lyrics

by the time i heeded your repeated insistence
and succeeded at carving out the necessary distance,
i became the hunted game, under the knife -
trying to cut away the parts that cut away your life.
by the time i repented and consented to bear
my share of the weight i had asked you to carry,
oh, i was the shed shell of molting beetle -
a torn shirt pierced by your thread and needle.

(oh, i was the autumn leaf, turned half-red -
a torn shirt pierced by your needle and thread).

sew up the shredded parts of me
(and my gaping need for autonomy)
sew up the shredded parts of me
like an unraveled stitch on cotton tee.
sew up the worn-down parts, and then
(despite how useless i have been)
sew up the worn-down parts, and then
i'll be worthy to wear again.

oh, i cannot serve two masters, but haven't i
become a servant of disaster in my master's eye?
i am the first become last, surviving by
living not better but faster, don't ask me why
i'd even bother hereafter...

...just let me die.
