My Diorama

You're my little living thing

I put inside a diorama

Fur and tiny insect wings

I watched you from inside the closet

Inside the closet

Sweet reverie, while you sleep

I'll give you something to hold all my disasters in

Under your skin

La-da-da-da-da

Sweet memory, in too deep

Let me break you in two

Elbows shouldn't bend that way

But it's okay! Don’t be afraid

You pretend to be awake

An out-of-tune voice sighs an excuse

When warm feelings start to ache

Your misfortune has caught up to you

Sweet reverie, while you sleep

I'll give you something to hold all my disasters in

Under your skin

La-da-da-da-da

Sweet memory, in too deep

Let me break you in two

Elbows shouldn't bend that way

But it's okay! Don’t be afraid

A reason?

No, I don’t need a reason

My paper heart is bleeding

A bitterness repeating, repeating

And you will find a way to live like this

A cut-out plastic likeness

So suffer here in silence, in silence

A reason?

No, I don’t need a reason

My paper heart is bleeding

A bitterness repeating, repeating

And you will find a way to live like this

A cut-out plastic likeness

So suffer here in silence, in silence

Sweet reverie, while you sleep

I'll give you something to hold all my disasters in

Under your skin

La-da-da-da-da

Sweet memory, in too deep

Let me break you in two

Elbows shouldn't bend that way

But it's okay! Don’t be afraid
