Needles & Pinches

You came into peace
Little hearts, little feet
You lost your heartbeat
Listen close, little seed

Everybody says life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
But I'm never forgetting the day
They told me you'd got away
From it all

You latch like olive oil
Slip away, the light, loud
I must be rotting soil
That didn't clay in a drought

Everybody says life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
Everybody says you've got your health and then flinches
Cause every time I dream there's nothing but needles and pinches

And I'm never forgetting the day
They told me you'd got away
From it all
And I'm sad it would happen to us
I've found me that rock in my guts
That proved me wrong

Everybody says that life should be beautiful, is it?
Everybody says you've got your life so just live it
Everybody says you've got your health and then flinches
Uh, cause every time I dream there's nothing but needles and pinches

And everybody says you've got your man so just hold him
But everybody knows my body cannot hold, it's breaking
(Ha) And everybody says well if you cannot hold, you can't brace it
And then everybody says well everything I've said, just erase it
HA

Cause I'm never forgetting the day
They told me you'd got away
From it all
And I'm sad it would happen to us
Have found me that rock in my guts
Now prove me wrong

And I am empty in head and in heart
Empty in belly and arms
Breath and tongue

And I'm never forgetting the day
They told me you got away
Too goddamn young
