lyrics

Have you ever wanted to be pulled apart
and put back together?
Have them take away your aches and pains
Heal your heart and brains
Make you light as a feather
With all that you’ve learned, would you like a new start

Or do you feel like you’ve been ripped apart
while drifting out to sea
slowly by a bunch of sharks
dragged down in the dark
torn into by their teeth
But somehow you’re still alive, in parts

But you can’t be pulled apart
And be put back together
You’re not a machine
You’re a goddamned human being
Imperfectly whole

Do you feel like you’ve been picked apart
By everyone you know?
Pieces of you paralyzed?
Compartmentalized?
As if you’re a piece of code
A story that’s been told, as if you didn’t have a heart

But you can’t be pulled apart
And be put back together
You’re not a machine
You’re a goddamned human being
Imperfectly whole
