Lyrics
When I fall, I'll aim my feet at you
Expressing a commitment to fall with intention, directing oneself towards someone.
Aim my knees, floating through breeze
Committing to vulnerability and openness, navigating through challenges.
Too dumb to follow a moving target

Still, damn my needs, too meek to follow them
Acknowledging personal weaknesses, expressing reluctance to pursue desires.
Have already touched it

It builds the bone

Although I'll never need it

It fills in the hole I know

Darkness falls and I'm cruising creek again

With a hollow head, a hollow head to boot

May I be thrown into the throes of toil

Let my fall, let my fall on you

Tame my feet, I'll rope my knees round you

It ain't my fault, no, it ain't my fault, oh, no

All is nothing
