My sputnik sweetheart

You let yourself lose control

And wanting to feel more

You can lie down like a skeleton

Bones in view



Lend some time to come in

My sputnik sweetheart sighs

I don’t want to meet your friends

Hold me do



Learn to eat like nothing’s left

Who is your influence

Losing sense of self and place

Asking who



If beds are known as place to rest

My rest is built on fear

When did you stop to ask if i

Wanted to



Many cuts from pointy doors

A room can get so small

Hardly pass and breathing’s gone



I keep seeing these decapitated crow’s heads

Lying around on the way home from my bus



Hard encounters breaking bones

If something is porcelain fragile

Your shirt surely breaks the fall

If someone’s (someone’s) fragile (made in) porcelain (porcelain) fashion (fashion)

Look around, watch yourself, is it what you want, look around, watch yourself, is this really what you want, your friend invented friendship

Shards cut, watch yourself, is this really happening, new friend, small rooms too shy to say hi to your imaginary friend

Too loud, watch yourself, hope it’s happening, hope it’s happening

Inferno, watch yourself, no one’s ever seen you as a friend



Not that you’d notice

Not that I’d want less

When you can bother

And when I can too

Let’s visit one another

And remember why we don’t do



Went along again and I can’t beat myself up enough over it

I can’t please myself so I resort to pleasing you

Now that my rib cage shows I’d love to rip it up for you

There lie my organs like a maze down to my heart

Should you find yourself within arms reach I’d close myself up again

You’d have my heart and I could never see you again



(If you’re crying, know there is reason to)

(If you want to come in, it’s okay to)

(If you want to sit this one out, you could come back)

(If a space is too big, a room can still get small)

(Remember that it isn’t always your fault)

(Remember that a poorly drawn person can still be loved)

(And if you hate yourself sometimes)

(Sputnik sweetheart you’re for one)



(If you’re alone and no one’s there to see it, does it count)

(Anyway alone's too vague and relative)

(If you need a reference to compare with, and no one is around)

(If you’re painted, does it count)

(If you feel so very vulnerable, and helpless in their arms)

(Then what’s the point, in sharing your flaws)
