Lyrics RIP - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

RIP

Over my body, some cloak of fire
Hope that I don’t find out this is all
This is over, I’m so not dead
I withhold my consent to be praised
Not about to fade out in the open
Dial down the overdrive
Otherwise top yourself off in time
To sail on in toward
On toward what?
That corner you can’t turn faster so don’t
They fly to you
Won’t say hi to you
Cringing, I hold out for compromise
Oh but then don’t some principles hold like tentacles oh?
But it’s horribly kind have you taken me in
So I’ll do what I can
I’ll do it all
Dial down the overdrive
Otherwise top yourself off in time
To sail on in toward
On toward what?
That corner you can’t turn faster so don’t
They fly to you
Won’t say hi to you
Cringing, I hold out for compromise
Oh but then don’t some principles hold like tentacles oh?
But it’s horribly kind how you’ve taken me in
So I’ll do what I can
I’ll do it all
