Sylvia lyrics

Please, curtains in, start us off

You swing first, sorry

I don't know what I said

But you're crying now again

And that only makes it worse

Let me do my job

Let me do my job

Sylvia, get your head out of the oven

Go back to screaming and cursing

Remind me again how everyone betrayed you

Sylvia, get your head out of the covers

Let me take your temperature

You can throw the thermometer right back at me

If that's what you want to do, okay?

Please, please calm down

Steady out, I'm terrified

Sorry, I want us to ally

But you swing on little knives

They're only sharp on one side

Let me do my job

Let me do my job

Sylvia, get your head out of the oven

Go back to screaming and cursing

Remind me again how everyone betrayed you

Sylvia, get your head out of the covers

Let me take your temperature

You can throw the thermometer right back at me

If that's what you want to do, okay?

Sylvia, can't you see what you are doing?

Can't you see I'm scared to speak

And I hate my voice because it only makes you angry

Sylvia, I only talk when you are sleeping

That's when I tell you everything

And I imagine that somehow you're going to hear me
