lyrics

In the sedentary night, I unbutton my own blouse
And allow my breast to peek out
from the gap in my lapel
Cause I know you'll hear this someday
so I'm traveling through time
to plant this salty secret
in your mind

I'm on my way down
I'm almost there now
When I can't get it I will give it to myself
I'm on my way down

I'm an unbridled force of nature with a bitter pill with time
and a snaggletooth that
complicates my smile
but the sleepy grin you give me
when you whisper "it's alright"
makes it worth the wisdom teeth
i sacrifice

I'm on my way down
I'm almost there now
When I can't get it I will give it to myself
I'm almost there now

It's alright, it's alright, I'd forgotten it's alright

There is a ghost of indecision and I'm grateful when it hides
wouldn't be here in my own skin
had it materialized
I can conjure pain from nothing
summon pleasure on a dime
so excuse me
while I juice it while it's ripe

I'm on my way down
I'm almost there now
When I can't get it I will give it to myself
I'm on my way down

It's alright, it's alright, I'd forgotten it's alright
