hearts and little feet
You lost your heartbeat
Listen close little seed

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
But I'm never forgetting the day they told me you'd got away
From it all

[Verse 2]
You latch like olive oil
Slip away, glide out
I must be rotting soil
Like digging clay in a drought

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
Everybody says you've got your health and then flinches
Cause every time I dream there's nothing but needles and pinches

[Chorus]
And I'm never forgetting the day they told me you'd got away
From it all
And I'm sad it would happen to us
I've found me that rock in my guts that proved me wrong

[Bridge]
Everybody says that life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
Everybody says you've got your health and then flinches
Cause every time I dream there's nothing but needles and pinches

And everybody says you've got your man so just hold him
But everybody knows my body cannot hold, it's breaking
And everybody says well if you cannot hold, you can't brace it
And then everybody says well everything I've said, just erase it - HA

[Chorus]
Cause I'm never forgetting the day they told me you'd got away
From it all
And I'm sad it would happen to us
Have found me that rock in my guts now
Now prove me wrong

[Outro]
And I am empty in head and in heart
Empty in belly and arms
Breath and tongue

And I'm never forgetting the day
They told me you got away too goddamn young
