Satellite Skin Lyrics - Modest Mouse

If you break these moth wing feelings 

Powdering dust on your fingers 

Well now were not prayin' we're kneelin' 

Hard enough just to say you believe them 

Well how the heck did you think you could beat them 

At the same time that your trying to be them 

Hard enough just to say you don't need it 

When they took it up while you were still eating 

Well satellite, satellite skin 

Just to know, just to say you don't realize it 

Well everyone's willing to listen 

Oh satellite, satellite skin 

You can say what you want your forgiven 

Well happy fucking congratulations. 

Well everyone, everyone wins 

Just like being my own solar system 

Doing good things but they totally eclipse them 

Oh whats the use, oh what the hell 

If you break these moth wing feelings 

Butterfly knives in the ceiling 

Well everyone, everyone's waiting 

Detachments gets praised and completed 

You can say what you want and not mean it 

Well no one really seems to be waiting 

If you sweep up this mess I created 

Nothings left to show I existed 

Oh satellite, satellite skin 

Asking for a question 

Was it easier to say then was actually done? 

Do you even believe them? 

Do you even believe that there's a race to be won? 

If you break these moth wing feelings 

I have seen it all become satellite skin 

Opening some eyes 

A knack to know that it's their opinions 

Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots 

Just to tell you I could not have seen 

Through to the gist of those unhappy, 

Happy accidents.
