Lyrics Maria McKee

Maria McKee

We Pair Off

Bad shape and deadweight

Heavy air, empty space

Lead light and iron waves

Cut through me like a blade

The atmosphere is seeping through

It's crushing me in two

And I'm seeking the heat from you

And we pair off

I'm just a tiny speck, tossed by a finger-flick

Colliding in tiny wrecks and firing little fits

Blown about like a mishap

Shaken off the map

And we're falling into the cracks

And we pair off

Wasted (what tough way we learn)

Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)

Wasted, shapeless

And we pair off, and we pair off

Ill fitting inside the day

Still stuffing your life away

Find each other like rains of dust

Find each other because we must

Our colors running together

Are turning shades of rust

And to cry's only natural

And we pair off

Wasted (what tough way we learn)

Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)

Wasted, shapeless

And we pair off, and we pair off

Wasted (what tough way we learn)

Wasted (even the space we leave is barren)

Wasted, shapeless

And we pair off, and we pair off

Wasted

Shapeless

Wasted

Shapeless
