Letra Arm's Length – Safer Skin

Safer Skin – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Your words lingered on my lips like
Your breath when in the cold
You captured me in smoke tendrils and
Stories that you told
It’s so unlike you to bring back these memories of old
I thought to keep you safer here to some fault of my own

You are the wind in tall grass
The lighting shift in hours passed
Some bones are meant to crack
Stuck in the shadows you cast
(In the shadows you cast)
Rough around the edges from cutting every corner thin
And so I became dull to try and give you safer skin
I swore I wouldn’t feel a thing
And I swear I never did
I let myself fall out
I know that there’s a way back in
There always is
There always is

Quantity is quality when days are wearing thin
Nothing’s ever up to me
I just keep breathing in
And if you’d save a spot for me
I’d tell you everything
Anything you want to be
But never what you think (yeah)

Quantity is quality when days are wearing thin
Nothing’s ever up to me
I just keep breathing in
I just keep breathing in

Letra Arm's Length – Loathe

Loathe – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Running water’s cold outside this time of year
It grabs you by the throat
Some rocks and pillows float
Now slip away as I draw near
And hope your head finds home

To and fro
I’ll be silent when you go
I don’t move a muscle
But you’re breaking all my bones
My serenity is stolen
These fragile aching hands
Couldn’t count a dozen hopes
Please stand outside my window
And scare me in my sleep
‘Cause this ease is getting old
(‘Cause this ease is getting old)

To and fro
I’ll be silent when you go
I don’t move a muscle
But you’re breaking all my bones

Drained and alone
Just like everyone you know
Show me the ropes
Hang my head if you condone

My consciousness is calloused
As I try to push away
The hands that held my own

All for one has never balanced
I’ll have you know
What’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine to loathe

Letra Arm's Length – Formative Age

Formative Age – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

I’m not concerned that you’d kill for me
But you don’t even live for me
I beg you to get out of bed

You spoke only in similes
And smiled at the symmetry
Whatever made sense in your head
You said

Don’t let me know you got home
Man, I wanna feel more alone
Don’t hold out hope
Hold your hands around my throat
Your days are numbered and you know
(You’re waxing and waning)
Torn picking between your skin and bones
(You flicker, you’re fading)
Now you’re winding me up
And I’m twirling
And dancing inside of your music box dreams
Learning to love from the men in my family
Only gets you so far it seems

Don’t let me know you got home
Man, I wanna feel more alone
Don’t hold out hope
Hold your hands around my throat
Your days are numbered and you know
(You’re waxing and waning)
Torn picking between your skin and bones
(You flicker, you’re fading)

How many times am I told
I won’t go through it alone
When there’s nothing I want more?
Here, you’ll always have a home

I think I found what I needed just as you were leaving
Guess you would’ve had to have been there to believe it, I know
If you could bring anyone, who would you bring?
Each lower-case city and bad hiding place
If you’re like this with everyone, I swear that’s okay
I’m the intrusive thought that you can’t shake away

And I’ll give you my jacket, you can call me old-fashioned, oh
I’m just an accident waiting to happen, oh no

‘Cause I’m bound to go brain dead or better, insane
And there’s no guarantee you would love me the same
Put me up on your shoulders, I’ve been standing all day
Crooked, craning my neck at a formative age

I was taught slow and steady, but I’m running on empty
You said I miss you already
Are my hands too heavy to hold?

It’s like I’m walking on eggshells inside of my brain
A minefield of memories
I’m stuck in one place

Letra Arm's Length – Tough Love

Tough Love – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

What if this all pans out like you said
And I outlive all my family and friends?

What’s up?
Well, nothing much
I’ve been losing touch the past few months
It’s all at once
Or only for a moment

You loved the smell of the smoke until it got in your clothes
I’ve got some skin that I won’t ever show
What if this all pans out like you said
And I outlive all my family and friends?
And if they don’t reach out, we’ll never speak again
Well, don’t let it get to your head
But where else would it get?

Take a picture
‘Cause it lasts longer than your brain
I’ve got a photographic mеmory
But each picture is of your face

You stoppеd believing in ghosts
Now you just haunt broken homes
I’ve got some skin that I won’t ever show
The short end of every wishbone

What if this all pans out like you said
And I outlive all my family and friends
If they don’t reach out we’ll never speak again
Well, don’t let it get to your head
But where else would it get?

