Self​-​Preservation

from Technology Complicates Things by Wispher

/

lyrics

my lungs were not sinking silently
before they exploded inside of me
you wanted me to learn how to drown
or breathe underwater while time slowed down
there was nothing i could do
there was nothing i could do

i closed my eyes and it wasn't real
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel
and i hoped that you were the answer

alone in an igloo, underfed
it's self-preservation, that's what they said
you wanted me to learn how to freeze or shiver forever
because she's an army of archers taking aim
their arrows are lit with her open flame
you wanted me to learn how to burn
or wait by the fire until your return

i closed my eyes and it wasn't real
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel, to feel
and i hoped that you were the answer
but i was wrong, i knew that it wasn't real
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel, to feel
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel

i counted the stories as i fell
they distantly whispered a sad farewell
you wanted me to learn how to fly
or plunge like a plane shot out of the sky
there was nothing i could do
there was nothing i could do

i closed my eyes and it wasn't real
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel, to feel, to feel
and i hoped that you were the answer
but i was wrong, and i knew that it wasn't real
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel, to feel, to feel
you came, you asked me how it felt to feel
i closed my eyes
