Bigger On The Inside – Amanda Palmer (feat. Zoe Keating)By You’d think I’d shot their childrenFrom the way that they are talkingAnd there’s no point in respondingCause it will not make them stopAnd I am tired of explainingAnd of seeing so much hatingIn the very same safe havenWhere I used to just see helpingI’ve been drunk and skipping dinnerEating skin from off my fingersAnd I tried to call my brotherBut he no longer existsI keep forgetting to rememberThat he would have been much prouderIf he saw me shake these insults offInstead of getting bitter….I am bigger on the insideBut you have to come inside to see meOtherwise you’re only hatingOther people’s low-res copiesYou’d think I’d learn my lessonFrom the way they keep on testingMy capacity for painAnd my resolve to not get violentBut though my skin is thickenedCertain spots can still be gottenIt is typically human of meThinking I am differentTo friends hooked up to hospital machinesTo fix their cancerAnd there is no better place than from thisWaiting room to answerThe French kid who wrote an e-mailTo the website late last nightHis father raped him and he’s scaredHe asked meHow do you keep fighting?And the truth is I don’t knowI think it’s funny that he asked meCause I don’t feel like a fighter latelyI am too unhappyYou are bigger on the insideBut your father cannot seeYou need to tell someonebe strongAnd somewhere some dumb rock star truly loves youYou’d think I’d get perspectiveFrom my view here by the bedsideIt is difficult to see the ones I loveSo close to deathAll their infections and prescriptionsAnd the will to live at all in questionCan I not accept that my own problemsAre so smallYou took my hand when you woke upI had been crying in the darknessWe all die alone but I am so, so gladThat you are hereYou whispered:“We are so much bigger on the inside,You, me, everybodySome day when you’re lying where I amYou’ll finally get it, beautyWe are so much biggerThan another one can ever seeButTrying is the point of lifeSo don’t stop tryingPromise me.” www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
