Basic Space lyrics

Neck, chest, waist to floor

Easy to take, you could take me in fours

Make me a deal, a day a piece

Take it all, just stay a week

I'll take you in pieces, we can take it all apart

I've suffered shipwrecks, right from the start

I've been underwater, breathing out and in

I think I'm losing where you end and I begin

Basic space, open air

Don't look away

When there's nothing there

I'm setting us in stone

Piece by piece before I'm alone

Air tight before we break

Keep it in, keep us safe

It's a pool of boiling wax

I'm getting in, let it set, got to seal this in

Can't adjust, can't relearn

Got to keep what I have preserve

Basic space, open air

Don't look away

When there's nothing there

Hot wax has left me with a shine

Wouldn't know if I've been left behind

Second skin, second skin

I can't let it out, I still let you in

I can't let it out, I still let you in
