You Can't Help Me Now

Any time you establish a world
of your own, you get thrown
Try and answer a bomb with a calm
undertone, alone
I wanted you to know that I put up a fight
But everything goes missing when they
dim the light
The catastrophic sinking
of the windless kite

And even you can't help me now
You can't help
You can't help me now
You can't help

Any time you establish a need to atone,
you're prone
Down the tracks you can map on the
seams of your own broken bones
I wanted you to know
I'm not here to indict
And everything you've seen
is like a second sight
We're inheriting the balance
of a poor birthright

And even you can't help me now
You can't help
You can't help me now
You can't help

You want to say that you were waiting
for this but you weren't ready yet
And those "If only's" only clothe the good
in front of you with regret

I wanted you to know that
it was understood
I know if you could come
around again you would
But baby, I can't see you
in this neighborhood

And even you can't help me now
You can't help
You can't help me now
You can't help