What’s up?
Well, nothing much
I’ve been losing touch
The past few months
It’s all at once
Or only for a moment
(A moment)

And how the fuck
Do you show tough love?
I’m not that tough
I can’t take much
Is it just my luck?

What if this all pans out like you said
And I outlive all my family and friends
And I can’t believe I’m doing this again
When everyday is a new means to an end
I never got used to it

Letra Arm's Length – Eve (Household Name)

Eve (Household Name) – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I’d never say

Said I wish you were here
Or at least that you weren’t there
You cover your ears
‘Cause you long to be less aware

And now that time has healed all of my wounds
I fear I’m too old to remember
What I got myself into
And these days, I’m not a colour but a shade
You said it’s only building character
Find out the harder way
And all the same
I’m reflecting light from everything
You wouldn’t notice if I’m thinner
Because you see me everyday

Forgotten but never gone
Old stories you pass along
I’d rather have bad luck than none
Curse ‘cause it’s in a song
I’m so fucking in the wrong
Swallow the said and done

Wincing and whining
I’ve got no room to run
Ask anyone
I don’t know where I’m from anymore
Anymore

So pretend you can’t hear
It’s not your fault just your failure
Promise me like a kid
Swear to me like a sailor
I’ll just change, rearrange
All your tectonic plates
And your head
Won’t shake again

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I’d never say

You startle easier than I did at your age
‘Cause you put the bliss in ignorance
You were my household name

Letra Arm's Length – Overture

Overture – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

I’m breaking bones
And you’re signing my cast
That’s exactly how you’ll wind up dead

I am blessed to be home
I’m possessed by my past
Put a roof over my rotten head

You know exactly where I’ll go when I’m gone
Know that it’s been in the works for so long
Born and raised tending to our trauma bond
Because you know that it’s all we’ve got
Getting better with names
But still struggling with faces
And facing the worst I can be

And I’ve been reasoning with
All my reasons to live
But I still got more reasons to leave

You know exactly where I’ll go when I’m gone
Know that it’s been in the works for so long
Born and raised tending to our trauma bond
Because you know that it’s all we’ve got

Oh, please stay as long as you’d like
Back to old ways, just like riding a bike
You pray just in case of any afterlife
And you call just in case I’m dead

A face only a mother could love
But she can hardly even look at her son
Living lonely
I won’t hurt anyone
I won’t hurt anyone

Letra Arm's Length – Talking With My Hands Again

Talking With My Hands Again – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Talking with my hands again
To hide that I’m speaking in tongues
And we’re spending time in separate beds
Like your parents did when you were young
And you can’t forgive if you only forget
And I can’t remember anything you said

Talking with my hands again
I’m keeping them to myself
‘Cause I’ve grown far too disengaged
To admit that I’m down for the count
‘Cause time won’t tell when time is wearing thin
You keep me safe where I have never been
Slow but sure
You never were
One to admit or assure
Placing bets on what our words are worth
Yeah, I’m always coming up short
All the folks move from my rural state of mind
For heaven’s sake I try to stay alive

He has a fear of being overwhelmed by this inner life
But feeling more a panic at the isolation he drops into
And this wave of panic sends him into an acute withdrawal
The objects around him lose their color, lose their separateness
They blend into this large indifference
He feels quite indifferent about the world that we live in
And he is located somewhere else
His emotions do not connect in the ordinary way, with ordinary things
But his emotions are now concerned with his myth world
And that’s his entire concern at the time

Talking with my hands again
To hide that I’m speaking in tongues
And we’re spending time in separate beds
Like your parents did when you were young
And you can’t forgive if you only forget
And I can’t remember a fucking thing you said

Letra Arm's Length – Aries (Moth Song)

Aries (Moth Song) – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

You flew around
Where my light goes
And you’re chewing holes
In all my clothes

I let you out
Thought you’d go home
But you said your home
Is where I go

Am I precious or just delicate?
Born with bargain-basement bones
And you know that
When your white blood cells
Can’t count on you
Know they’ll come for you soon
You’re numb, but not immune

