Skinned Knees Lyrics - Mortimer Nova

a little song before you go to sleep 

this fire you've sparked in me will burn me alive 

a vertigo, the milquetoast, digress 

looks like i'll be drowning alone 

i'm all alone in my cell while you go 

trapped in a flood, sink alive, pray to die 

attention, please be still, say no more 

attention, there's no love, anymore 

i'll wait for tomorrow to shave my head and start over 

hold my breath and fall backwards, will you catch me 

float over belly up and take me home 

i can't forgive you until the day we are flawless 

just the way you speak drops me to my knees, skinned knees
