letra de bigger on the inside - amanda palmer
[intro]
one, two, three, four
[verse 1]
you’d think i’d shot their children
from the way that they are talking
and there’s no point in responding
’cause it will not make them stop
[verse 2]
and i am tired of explaining
and of seeing so much hating
in the very same safe haven
where i used to just see helping
[verse 3]
i’ve been drunk and skipping dinner
eating skin from off my fingers
and i tried to call my brother
but he no longer exists
[verse 4]
i keep forgetting to remember
that he would have been much prouder
if he saw me shake these insults off
instead of getting bitter
[chorus]
i am bigger on the inside
but you have to come inside to see me
otherwise you’re only hating
other people’s low-res copies
[verse 5]
you’d think i’d learn my lesson
from the way they keep on testing
my capacity for pain
and my resolve to not get violent
[verse 6]
but though my skin is thickened
certain spots can still be gotten
it is typically human of me
thinking i am different
[verse 7]
to friends hooked up to hospital machines
to fix their cancer
and there is no better place than from this
waiting room to answer
[verse 8]
the french kid who sent an email
to the website late last night
his father raped him and he’s scared
he asked me, “how do you keep fighting?”
[verse 9]
and the truth is i don’t know
i think it’s funny that he asked me
’cause i don’t feel like a fighter lately
i am too unhappy
[chorus]
you are bigger on the inside
but your father cannot see
you need to tell someone, be strong
and somewhere some dumb rock star truly loves you
[verse 10]
you’d think i’d get perspective
from my view here by the bedside
it is difficult to see the ones i love
so close to death
[verse 11]
all their infections and prescriptions
and the will to live at all in question
can i not accept that my own problems
are so small?
[verse 12]
you took my hand when you woke up
i had been crying in the darkness
we all die alone but i am so, so glad
that you are here, you whispered:
[chorus]
“we are so much bigger on the inside
you, me, everybody
some day when you’re lying where i am
you’ll finally get it, beauty
we are so much bigger
than another one can ever see, but
trying is the point of life
so don’t stop trying
promise me.”
