Shrapnel

They took apart our cradle

We stepped out onto thin air

I never dreamed it would take this long

To realize I'd been there

Me in the middle

I got myself from the water

Washed my wings of the oil

I couldn't breathe

I just balked for days

Wrapped in tin foil

Me in the middle

Oh brother I think I need you

You can stretch

You can protect

You're the only thing I can cling to

There's fire in the ktichen

They took apart our cradle

It threw us into a boil

I should have known you would see it coming

In time to recoil

Me in the middle
