"Craters" lyrics

"Craters"

There's a crater in my living room floor
I have to walk around just to get to my front door
And it's embarrassing having people over
Watching them politely trying not to fall
Trying not to fall

There's a crater in the middle of my chest
I've had to rearrange each organ and I confess
It's been a little hard having people notice
Everything I feel
Deep inside me when
I'm just trying to pretend

I know one day they'll fill in
I know it will be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time

We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes
And these craters will be a part of mine

There's a crater on the left side of my bed
I have to lie facing the right side or I get upset
And it's humiliating having lovers over
Watching them retreat backwards down the hall
Not mentioning it at all

I know one day they'll fill in
I know that it will be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time

We all need a story of hitting rock bottom sometimes
And these craters will be a part of mine

But I'm gonna launch right off the bottom
Of the deep holes you left
I'm gonna use these scrappy wings
I found while cleaning out my chest
And I'm gonna soar so beautifully
It'll hurt your eyes
But today it's just these craters and I

I know one day they'll fill in
I know that I'll be fine
I know by now becoming whole again
Just takes time

We all need war stories to look back on and smile
And God damn it, these craters will be mine
