lyrics

It's so strange to feel this detached and insane
perhaps it's because I'm so far away
from the source of my pain
don't come near, stand clear
this heart is unsafe
don't come near, stand clear
this heart, this heart is a cave

Been reading your thoughts
warm words from the past
simultaneously saying
this is forever, and you know it can't last
so don't come near, stand clear
this heart is a cave

Tryin to fix me
you want a hand in all my victories
some credit for some change
but this heart's a cave
(I'm fucking dying)
a little influence on proximity
I think I'll keep my pleasure delayed

You covered my chest
in bright orange posted signs
hunted my love
for the sins of my mind
you covered my chest
in yellow black posted signs
hunted my love for the sins of my mind now

Dont' come near
you better stand clear
this brain is a bear

My heart is a cave (and you)
You're tryin to fix me (you're the winter)

But my brain is a bear
and my heart is a cave
and you're the fucking winter
and now it's time to sleep
