lyrics

I'm a lonely mess
I set out to make anger
but only carved this generic whimper
on cinder walls
I read your eyes
while I was speaking in riddles
while my vision was yellow and green
and not mine at all

and in retrospect I love to lose
a squirrely puft on an end
no choice to choose
I bite through my tongue
and I steal your words
they were never mine
but now they're neither yours

I'm a music box
without a handle
just a general shape
for you to lose interest in
I'm a boring god
demanding fucking treason
kill me quickly
and without reason

descending staircases, I'm draped
in piss soaked sheets a vigilantes cape
I ignored the heist and watched dozens die
from the safety of shadow I pretended to try
you move to leave and I exit first
I'm paranoid and well rehearsed
I'm theater, a 24 year show
I bleed the same as everyone you know
this constitution begets remorse
the winter came and put down the horse
hands to throat, they frostbit our skin
as the threat of safety showed its head again
the closet door came off the wall
I moved with feet half a foot too small
leapt from the window, expansive loss
as I bled to death over forget me nots

I don't want time to slow down
I don't need anchorage or medicine
I just need the pain I feel every waking second
to feel validated by at least a perceived meaning
