lyrics
collecting broken bottles to decorate my bed
and when that night breeze hits, my skin I'll gladly shed
build me out of sticks and concrete
because I can't find a home
in this body
if I was better made,
would I know my own name?
whispers wander further than my voice will ever go
echoes in a sailboat, but the tide comes in too slow
don't confuse the quiet with the sound of defeat
I just can't find a home
in the words I speak
if I was better made,
would I know my own name?
I look like my mother, we're drawn with the same lines
and the burden that is hers, I see becoming mine
I'm afraid to be my father, I'm afraid to let him win
he couldn't give a home to
the kid I should've been
come and take from me
the things that I lack
I'm tired of this bag that
never hits back
if I was better made,
would I know my name?
if I was better made,
would I know my own name?
