Cadmium

I was walking with my neck out

In some ways I wish I was

I was walking with my neck out

In some ways that I wish that I was

Out on the bevel sound

It sounds like everything else

You'll know it when you hear it

'Cause you know the way my voice felt

Ignore my tone and everything

I sing, I sing for me

Ignore the phone on your bed

It rings, it rings, it rings

Shirt collar wringing me out

And my collarbone got all red

And already severing prose I wrote

So I'll sing instead

I hold you, put your neck out

Tell me the ways you wish you were

Keep your confidence sound

Your hook, my eye, my spur

So when I went to hang out

I hung behind your eyes

But my eyes still flicker with doubt

Quickly, oh, I can't decide

I'm tapped out

Don't it always seem to go that

You could hold it right in your hands

Collapsing and still not know

And your hands collapse and still not know

Not know

Say what it is

Say how it is with everybody I know

I got no temper for that

I send you this

Cadmium red, one for every layer I shed

And I shed one layer for this

Say what it is

It's so impossible

But if I just say what it is

It tends to sublimate away

When I was looking to drop

My life away

More every year

I shine  light on edges I tried to un-feel

But we gotta do better than that

Some sorting out

So I'll be sitting on the outskirts if you wanna talk about it

Things in there were just getting so loud

Say what it is

It's so impossible

But if I just say what it is

It tends to sublimate away

When I was looking to drop

My life away
