The Antlers - Sylvia (live) lyrics

Please, curtains in Start us off, you swing first Sorry, I don't know what I said But you're crying now again And that only makes it worse Let me do my job Let me do my job Sylvia, get your head out of the oven Go back to screaming, and cursing Remind me again how everyone betrayed you Sylvia, get your head out of the covers Let me take your temperature You can throw the thermometer right back at me If that's what you want to do, okay? Please, please calm down Steady out, I'm terrified Sorry, I want us to ally But you swing on little knives They're only sharp on one side Let me do my job Let me do my job Sylvia, get your head out of the oven Go back to screaming, and cursing Remind me again how everyone betrayed you Sylvia, get your head out of the covers Let me take your temperature You can throw the thermometer right back at me If that's what you want to do, okay? Sylvia, can't you see what you are doing? Can't you see I'm scared to speak, and I hate my voice 'Cause it only makes you angry Sylvia, I only talk when you are sleeping That's when I tell you everything And I imagine that somehow you're going to hear me
