Matchstick Legs

from Hello Sleep by Phoenix Mundy

/

lyrics

Oh my god say it ain't so
matchstick legs got nowhere to go
shuffling through the afterglow
matchstick legs got nowhere to go

Oh my god say it ain't so
matchstick legs got nowhere to go
shuffling through the afterglow
but china cheeks won't let you grow

so you move them and you break them
and you start again
on the pyre again
and you shake them cause you ain't them
and you ache but
you ignite again

and I won't tear you apart
and I won't tear you apart

When your paper seams become unglued
and the animal splinters out of you
and you curse the walls for their untruths
well you're lying to yourself
it's for you to choose

and you'll be alright
you'll be just fine

When the pressure clouds like cellophane
and you're tapped like a balloon into a place
where you pour yourself into a haze
put one foot forth and then again

and you'll be alright
you'll be just fine

another flower on a washed out window pane
another moment to be added to a picture frame
another scale sewn on to your patchwork back
