lyrics

Ive had to see whats inside of me
i ate a microscope, it was hard to eat
If i close my eyes good and tight
i could see my insides if I had eaten a light
seams bursting open, this is just what i see
over stuffed cotton falling out of me

but i can't complain, not in such a state
something much worse could be lying in wait

can't forgive what is broken if only broken things are free
you can take it all from him but you cant take it from me
i'll be your safe, i'll be your library
i'll be the very day that you met me
and nothing will change no this is just how it will be
my sister and my mom, my father and me
a happy family.

and who can I blame for taking him away,
Heavy metals in the air lodging in his brain?
well the demons been awoken and its smiling at me
its too little to late, cause I am the library
volumes of history, written into me.
