Basic Space

Oliver Sim

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 nothin'
There

I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece before I'm alone
Airtight 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 nothin'
There

Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd 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
