Can't Keep It Down

I'm home alone, all on my own

Waiting for the pizza guy

Nobody knows what I'm doing

Solitude's my alibi

The taste of tears is on my lips

Just like the sea on salty cliffs

The sound of rain under my skin

My umbrella is too thin

No, I never was seasick

But now I know

Why some cannot take it

When they're loosing the ground

Can't keep it down

I'm starving my heart

Can't get down

It's all coming up, coming up, coming up

Here on the floor I feel so safe

Just like the earth is holding me

I hug myself with bloody hands

Pretend to stop what's coming next

No, I never was seasick

But now I know

Why some cannot take it

When they're loosing the ground

Can't keep it down

I'm starving my heart

Can't get down

Stuck in my throat

Can't keep it down

I'm starving my heart

Can't get it down

It's all coming up, coming up, coming up
