"CENTIPEDE LEGS" lyrics
I'm staring deep into your eyes again
They stare at me, I'm staring back at them
And anything I ever do is everything
No sense of safety, no security
No structure, my vulnerability is
Endlessly habitual and sickening
No, I don't wanna die
I'd never even try
I'm prayin' on my life while I'm combing through your lies
With every bone I crack
My legs keep coming back
I'm always keeping on
But always losing track
Keep my head on tight
And if I ever fall, just promise me
That I will be okay-I need this, please
I want to feel secure, but honestly?
I'm living through your mind subconsciously
(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!
I know you have seen it all!
Take sick joy out of my pain
You and I are not the same
I know you gave me my name
Know my secrets and my shame
Though I give you your acclaim
You break all my centipede legs
Every time I turn around, there's something new about you
I thought I knew you up and down
Sometimes I swear I still do
Clinging to the past like it does me any good
I'm avoidin' the red flags like a good devotee should
Now I'm turning back around
Yeah, I'm lookin' up and down
Finding cracks inside the wall
Wondering what holds me down
But it all comes back to you
Yeah, it all comes back to you
No, I wish it wasn't true
Tell me: what am I to do? (do? do?)
And if I ever fall, just promise me
That I will be okay-I need this, please
I want to feel secure, but honestly?
I'm living through your mind subconsciously
(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!
I know you have seen it all!
Take sick joy out of my pain
You and I are not the same
I know you gave me my name
Know my secrets and my shame
Though I give you your acclaim
You break all my centipede legs
If you love me like you say
Why do you keep hurting me?
Crawl back to you either way
Despite all of my broken legs
(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!
I know you have seen it all!
Take sick joy out of my pain
You and I are not the same
I know you gave me my name
Know my secrets and my shame
Though I give you your acclaim
You break all my centipede legs
They stare at me, I'm staring back at them
And anything I ever do is everything
No sense of safety, no security
No structure, my vulnerability is
Endlessly habitual and sickening
No, I don't wanna die
I'd never even try
I'm prayin' on my life while I'm combing through your lies
With every bone I crack
My legs keep coming back
I'm always keeping on
But always losing track
Keep my head on tight
And if I ever fall, just promise me
That I will be okay-I need this, please
I want to feel secure, but honestly?
I'm living through your mind subconsciously
(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!
I know you have seen it all!
Take sick joy out of my pain
You and I are not the same
I know you gave me my name
Know my secrets and my shame
Though I give you your acclaim
You break all my centipede legs
Every time I turn around, there's something new about you
I thought I knew you up and down
Sometimes I swear I still do
Clinging to the past like it does me any good
I'm avoidin' the red flags like a good devotee should
Now I'm turning back around
Yeah, I'm lookin' up and down
Finding cracks inside the wall
Wondering what holds me down
But it all comes back to you
Yeah, it all comes back to you
No, I wish it wasn't true
Tell me: what am I to do? (do? do?)
And if I ever fall, just promise me
That I will be okay-I need this, please
I want to feel secure, but honestly?
I'm living through your mind subconsciously
(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!

Crawl back to you either way

(Oh!) Watch me stumble as I fall!

Take sick joy out of my pain
You and I are not the same
I know you gave me my name
Know my secrets and my shame
Though I give you your acclaim
You break all my centipede legs
