You Break Me Down - Venus Hum

Wait as all the signs swirl around,

I’ve been in this bed four months now.

Falling out of the sky,

I can look at myself

From the ground.

Well, hello.

Is this how it is?

You separate the coarse from the loud,

You break me down,

You wear me out.

I sleep with all the lights on

You’re seeing me doubt.

Oh what once was a lion is just a bird to me now

Oh, help.

Is this how it is?

You separate the red from the brown,

You forget what it is you were going to say.

It doesn’t mean much now (x2)

You break me down.

Wishing all the bricks untied themselves.

Rode in on the broken back of my health, oh.

Is this how it is?

You separate the quiet and the proud.

I think I’ll stay in, but it’s so nice outside.

There’s a war I’m losing

Of pins to lightning strikes.

I’m found out,

You wear me out,

Asleep with all the lights on

You’re seeing me die,

What was once a lion is just a bird to me now

I need you now.

(x2)
