Watertight

Beneath the skin mechanical a little beast is stirring
Scratching at the metal walls
Scratching with organic claws
Underneath the shining shield all the gears are whirring
Spasms and uncertain jerks
Something's gotten in the works
I went out in perfect mask but now the cracks are showing
I am safe here
All my friends are near - watching
And everybody knows, and everyone can see
What's tearing away at me

I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong and I can't be polite
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight

You were my love, my lover, so close
Born into the bone
And we could walk the world together, darling,
and it felt like being alone
Somewhere deep inside of me all I know is changing
Handprints and traces
In these quiet spaces
Underneath the skin, shifting, rearranging
You are inside me

I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong and I can't be polite
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight
I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong, no, not tonight
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight

I'll let you go
I'll do what's right
I haven't believed it 'til tonight
