Foiled

I try to stay on top of you 
to hold your body down 
your shaking seems to hinder 
every grasp that i had found 
moving every inch around you 
to defuse your private bomb 
i stretch myself surrounding 
and protecting you from harm 
i use a wallet for your mouth 
so when you bite you will not bleed 
i drilled a wire through my cheek 
and led it down and out my sleeve 
now you're pulling out the best of me 
which never ever comes 
this wire's all that’s left of me 
and it's hooked within my gums 
within my gums 

so drill it 
so drill it 
so hard i feel it 

it's proof to show i’d bleed for this 
i’d cut myself to shame 
to get to know this masochist 
who's stolen my first name 
pretending he's a teacher 
holding all of my weight at ease 
yet the teacher seems to split in two 
destroying both his knees 

and now crawling i position myself 
below your broken wing 
i lift your feathered left arm 
where you hide your heart from me 
i never noticed it was swollen 
with a touch of brutal pain 
i never knew a heart could live inside 
the rust from all your rain 
all your rain 

so drill it 
so drill it 
so hard i feel it 

i didn’t think to bring a wash cloth 
or to rub away the dirt 
myself and i we share 
this barely beating heart of hurt 
and when the hurt comes 
there's an argument 
a fight to save a smile 
a small attack on human tears 
to dry them for a while 

a dream we all should count on 
a vision i believe 
where confidence is found 
attached to wires on our sleeves 
and where loneliness is history 
told to pack it's shit and leave 
where guidance is a fortune 
told to help in time of need 
and where crying isn’t secret 
it's the art of how we grieve 
and lessons are the key 
to every goal i will achieve 
i will achieve 

so drill it 
so drill it 
so hard i feel it 
(i’ll carry on) 
so drill it 
so drill it 
so hard i feel it 
(i’ll always carry on)
