And it’s all the treasures that shine in the street As we drive right over them And its all the mornings we missed for sleep As the sun glides over our apartment And it’s all the subtle change in landscape and business Reminds you of your limited time This time you’ll listen to the movement of your body How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you Cause you’re barely alive
You’re desperate in finding something else to please you You’ve been searching your whole life Something to mute, change, or just distract you Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life Cause you’ve always been barely alive Cause you’re barely alive Cause you’re barely alive You’ve always been barely alive Have you not?
And the greatest escape that you ever did make
With your arms by your side left it up to fate And the coast that you’ve seen though you’re watching them weekly You’ve cursed all perfect days as you walked away I can hear you say, “Jenny, you’re barely aliveâ€
The metal rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth every night
Cause you’re barely alive You’ve always been barely alive Cause you’re barely alive Always been barely alive
