What do you need me to prove to you? I said what I meant but didn't mean what I said The truth is my words escape me in eruptions They're forced back down and they burn my throat My heart frays my vocal chords The ceilings collapse, but the doors slam closed So nobody seems to notice What do you need me to say to you? That you're better than this? You're not better than this. Only fifteen minutes, a quarter to the hour It's not pessimistic, there's no liquid at all The glass is made to shatter the second it falls.

What do you need me to prove to you? I said what I meant but didn't mean what I said The truth is my words escape me in eruptions They're forced back down and they burn my throat My heart frays my vocal chords The ceilings collapse, but the doors slam closed So nobody seems to notice What do you need me to say to you? That you're better than this? You're not better than this. Only fifteen minutes, a quarter to the hour It's not pessimistic, there's no liquid at all The glass is made to shatter the second it falls.
