I don't belong in your arms
Like a fish that's been drawn from the sea
Restless through the air, death at my feet
Bound to cool in the hands of a maker that I won't meet
I don't belong in your arms - no, no, not me
I don't belong in a home
There are pictures in frames held with three
Carbon copies of dreams, two stay while one leaves
With my nose to the pane, there's a pain of which I can't speak
I don't belong in a home - no, no, not me
I don't belong to myself
I'm a shelved collection of these
Thoughts that weight on my chest, they buckle my knees
If we're all built to break -
Guess that makes me defunct machinery
I don't belong to myself - no, no, not me
Not me
Not me
Not me
