lyrics

You can’t stay here.
But what if I could?
You can’t stay here.
Oh, what if I could?
No, you know you can’t stay here.
No, you can’t.

You can’t stay here.
But what if I could?
You can’t stay here.
Oh, what if I could?
No, you know you can’t stay here, now.
No, you can’t.

No ruin,
Your childhood is sleeping,
nor humor.
you’re stirring in your bed.
No ruin,
Your hands are the same hands,
nor humor.
your life in a dream.
No ruin,
What you lost in the filter,
nor humor.
Oh, no.

Home alone you think up an escape.
It’s a shame to see your soul erased.
They have told you that you’ve gone insane,
but it looks just like your face and
don’t you know?

You can’t stay here.
But what if I could?
You can’t stay here.
Oh, what if I could?
No, you know you can’t stay here now.
No, you can’t.

Your mirror,
Your mother is sleeping.
your tremors,
You can’t let them go now.
your vices
The snowfall is burning.
don’t ruin–
Wake up now!

[You are screaming to a crowd of people. Some of them do not have their heads on top of their bodies. They are saying nothing back to you. You are saying, “Here are my hands! I am ready to come back!” You are not a wound or a festival, you are neither and nothing in between, but it is a ribbon and not a noose today. They see it too. You are together, and you are wrapping presents. You are wrapping presents together.]

Your outlet,
You’re waking up just fine!
your bruises.
They’re going away.
Your mind is
The door is open!
not ruined.
It’s time to wake up!

Stay here.
