Paper Mache

[Verse 1]
I know the tide
I know you're always on my mind
And I know the place that you've been hiding
For all your life

[Refrain]
I am just a stranger on your back
And it feels as if I'll drown
Water up to my knees
I ignore your silly frown
And the panic in between
Your headspace and mine

[Verse 2]
I misread your books
I misread you saying what you want
And what you believe
And how you decide and when to stop

[Refrain]
'Cause I am just a stranger on your back
And it feels as if my breath
It fused to reach my minds
And if my eyes won't close
I blew my eyelids on
I can barely say I'm you

[Verse 3]
Sounds less debate
Cuff speeding sands
Into disabled friends
Where are my tens?
Why are we waiting for anything else?

[Refrain]
While I am just a stranger on your back
You went and almost drowned
The water in your brain
It barely lets me speak
It barely hides the stains
In a paper mache

[Outro]
You went and almost drowned
The water in your brain
It barely lets me speak
It barely hides the stains
In a paper mache
