Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The less and less I sing
As my skin begins to creep
For I recognize the truth
About the permanence of me
And we are paper-thin
We're tearing at the folds
You're living if you're warm
But I'm just feeling…

[Chorus]
Cold, but I'm not dead
Carrying all these fears on wings of lead
Coursed between the cracks
Burn my bones to ivory black

[Intro]

[Verse 2]
The less and less I sing
As my mouth begins to feed
On any ease I find
But nothing that I need
The moment I am sure
I am sure to second guess
I'll never learn to fly
If I never leave this nest
The moment I am sure
I am sure to second guess
I'm not looking for a home
I'm just looking for some rest

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
And like a wooden frame
With silk-screen for a hide
From my pores I recreate
The same old stupid lies
And with my teeth and with my nails
I'll scratch off my designs

[Chorus]
Cold, but I'm not dead
Carrying all these fears on wings of lead
Coursed between the cracks
Burn my bones to ivory black

[Chorus]

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
And like a wooden frame
With silk-screen for a hide
From my pores I recreate
The same old stupid lies
And with my teeth and with my nails
I'll scratch off my designs
