basic space

neck

chest

waist to floor

easy to take

you could take me in fours

make me a deal

a day a piece

take it all

just stay a week

i'll take you in pieces

we can take it all apart

i've suffered shipwrecks right from the start

i've been underwater

breathing out and in

i think i'm losing where you end and i begin

basic space

open air

don't look away

when there's nothing there

i'm setting us in stone

piece by piece

before i'm alone

air tight

before we break

keep it in

keep us safe

it's a pool of boiling wax

i'm getting in

let it set

got to seal this in

can't adjust

can't relearn

got to keep what i have

preserve

basic space

open air

don't look away

when there's nothing there

hot wax has left me with a shine

wouldn't know if i'd been left behind

second skin

second skin

i can't let it out

i still let you in

i can't let it out

i still let you in
