Magnets, Pt. 2

you can not protect
that which you can not control
I lit a candle for you
but somebody blew it out

he comes to me in my dreams
and tells me that he's alright
that he's just been hiding out
somewhere there is no light

aw yeah

that'd be nice

and if you took it back
I wouldn't feel so uncertain
I wouldn't feel so uncertain

that when your body hit the earth
it opened up and swallowed you
she kept you safe in her heart's centre
and always tucked you in at night.

and when you woke up nervous
she said "baby you're inside of me
you're safe inside my orange womb
there's no reason to worry"

they bought him magnets
to form into different shapes
small spheres of metal
always carefully composed

he's making hexagons
he's making perfect squares
he's making triangles
he's making cylinders

and in the junkyard
above the robot screams
they gave him orders
I'd rather drown in dreams

Yeah laying eggs now
and how'd you keep a spouse
and he died slowly
his blood is thinning out

things slip sometimes
things slip some times
things slip sometimes
