In the middle of the night
I was sleeping sitting up
when a doctor came to tell me
Enough is enough

He brought me out into the hall
I could have sworn it was haunted
and told me something that
I didn't know that I wanted

To hear that there was nothing
that I could do to save you
the choir's gonna sing
and this thing is gonna kill you

Something in my throat
made my next words shake
And something in the wires
made the lightbulbs break

There was glass inside my feet
and raining down from the ceiling
It opened up the scars
that had just finished healing

It tore apart the canyon
running down your femur
I thought that it was beautiful
it made me a believer

And as it opened I could hear you
howling from your room
But I hid out in the hall
until the hurricane blew

When I reappeared and tried to give you
something for the pain
you came to hating me again
and just sang your refrain:

You had a new dream
it was more like a nightmare
You were just a little kid
and they cut your hair

Then they stuck you in machines
you came so close to dying
They should have listened
they thought that you were lying

Daddy was an asshole
he fucked you up
built the gears in your head
now he greases them up

And no one paid attention
when you just stopped eating
Eighty-seven pounds
and this all bears repeating

Tell me when you think
that we became so unhappy
wearing silver rings
with nobody clapping

When we moved here together
we were so dissappointed
sleeping out of tune
with our dreams disjointed

It killed me to see you
getting always rejected
But I didn't mind the things you threw
the phones I deflected

I didn't mind you blaming me
for your mistakes
I just held you in the doorframe
through all of the earthquakes

But you packed up your clothes
in that bag every night
and I would try to grab your ankles
what a pitiful sight

But after over a year
I stopped trying to stop you
from stomping out that door
coming back like you always do

Well no one's gonna fix it for us
no one can
You say that no one's gonna listen
and no one understands

So there's no open doors
and there's no way to get through
there's no other witnesses
just us two

There's two people living
in one small room
From your two half-families
tearing at you

Two ways to tell the story
no one worries
Two silver rings
on our fingers in a hurry

Two people talking
inside your brain
Two people believing
that I'm the one to blame

Two different voices
coming out of your mouth
while I'm too cold to care
and too sick to shout

You had a new dream
it was more like a nightmare
You were just a little kid
and they cut your hair

Then they stuck you in machines
you came so close to dying
They should have listened
they thought that you were lying

Daddy was an asshole
he fucked you up
built the gears in your head
now he greases them up

And no one paid attention
when you just stopped eating
Eighty-seven pounds
and this all bears repeating
