Anesthetized
Warm muscles left to dry
We keep the lights on but I don't know why
Cast aside
It may be worth a try
If we can do it then we'll never die
I've been taking a risk or two and they haven't turned to glass
But maybe my trump has come to pass
You are too young to move this fast
Our hands are tied and our fates collide and our heads turn into glass
It will shatter, inevitably crash
A seventeen-year-old girl will never last
When in dark
I trace your question marks
Connect your dots, make you my art
Flint to spark
Give you a running start
Coming after with a tag and a bag and a dart
I never resist my mind but my heart still turns to glass
I wish you would take a risk on me
This may be the only time I'm free
