ive got rough edges
and bumps along
the skin i use to cover up the tar ive got

ive been thinking about
the hole in my chest
the one that says im a long way from rest

theres a hole in my chest in the shape of the earth and its inside my head thats a ship of infinite berth
i feel myself rocketing towards a great unknown if its not too late id like to be alone
but im scared of the quiet its a sad place to be when theres a sign youve been given that doesnt feel like me
but labels havent been much help for a while its the circumference of the globe in the shape of a smile

theres a leak in
a boat ive been sharin
with lots of people all of whom are caring

or i think they are
but sometimes its hard
some people make you feel like more of you than you are

theres a hole in the ground of my backyard and its inside my head like a joke too far
i feel myself rocketing towards a great unknown if its not too late id like to be alone
but im scared of the quiet its a sad place to be when theres a sign youve been given that doesnt feel like me
but labels havent been much help for a while its the circumfrence of the globe in the shape of a smile

ive got rough edges
and im feeling wrong
im feeling breathless and im not gonna last for long

ive been thinking about
a hole unmistaken
you can throw clay in but theyll come out misshapen

and a lot has happened
more than i can process
but i guess there's not much id like to address

well thats not true
but its nice to say
that all your problems are right up and squared away

there's a hole in my suit right above my heart its inside of my chest cause im so smart
the plan went wrong it always was going to but i guess i thought id keep on more crew
but im scared of the quiet a light ship will bring when theres a phone line to houston and it wont ring
but phonelines havent been much help for a while its the circumfrence of the globe in the shape of a smile

there's a hole in my dress that i wont wear ill be buried in a suit that i cant bear
the director of the mission called it a great success we saw sunrise that was all they could guess
but theres always a quiet its a sad place to be when youre buried instead of burned you told them to use she
guess the dress was really the least of my problems but i guess death was never ever gonna solve them
