Keep It Near
I left my mouth to become yours
I left my mouth to become yours
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Feels like I'm not soft
Like I'm trying to be
Go ahead, call me
And leave me left out
Even my mother will tell you
I'm not good at affection
Don't know where I learned that
But I fear it in myself
And when it calls me
It feels like something I know
Vacuous, black, and old
So I keep it near
So I can feel something real
Like hell
But I do feel
I left my mouth to become yours
I left my mouth to become yours
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Every day falls apart
It's every day nothing
When my head feels heavy
And I'm falling asleep again
I don't know what to do
It feels like I say that a lot
But I really don't
Oh
It's been a while
And I'm in and out of existence
But I got sweet darkness
He lays in my lap every night
And I look in his eyes
I left my mouth to become yours
I left my mouth to become yours
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Call it off again
Falling in and out again
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
