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
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.
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

Michaelson, Ingrid Porcelain Fists Comments
AWESOME.
You're*
Eating disorders suck. I still have mine sadly. Sigh.
Hayley. I wish you were here. I wish we could have given you the love you deserved to fill that void you felt. I love you, my lil Abby. I will do my best to live up to what you thought I was.
Must of been a hard visit for you.T. Love, the song.
Thinking of you most everyday,but your memories are slipping away from me.
L.L.A.G.B,jj 💔
I really wish this was officially released. :( Please, Ingrid?
this is so deep.
Does anyone know if this is still sold??
oh im sorry i didnt see the a. i thought your comment just said about bulimic and yeah. sorry.
you mean bulimia...?
I talking about the toilet (which is porcelain) that the girl holds onto (hands are fists) to throw up into..
Oh my God, this is beautiful. Beyond words
It's supposed to represent fragility.
i love this song. i love ingrid michaelson, i mean no one can write songs like her
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.
best song ever
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.
Bottom line: It's fragile.
this song is amazing! inspiring in a way actually! i absolutely love it. <3
@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 :'(
@oThatkido and it's really fragile
@oThatkido An important thing about porcelain is that it is brittle - it breaks easily .
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!
@TheSanctuarian ah, thanks
@oThatkido It's a type of ceramic material - used mainly to make tiles, vases and plates. its made by heating clay.
whats porcilain? please someone tell me?
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
I have waitng for lyrics for this for a loong time!! :D
<3 <3 <3
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
@DiNoRaWr60 No Problem :) if you have any requests, Im debating what song to do next.
