Graves lyrics

[dearestapollo]

Rapunzel

There’s 100,000 miles of nerve fibre in the brain
More synapses than atoms in this world are contained
In your head lie cords and cables full of memories you gain
Full of life and love and knowledge, but mostly just the pain

I thought I could climb you like a sci-fi Rapunzel
I thought I could scale the contents of your soul
I thought I could ascend through the secrets of your head
I found I’m better off, dear, better off here, alone instead

Sci-fi Rapunzel, I love you
Won’t you please let down your hair…for me

There’s 100,000 memories engraved
Upon these panes of slate
And all of them are records of the tasteless exploits of one girl’s disdain
I thought I saw you there
I thought I saw you bare, naked for all the world to see

I thought I could climb you
I wanted to climb you
I wished I could climb you

I thought I could climb you like a sci-fi Rapunzel
I thought I could scale the contents of your soul
I thought I could ascend through the secrets of your head
I found I’m better off, dear, better off here, as good as dead

Sci-fi Rapunzel, I love you
Won’t you please let down your hair…for me

I miss you; I love you. I hate you for the things you’ve done
I want you to come home to me. I miss you, I’m begging please
I want you oh I want you so bad
And I love you
Oh I need you so bad

I thought I could climb you like a sci-fi Rapunzel
I thought I could scale the contents of your soul
I thought I could ascend through the secrets of your head
I found I’m better off, dear, better off here, alone instead
