lyrics

Emily's her name, she keeps her windows open wide
So anyone can stick their hands in there
I ask her why, she says she likes the company
of boys and birds and wild hair

She stares at her feet and cries through her mouth
She's looking for something
that'll make her feel like she's not dead
But there she goes, drinking again
Never learning how to be with herself

And she walks through me
She walks through me
Looking for a wall, for a wall
To stop her

We're out late in her car
She runs three red lights
But then she says she's just colorblind
The windows are down, cold breathes in her lungs
She's silent as hell as "Isis" plays on the radio

And she walks through me
She walks through me
Looking for a wall, for a wall
To stop her
