Basic Space Lyrics

Neck chest waist to floor

Easy to take you could take me in fours

Make me a deal a day a piece

Take it all just stay a week

I'll take you in pieces

We can take it all apart

I've suffered ship wrecks right from the start

I've been underwater breathing out and in

I think I'm losing where you end and I begin

Basic space open air

Don't look away when there's nothing there

 

I'm setting us in stone

 

Piece by piece before I'm alone

 

Airtight before we break

Keep it in keep us safe

It's a pool of boiling wax

I'm getting in

Let it set

Got to seal this in

Can't adjust Can't relearn

Got to keep what I have preserve

 

Basic space open air

Don't look away when there's nothing there

 

Hot wax has left me with a shine

Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind

 

Second skin second skin

 

I can't let it out I still let you in

 

 

I can't letitout I still let you in
