"The Needle" lyrics

Dissociated so hard, think
I may have pushed myself too far
In a line-up I think I might lose
This face to somebody else who
Could take better care of these cheekbones
Hold this head up like it's their own
'Cause I don't know the hands that reach for me
When I try to hold myself gently

Locked in reflection
Stare out at eyes that aren't my own
You know me, you know me
You know me
Locked in reflection
Stare out at eyes that aren't my own
You know me, you know me
You know me

Bedroom, summer of 2008
A box fan stirs enough air to make me ache
The last time I think I was whole
It was humid, there were jasmines out my window

Derealization haunts me, makes
Everything feel like a dream, I
Pinch myself once every day to
Try to make the feeling go away, but
Why would it ever be that simple? No
It'll never ever be that simple, so
My life, it gleams on movie screens
For eternity, it's that simple

Locked in
Reflection
Locked in
Reflection

Bedroom, summer of 2008
A box fan stirs enough air to make me ache
The last time I think I was whole
It was humid, there were jasmines out my window

Bedroom, summer of 2008
A box fan stirs enough air to make me ache
The last time I think I was whole
It was humid, there were jasmines out my window

Stitching up wounds on a stranger's body
When did she become my responsibility?
Compartmentalize, at least I'm not feeling
The needle as it sets her back to healing
