"Object Permanence" lyrics

"Object Permanence"

I've got object permanence
I know exactly where you went
Too proud to prove you could pick up where I left
So you just start again

Please come back home to me
End all of my dog-whistling
You sing harmonies as my ears ring me to sleep
Oh no, it couldn't be

Please come and shake me when I'm talking in my sleep
My dreams have been so fucked and I don't know what it means
Where I can't touch the bottom and you drag me by my feet
So scared of getting scared
But I know what's underneath
Blue beyond belief

I am your baby bird
Catching every other word
You breathe life into a body washed ashore
And call it love

I'd run forever if they let me
When I lose my legs
Will you put me down?
Taxidermy versions of your dogs hung on the wall

Please come and shake me when I'm talking in my sleep
My dreams have been so fucked and I don't know what it means
Where I can't touch the bottom and you drag me by my feet
So scared of getting scared
But I know what's underneath
Blue beyond belief

I know what's underneath
Blue beyond belief

You're getting good at letting go at your own pace
I think I'll hold on until my fingers slip away
You can't really be as angry as that look upon your face

And on picture day
You wish you never came
Swore you'd never smile with teeth again

I'll stare at the sky until I catch it blink
I will see the good in everything