You think fondly of the times
We burned smilies on our thighs
Safe where no one else could see them
Just as long as you saw mine
Just as long as you saw mine

You hold out hope
Put stock in star signs
With a telescope
To see if you’re right

A product of pity sex
But a miracle no less
You said you’re not even that scary
Wouldn’t have pegged you as an Aries
I guess

When your white blood cells
Can’t count on you
Know they’ll come for you soon
You’re numb, but not immune

You think fondly of the times
We burned smilies on our thighs
Safe where no one else could see them
Just as long as you saw mine
Just as long as you saw mine

You connect my dots
And my beauty spots
‘Til you’re seeing stars
Wherever I could not

Made out a little spoon
Said it’s just like you
A constellation curse
Waning phase honeymoon
Gone too soon

Trying to look
More like my skeleton
I’d do anything to show
We’re not so different

When you drink to drown
In your own puke
I’ll breathe life back into you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
And when I leave, you’re so confused
Like a baby in the other room
I’ll just pretend like I don’t hear you
But we both know I always do
We both know I always do

Letra Arm's Length – In Loving Memory

In Loving Memory – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

When trying hard not to remember makes you think about it more
I stand up straight, you measure, and you mark it on the door
Never saw you walk on water
But I watched you mother four
You couldn’t raise me like a father
When we’re choking on our child support

Well, am I smart?
Or just thinking really hard?
Destined for dementia
Doomed right from the very start
And our trauma bond was tangled in tape from the VCR
So sick to my stomach
I was force-fed the fear of the dark
And when you lose all muscle memory
Forgеt completely how to stand
You know I won’t let you forgеt me
I’ll come convince you who I am
Make you understand

Touch and go
Now you see me now you don’t
Phantom limb affection
Crave the feeling
Of your ghost

Now you’re forging all the symptoms that you
Never had supposed
Learning to live with them
Said it’s easier to live alone

Sick from the soothing
Drowning in dreams
Shellshocked in shelter
You’ll pass in your sleep

The thorn in my side was grown from your ground
You’re never before seen, never again found

And when you lose all muscle memory
Forget completely how to stand
You know I won’t let you forget me
I’ll come convince you who I am

I came to see
How the world looks without me
Is it all you thought it’d be?
Living in loving memory

You built me a home inside a bucket
And you’re poking some holes up top so I can breathe
Knew I was lying
If I had to look away

Do you think we’d be friends when we were younger?
If I knew you back then, God knows who I would be
Walking in semi-circles
To shape this baby face

You built me a home inside a bucket
And you’re poking some holes up top so I can breathe
Knew I was lying
If I had to look away

Do you think we’d be friends when we were younger?
If I knew you back then, God knows who I would be
Walking in semi-circles
To shape this baby face

A picture portrait of you, you’re pouting
Plucked from the days where you couldn’t feel a thing
A thousand words and always counting
But you, I can’t explain

Letra Arm's Length – No Sleep

No Sleep – Arm’s Length Lyrics, Letra:

Pushed away with all your might
Is it bad
If you want them back?
So you relied on your hindsight
You had it all
But it’s all you had

Dig yourself deeper like a lie
I’m moving slow
I’m fast asleep
Double knotting all the ties
To the friends, I had in 2016
And the showers brought May flowers to their waiting room
(Your name in italics a product of habit)
Vase half full with holy water
You were holy too
(A swan song in static so melodramatic)

And you couldn’t put it better with them holding your tongue
I’ll just say I can’t remember because I don’t like who I was
Cold to the touch and never warm enough

So you’ve settled on sleeping forever
Mark my hеight with pen and measure
An oldеr soul, was weary in my youth
No daylight to waste
No sleep left to lose

Looked over my last effort to assert
(Speak for yourself you have my word)
No, it’s never been quite like me to be firm
(And even still what’s mine is yours)

‘Cause I haven’t felt right in such a long time
And there’s no sleep left to lose
Just fucking static all the time

And the showers brought May flowers to their waiting room
(Your name in italics a product of habit)
Needed a figure like a father just like salt in your wounds
(A swan song in static so melodramatic)

You said I wouldn’t feel it when you picked me up by the scruff
Perfect posture starts to bow when the weight piles up
Cold to the touch and never warm enough
Warm enough
