Lyrics

Breathe in deep I want you to
That's why the arm came for you
Help you up, help you out, to help you through
That's why the arm came for you

You faded into a different shade
A completely different hue of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass, in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you'll wake up soon
Hopefully you do, oh I want you to

That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you

Now you'll see how it feels to live like a bee
Always searching for what's honey
And the veins made some stains
When they burst from your legs
Your anxiety is a tapestry

Now you'll swim until it's deep
Until it feels like you're asleep
Against the sound of warning cries
Which you don't hear, oh I cannot not hear

In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash
Hopefully you wake up soon
Hopefully you do, oh I want you to

That's why the arm came for you
That's why the arm came for you

Don't go to sleep, don't want you to
And that's why the arm came for you
Need you to even if it's pointless to
Let your arms carry you

You're mine, you're mine
You'll always be mine
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving
Maybe I'll try

You're mine, you're mine is that why I lied
If I tell the truth you weren't breathing
Maybe I'll try, girl I lie
