Michaelson, Ingrid - Porcelain Fists Lyrics






"Follow your heart", he said,
"Your heart will take you there."
"Swallow your pride", he said,
"For pride is anything but rare."
So I walked into your eyes without a raincoat on
And in the salty sea, I find you're all but gone.

Take my hand, you're treading water
I feel I am slipping away from underneath my toes
Nobody knows
Where is it she goes

Looked in the bathroom stall
Your back against the wall.
Cold tiles beneath your knees,
Your body broke your fall.
Spitting into your own reflection gazing back
Inside your porcelain fists, your palms begin to crack.

So take my hand, you're treading water
And I feel sand slipping underneath my toes
Nobody knows
Where is it she goes
When those sad eyes start to close
Nobody knows
Where is it she goes
When those sad eyes close

    It's supposed to represent fragility.

  15. Z.... ....

    i love this song. i love ingrid michaelson, i mean no one can write songs like her

  16. T.... J....

    Second verse always gets me. My friend was showing signs of bulimia about a year ago, and once I'd all but caught her. She managed to make up an unconvincing lie, and I wanted so badly to believe it, I pretended to. Around the same time, I was self-mutilating. Coincidentally, one of my favourite spots to cut were the palms of my hands (there's easy excuses: I fell, I broke a dish at work and had to clean it up, I was climbing a tree.) She never asked but she knew. I knew. We barely said a word.

  17. S.... N....

    best song ever

  18. S.... M....

    I love you soo much kk. I miss you beyond words. The puppy and I are just sitting here lost without you. Please come home.

  19. M.... C....

    Bottom line: It's fragile.

  20. S.... s....

    this song is amazing! inspiring in a way actually! i absolutely love it. <3

  21. J.... H....

    @StoneFireAndWind : I Know, I am such a hypocrite, I always go on about it, and this is proof that I do it myself :/ I also screwed up on the final chorus too :'(

  22. c.... c....

    @oThatkido and it's really fragile

  23. G.... M....

    @oThatkido An important thing about porcelain is that it is brittle - it breaks easily .

  24. G.... M....

    Thanks so much for posting this! There is a typo in the chorus line, though. Where it says "your" it should say "you're" as in "you are". That's also true of the "in the salty sea", that should also be "you're". Thanks!

  25. p.... j....

    @TheSanctuarian ah, thanks

  26. J.... H....

    @oThatkido It's a type of ceramic material - used mainly to make tiles, vases and plates. its made by heating clay.

  30. J.... P....

    This song is now forever engraved into my memory because of how many times I've listened to it. I LOVE the second verse, especially where she says "Spitting into your own reflection gazing back." <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  31. J.... H....
