lyrics

The last time he got fired, he spent nearly 6 months away
Didn't sleep much at night but he slept almost every day
One afternoon in his sleep, he saw an invisible tray
Filled with fish eyes and cacti spilling off of empty plates

In eggshells

When he was back on his feet, he went for a walk in his shroud
Needed to let it air out or it would look unseasonably loud
Walked to his old job and planted himself outside
Whistling "when I can tie my shoelaces, maybe I'll learn how to drive"

In eggshells

Now he lives by the ocean in a house that shakes in the wind
When it's cold, he pours hot water on his bed and tucks in
Last night in his sleep, he saw an unreachable tray
Slowly pushed on a gurney somewhere far too far away

In eggshells
