[Verse 1]
You cannot protect
That which you cannot control
I lit a candle for you
But somebody blew it out
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me that he's alright
That he's just been hiding out
Somewhere there is no light
Oh yeah
That'd be nice

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And if you took it back
I wouldn't feel so uncertain
I wouldn't feel so uncertain

[Chorus 1]
That when your body hit the earth
It opened up and swallowed you
She kept you safe in her hot center
And always tucked you in at night
When you woke up nervous
She said, "Baby, you're inside of me
You're safe inside my orange womb
There's no reason to worry"

[Verse 2]
They bought him magnets
To form into different shapes
Small spheres of metal
Always carefully composed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He's making hexagons
He's making perfect squares
He's making triangles
He's making cylinders

[Chorus 2]
And in the junkyard
A cult of robots screams
They give him orders
Like rabbits from his dreams
They're laying eggs now
And hatching fever spells
It heats him slowly
His blood is thinner now
[Outro]
Things slip sometimes
Things slip sometimes
Things slip sometimes
