[Verse 1]
She's missing in action, you can read her like the times
Splitting hairs and giving airs, she's guilty of the crime
Don't underestimate the murder your eyes can commit
Killing me so tenderly when you won't just admit you're suffering
Gold rush and mercury indoctrination spoon
Some buy their way in mercy, some get taken out too soon
The rest of us run underneath like rain in the ravine
Flowing with bloodline and pollution trying to get clean

[Chorus]
Life and all its fragility
Leaving her imprints upon mе
A riddle I cannot begin to guess

[Post-Chorus]
Shе's not inventing the wheel
She's not the first to feel
Like she's the only one coming up against herself

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
She's the spitting image of her old man in a spiral
The more responsibility, the more you crave denial
The wind speaks like an orator, some message from the wild
Like the courage of a mother, letting go of her first child
[Chorus]
Life and all its fragility
Running at the center of living
A riddle I cannot begin to guess

[Post-Chorus]
She's not the crop or the cream, she's not about to seem
Like she's the only one coming up against herself
How long, how wide, and how deep? How bad could it be?
To blow it off and run away from yourself?

[Verse 3]
Waking up to a heavy cup, ambition drinking me
Helpless I watch another death, lay out on TV
I render it down to size and sound 'til it comes as no surprise
To sleep all through the night and still wish to open my eyes

[Outro]
Life and all her fragility
The midwife of this urgency
A moment I may never get again
A moment I may never get again
A moment I may never get again
