The Jail That Sets You Free - Asaf Avidan

Lately I’ve been picking at the fossil in my throat

It’s hard to stare into the ocean

And to try to stay afloat

Now don’t upset yourself due to the changing of my mood

I’m hard to please sometimes

I’m hard to please sometimes

I’m on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul

Although my feet are still connected

They are out of my control

Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf

I’m hard to understand sometimes

I’m hard to understand sometimes

Honey come with me It’s just you and me Baby believe it’s

As simple as can be I will be the jail that sets you free

I will be the jail that sets you free

I’m shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind

It’s hard to look there for a future

When I left it all behind

Please don’t condescend and say you’ve heard this one before

I’m hard to please sometimes

I’m hard to please sometimes

And while you’re offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee

I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory

Please don’t try to cure me with on rectifying glance

I’m hard to understand sometimes

I’m hard to understand sometimes

Honey come with me It’s just you and me Baby believe it’s

As simple as can be I will be the jail that sets you free

I will be the jail that sets you free

I’m hard to please sometimes

I’m hard to please sometimes

I will be the jail that makes you

I will be the jail that breaks you

I will be the jail that sets you free
