the world is very long for me
I wonder if it’s long for you too
I wonder if you long for me
the way that I’ve been longing to get to you
oh well
oh well
but I’ve been sick and tired
my clothes smell like the hospital room
I’m screaming from the choir
trying to break out of my body’s plywood tomb
oh well
oh well
I’m not well
oh well
I’m not well
oh well, oh well
I’m not well
oh well, noël
I’m not well
noël
steal a couple words
from someone who I met inside a dream
my teeth still taste like dirt
pull at the fault-lines in my chest like they’re fraying seams
oh well
oh well
I feel like an asteroid
oh well
you used to want to hurt
you used to think you knew what you deserved
you used to want to hurt
you used to think you knew
something I don’t
oh well
I feel like an asteroid
I think I’m an asteroid
I think we were asteroids
we came from an asteroid
leave it to an asteroid
leave it to an asteroid
leave it to an asteroid
leave it to an asteroid
I’m not well, noël
noël, oh well
oh well, oh well, oh well
oh well, oh well
noël
