[Intro]
Em C G
[Verse 1]
Em C G
You can not protect
Em C G
That which you cannot control
Em C G
I lit a candle for you
Em C G
But somebody blew it out
Em C G
He comes to me in my dreams
Em C G
And tells me that he's alright
Em C G
That he's just been hiding out
Em C G
Somewhere there is no light
Em C G
Oh yeah, that'd be nice
Em C G
And if you took it back
Em C G
I wouldn't feel so uncertain
Em C G
I wouldn't feel so uncertain
Em C G
That when your body hit the earth
Em C G
It opened up and swallowed you
Em C G
She kept you safe in her heart's center
Em C G
And always tucked you in at night
Em C G
And when you woke up nervous
Em C G
She said, baby you're inside of me
Em C G
You're safe inside my orange womb
Em C G
There's no reason to worry
[Verse 2]
Em C G
They bought him magnets
Em C G
To form into different shapes
Em C G
Small spheres of metal
Em C G
Always carefully composed
Em C G
He's making hexagons
Em C G
He's making perfect squares
Em C G
He's making triangles
Em C G
He's making cylinders
Em C G
And in the junk yard
Em C G
Above the robot screams
Em C G
They give him orders
Em C G
Like Rabbits from his dreams
Em C G
They're laying eggs now
Em C G
And Hatching fever spells
Em C G
It hits him slowly
Em C G
His blood is thinner now
[Outro]
Em C G
Things slip sometimes
Em C G
Things slip sometimes
Em C G
Things slip sometimes
