I can sew you in, cuz I’ve been taught
Just how to pull it off
I can sew you in, so that you don’t know
Just when I pulled it off
At the end, you’ll have felt the beat
And forgotten everything I’ve said
Cuz I’ll say nothing in this really
That you’re supposed to comprehend
Just feel the beat, it’ll do for now
Cuz that’s how you get in
I’ve been trained you see, and you get the joy of this fire
That the trained one can never feel
Best to be you, don’t read too deep
That’s not what’s here, it’s not the real deal
Just a needle and thread and a bit of fine cloth
Stop thinking
...you’re thinking that you are the cloth
Stop thinking, stop thinking,
…here let me help
I can sew you in, cuz I’ve been taught
Just how to pull it off
I can sew you in, so that you don’t know
Just when I pulled it off
Did you see, did you see
How you fell through the flame
And got stuck in the wick with me?
Did you come backwards and down?
How long can you handle it here?
How much do you want to be trained?
Can you sew others in, by singing this tune?
Can you write one just like it in both April and June?
Can you be a wick, and resist being a flame?
Do you not yet know
That that’s the cost?
Stop the rhymes
Then start ‘em again
Say nothing, yet sew
Yourself into it all
Can you, do you, will you?
Are you a wick, or a man?
I’m all over the place
This cloth has no definite shape
But it’ll have one at the end
Will you be in it
See it from without
Or be poking through it like a needle?
Can you get yourself out
Of the stitches I’ve sewn
Through the borders of your flesh
I’ve stitched you in so that you can choose
To be trapped in the candle, rooted and stuck
Or free yourself, free yourself
Oh, you want to be free and fire
I can sew you in, cuz I’ve been taught
Just how to pull it off
I can sew you in, so that you don’t know
Just when I pulled it off
I can sew you in, I can sew you in
You do not want to stay there
I can sew you in, I can sew you in
So, stay there if you dare
I can sew you in, I can sew you in
Rip your flesh to flee
I can sew you in, I can sew you in
If not, then you I’ll be
