Here, wearing this dress,

Though my hair is a mess,

I’m hoping you’ll see the distance in me.

Here, faced with the ice,

The cold of the sky

Turn colour down

Till I’m, I’m porcelain

And cracking now.

Here, treading ground that I know,

G Bm

Bare over stone,

G D Bm G

The circles I form on the landscapes are drawn,

G D Bm G

Matching my mind in their endless design.

D G Bm

No, the pain’s not your fault.

You say I’m made of salt:

G D Bm G

You can’t rub it in, it was born on my skin.

You, silent thing,

Turn colour down

Till I’m, I’m porcelain

And cracking now.
