gossamer

Had a bad day, cried on the train

Uptown downpour, pants dripping wet from the rain

Think I'm being punked

Dunk tank and I'm strapped to the chair

At the whim of a straight shot, hot through the air

Coincidental bad luck

I don't wanna grow thicker skin, I don't wanna get tough

I won't protect myself at the cost of missing so much

I wanna be see-through

Gossamer, I'll let it hurt when it needs to

I wanna be see-through

Not a thing between my blood, my veins, and how I feel about you

I wanna be see-through

Got hired then let go again

Paycheck paying back what I already spent

Chewed up and spit out

Things are looking down

But I wanna be soft like cloth on the line

Your words like the wind through my fragile design

Like I'm made of stained glass

So the light gets in and the dark won't last

See-through

Gossamer, I'll let it hurt when it needs to

I wanna be see-through

Not a thing between my blood, my veins, and how I feel about you

I'll let you see right through my skin like a jellyfish

I'm feeling all of it, what you see is what you get

Just wrap up all I am into cellophane

Put me up on display

Translucent silhouette

I wanna be see-through

Gossamer, I'll let it hurt when it needs to

I wanna be see-through

Not a thing between my blood, my veins, and how I feel about you

I wanna be see-through
