Claim my sanity, for I lost myself in you again
I can take you with me, but my eyes are too fragile
Can I show you around my mind?
Will I hold you too softly?
I know that you and I are suprisingly healthy
Jump and sing, but the air is too low
Can you hold me now, can you love me now?
So alone in my mind, my hair falls beneath the ground
Under here everything is upside down, over there is just too loud
mmmmmmm

My arms feel like lead, my head feels like feathers
Sweeping and mopping, just plain laughing, I can see how much you value me
I can feel your eyes on my belly
It isn't pretty inside my belly
The music drives to the shores of mmmmmmm
Underneath the bed is my sister, my sister
and a steering wheel in my head
I dream of places I have never been before, I fly planes never flown before
mmmmmmm

There's the sunshine just over my pillow, just over my pillow in my mind
I can breathe, watch me, breathe all by myself
Tomorrow is going to be a better day, yesterday was fine
A breeze blows on my pillow from outside, I hear birds and butterflies
Sailors come closer, closer to me, I'm over by the sea
It's hard for me to speak, but I promise I'll be good
So many faces, too many names
I'm stressed out, but I'm playing my piano loud and strong
