John Ralston Fragile Lyrics

Fragile Lyrics

When you say medicine, I take your pseudonym

I know your accidents, you made them happen

Open flower, your darkest hour

Okinawa, your pain is power



Yesterday I was irrelevant

Now you're not sure if I'm not innocent

Block it out like clouds and the sun

I was forgotten but not forgiven



We're so fragile, we're so calm

We are innocent of what went wrong

Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs

Baby birds are weak and dumb



If you open up her letter

Will it make you feel better?

Bite all your fingernails off

When you hear her, her cancer cough



We're so fragile, we're so calm

We are innocent of what went wrong

Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs

Baby birds are weak and dumb



We're so fragile, we're so calm

We are innocent of what went wrong

Still, dead air in the pinwheel lungs

Baby birds are weak and dumb
