Inertia by Taylor Sackson Lyrics
You asked me how I was
So I told you the truth
It scared you
And now we’re both silent
I wake up in a puddle
I wring myself out
I drive 'til I remember
Where I was going
I sing to the radio
At least it listens to me
I build a house
Out of my ribcage
And when I laugh
The walls shake
Things slide off the shelves
And they shatter
I put the broken pieces
Back where I found them
I wake up in a puddle
I wring myself out
I drive til I remember
Where I was going
I sing to the radio
At least it listens to me
I wake up to the clouds
And they grin back
I grin until my cheeks split open
And when it falls apart
Just like it always does
Well that’ll be your reminder
That I’m not asking for a lot
Didn’t mean to
But I’m not awake anymore
So I told you the truth
It scared you
And now we’re both silent
I wake up in a puddle
I wring myself out
I drive 'til I remember
Where I was going
I sing to the radio
At least it listens to me
I build a house
Out of my ribcage
And when I laugh
The walls shake
Things slide off the shelves
And they shatter
I put the broken pieces
Back where I found them
I wake up in a puddle
I wring myself out
I drive til I remember
Where I was going
I sing to the radio
At least it listens to me
I wake up to the clouds
And they grin back
I grin until my cheeks split open
And when it falls apart
Just like it always does
Well that’ll be your reminder
That I’m not asking for a lot
Didn’t mean to
But I’m not awake anymore
