Every Word Was Split in Two by J. Tillman Lyrics

There's a way into my head
The incision
Your mouth fell open
Every word was split in two
You tried to fix them
But nothing made sense
I can't speak
I can't speak
I can't speak either

As I lie here dying in your hands
For the first time, you can understand
That I'm a man whose life is not his own
Blown around like a worn rag to and fro

There's a way into my head
I can't remember
I've never been dead
