And its all the treasures that shine in the street
As we drive right over them
And its all the mornings we missed for sleep
As the sun glides over our apartment
And its all the subtle change in landscape and business
Reminds you of your limited time
This time youll listen to the movement in your body
How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you
Cause youre barely alive
Youre desperate in finding something else to please you
Youve been searching your whole life
Something to mute, change, or just distract you
Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life
Cause youve always been barely alive
Cause youre barely alive
Cause youre barely alive
Youve always been barely alive
Have you not?
And the greatest escape that you ever did make
With your arms by your side left it up to fate
And the coast that youve seen though youre watching them weekly
Youve cursed all perfect days as you walked away
I can hear you say, Jenny, youre barely alive
a metal rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth at night
Cause youre barely alive
Youve always been barely alive
Cause youre barely alive
Always been barely alive
