Static in my teeth Cold light on the floor Don't say a word I already know I learned how to smile At exactly the right time Learned how to stand still While something slipped inside Everybody loves A clean and simple shape Cut the rough parts off Till nothing real remains I tried God, I tried To fit inside the lines But every time I made it straight I lost another piece of mine So don't come close With your careful hands Don't redraw me So you understand If this is wrong Let it stay wrong Don't fix me Don't save me Stand where the faultline breaks Don't smooth me Don't name me I don't need another shape If I shake Let me shake If I bend Let me bend Don't drag me back to solid ground Stand where the faultline breaks With me Right here Where it moves Right here Where it hurts I've heard every word "Be softer" "Be less" "Be easy to hold" "Be easier to guess" I can make myself small I know exactly how But every quiet little compromise Still makes the same damn sound Crack Crack Underneath the skin Maybe breaking isn't failure Maybe that's where I begin So keep your cure Keep your perfect plan I don't need To make you understand If this is wrong Let it stay wrong Don't fix me Don't save me Stand where the faultline breaks Don't smooth me Don't name me I don't need another shape If I shake Let me shake If I bend Let me bend Don't drag me back to solid ground Stand where the faultline breaks With me You feel that? Under your feet That's not the end That's everything moving Let it move I don't want a better version I don't want a cleaner name I don't want your safe horizon I don't want to stay the same If the ground gives out beneath us Don't reach down and pull me free Just look straight into the fracture And fall out of line with me Don't fix me Don't save me Stand where the faultline breaks Don't smooth me Don't name me I don't need another shape If I shake Let me shake If I bend Let me bend No solid ground No second skin No going back to fit again Don't fix me Just stay Stand where the faultline breaks With me Static in my teeth Cold light No straight line No clean ending Just you Still here While everything moves
