lyrics

The quilted pillows of my home
Although it’s no longer my own
Can’t quite provide for what’s in store
But who could really ask for more?
 
Marionette there on the floor
I know I’ve seen her there before
Under what pretense did she come?
Underwear says she’s had her fun
 
But something does not ring true
It’s nothing personal, only you
The pieces fell they’re falling still
Collect them in your jar of will
Your platform’s huge, your thoughts are tied
To something in but not inside
The pieces fell they’re falling still
 
I was never ready for this world
But circumstances can’t be ruled
Revolving chambers empty out
Barreling through my dizzy mouth
I am ill as I am thin
I always will I’ve always been
 
The screws and levers in your head
Came out as all the words you said
Something just does not ring true
It’s nothing personal, only you
Your platform’s huge your thoughts are tied
To something in but not inside
The pieces fell they’re falling still
 
But something does not ring true
It’s nothing personal, only you
The pieces fell they’re falling still
Collect them in your jar of will
Your platform’s huge, your thoughts are tied
To something in but not inside
The pieces fell they’re falling still
Give credit where you will
