Fragile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you say medicine, I take your pseudonym
I know your accidents, you made them happen
Open flower, your darkest hour
Okinawa, your pain is power
Yesterday I was irrelevant
Now you're not sure if I'm so innocent
Block it out like clouds and the sun
I was forgotten but not forgiven
We're so fragile, we're so calm
We are innocent of what went wrong
Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs
Baby birds are weak and dumb
If you open up her letter
Will it make you feel better?
Bite all your fingernails off
When you hear her cancer cough
We're so fragile, we're so calm
We are innocent of what went wrong
Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs
Baby birds are weak and dumb
We're so fragile, we're so calm
We are innocent of what went wrong
Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs
Baby birds are weak and dumb.
