There
Must be a line between
Functional poetry and self flagellation
With a beat and a melody
These songs I've been writing
Are ever increasingly lists
Of my vices and fears
I tell myself that it's art "because honesty"
But honestly honesty hasn't been good to me
Lies and adrenaline are natural medicines
I'll take a nap while they steer
Like a shitty MacGyver I improvise problems
With everyday objects
Here's one I build out of milk jugs and matchsticks
So even when I'm in a twist about nothing
I still got the comfort of sucking at something
Now I still apologise
Mostly on reflex
Shut down your feelings
Wallow in disconnect
But it's not my fault
It's just one of the side effects
It's gonna be like this for weeks
Oh, and this
Is just what I need
It's just what I need
When do the symptoms begin to recede
It's just what I need
It's just what I need
I feel the heat of your head on my cheek
Maybe together
We might be better
More than the sum of what makes us
But we
Before you arrive
And I let you inside
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
When my shit gets old honey promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
Must be a line between
Functional poetry and self flagellation
With a beat and a melody
These songs I've been writing
Are ever increasingly lists
Of my vices and fears
I tell myself that it's art "because honesty"
But honestly honesty hasn't been good to me
Lies and adrenaline are natural medicines
I'll take a nap while they steer
Like a shitty MacGyver I improvise problems
With everyday objects
Here's one I build out of milk jugs and matchsticks
So even when I'm in a twist about nothing
I still got the comfort of sucking at something
Now I still apologise
Mostly on reflex
Shut down your feelings
Wallow in disconnect
But it's not my fault
It's just one of the side effects
It's gonna be like this for weeks
Oh, and this
Is just what I need
It's just what I need
When do the symptoms begin to recede
It's just what I need
It's just what I need
I feel the heat of your head on my cheek
Maybe together
We might be better
More than the sum of what makes us
But we
Before you arrive
And I let you inside
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
When my shit gets old honey promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
Promise you'll leave
