The Arm

Breathe in deep
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out
To help you through
That's why the arm came for you
You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue
Of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass
In a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Now you'll see how it feels
To live like a bee
Always searching, for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry
Now you'll swim until it's deep
Until it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear
I could not hear
In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you wake up soon
Hopefully you do
I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Need you to even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you
You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try
You're mine, you're mine
Is that why I lied
If I tell the truth
You weren't breathing
Maybe I'll try
Girl I lie
