Basic Space

Lyrics

Neck, chest, waist to floor
 Easy to take, you could take me in fours
 Make me a deal, a day a piece
 Take it all, just stay a week
 I'll take you in pieces, we can take all apart
 I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
 I've been underwater, breathing out and in
 I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
 Basic space, open air
 Don't look away when there's nothing there
 I'm setting us in stone
 Piece by piece, before I'm alone
 Air tight, before we break
 Keep it in, keep us safe
 It's a pool of boiling wax, I'm getting in
 Let it set, got to seal this in
 Can't adjust, can't relearn
 Got to keep what I have, preserve
 Basic space, open air
 Don't look away when there's nothing there
 ♪
 Hot wax has left me with a shine
 Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
 Second skin
 Second skin
 I can't let it out, I still let you in
 I can't let it out, I still let you in
