How It Gets In

Bring on the bandages, pressure the wound

It’s a bright, bright red that colors us in

Good for the invalids, downers, and killers

In sick, sick beds and silicone drips

Buzzing towards me

Spirit awakens

A once lived glitch

And that’s how it gets in

It’s how it gets in, It’s how it gets in

We’re invisible lovers

It’s how it gets in, It’s how it gets in

To invisible lovers

Cowering youngsters, elastic and covered

In feather-down hair all standing on end

Even the others' thick skin bears the evidence

Cuts so thin, how does it get in?

How does it get in?

There’s a place where you live

It’s how it gets in, It’s how it gets in

Even invisible lovers

It’s how it gets in, It’s how it gets in

To invisible lovers

It’s how it gets in, It’s how it gets in

To invisible lovers

Opened by instruments, closed by a thread

There’s a space in the stitch
