lyrics

We gave freely of our arms
Those nights lying on the ground
I needed you
I have a face

Out here
I don’t want to lose my name
I don’t want to file my claws
I don’t want to have to look out for myself

I fought day and night for scraps
My cold nerves
Your soft hands
I needed you
I have a place

Out here
I don’t want to lose my name
I don’t want to file my claws
I don’t want to have to look out for myself

Roll over combed-over, play dead
to a mass of ears and stalking that were never meant
to be actually in need of anything
missed the days, missed the text, missed the story’s content

Dangle hope in front of me
And tease me with the picture you were painting
When I came in through the window to escape
For just a minute
When the traffic got unsafe
Or if the weather wasn't helping my condition
You would take me to the doctor
Set my bones and give me shelter
Just a quiet place to rest
Because I haven't got the nerve to fight
I haven't got the nerve
