Lyrics
I should sleep
But I can't
I should leave
But I can't, I should strip the paint
From the room, close the windows to the blinds
Bind the door with the broom
Her fingers, and her lies
The hauntings that occur in the attics of her eyes
I don't know how you can be so calm
I should finish
What I start, I should
Put down the pen, I must write the beginning
And end it again
Her anger, and her wiles
Her clever little game, you watch
As she destroys what
She would rather maim
I don't know how you can be so calm
One lover to the next
One scorned, another vexed
And the plot that's caught between them is unraveling
I'm sleeping in midair
Terrified of
Touching down and scraping ground
Afraid the sound of nervous laughter
And defeat will never leave me
The one who cannot meet herself
In the mirror, never knowing
Which image will first look away and
Which mutation will attach itself to her face
I stay away, I stay away
I don't know how you can
Be so calm (Be so calm, be so calm, be so calm)
One lover to the next
Do you agree to intercede, or would you rather
Oversee this plot that's caught between you
Is unraveling (Is unraveling, is unraveling, is unraveling)
There's one lover to the next
One scorned, another vexed, and I'm the plot
That's caught
Between you
I don't know how you (I don't know how you)
I don't (I don't)
Know how (Know how)
You can be so calm
