As we fall into sequence And we're eating our young Remain silent and still for modesty When the splints have been broken And they can't help you now Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally Follow me into nowhere Woven with the utmost care If I'm lost please don't find me If I jump let me sink We descended from no one With a wink When it's cold outside hold me Don't hold me When I choose to rest my eyes coax me Don't coax me When it's cold outside hold me Don't hold me When I choose to rest my eyes coax me Don't coax me Follow me into nowhere Woven with the utmost care Have they cleansed you with chloride And scrubbed behind the knees Has your body been hollowed by the breeze
