Maria Mckee We Pair Off
Bad shape and deadweight
Heavy air, empty space
Lead light and iron waves
Cut through me like a blade
The atmosphere is seeping through
It's crushing me in two
And I'm seeking the heat from you
And we pair off
I'm just a tiny speck, tossed by a finger-flick
Colliding in tiny wrecks and firing little fits
Blown about like a mishap
Shaken off the map
And we're falling into the cracks
And we pair off
Wasted (what tough way we learn)
Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)
Wasted, shapeless
And we pair off, and we pair off
Ill fitting inside the day
Still stuffing your life away
Find each other like rains of dust
Find each other because we must
Our colors running together
Are turning shades of rust
And to cry's only natural
And we pair off
Wasted (what tough way we learn)
Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)
Wasted, shapeless
And we pair off, and we pair off
Wasted (what tough way we learn)
Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)
Wasted, shapeless
And we pair off, and we pair off
Wasted
Shapeless
Wasted
Shapeless
