Oxygen - Glass Hands

God I’m broken in

Hear my voice, you win

She pulled my veins like the strings of a marionette

And now I’m caught, stuck in her web

And with my last dying breath

I would ask her to stay forever

Been here before, life-support

But I need her more

I’m stuck in my head, tied to this hospital bed

And I wish I wasn’t dead

So I could’ve turned to you and said

Shut off my oxygen

Our love was only carbon-based

Just like the world, it’s all gone to waste

So please tell me, is this what you expected?

In a season like cyanide, you killed me

You took away the mask that gave me life

Put flowers on my grave

And pray that life’s the same when I’m gone

Now I’m gone

I’m gonna carry myself to the shallows in my mind

I’d rather cut the strings I tied

And never find the time to find piece of mind

I’d rather drown myself than be left behind

Be left behind

It always hurt to be careful

It always hurt to stand still

You pushed me to the point

Where I felt I didn’t have a choice

Just to end it all, and

Shut off my oxygen

Our love was only carbon-based

Just like the world, it’s all gone to waste

So please tell me, is this what you expected?

In a season like cyanide, you killed me

You took away the mask that gave me life

Put flowers on my grave

And pray that life’s the same when I’m gone

Now I’m gone

And all along the way

We’re trying to place the blame

Now you’ll see, this was never meant to be

(We're screaming out)

What did you steal from me?

What did you take from all the days we spent running?

I guess we pushed too hard

We wanted what couldn’t be done in such little time

We pushed blood through these pages and let our greed pave the way

All the way, all the way

All the way
