I’ve got nothing better to say
Not that this is the only way
To let you know what I’m thinking
Lest you feel that I’m a freak
Because it’s not that I am afraid
Because I know that I am a freak
I just wish you could see me other than
What I just told you about me
About me
About me
About me
About me
This is not a song for excuses
Nor is this the only way
Could be a little less tired
I just can’t feel otherwise
You call it debilitating
I’m just figuring what works best
This is not just a condition
I’m pretty sure this is my life

I’ve been having fights in my head
Notions that I might have misread
Something difficult to swallow
Might be better off in my bed
Let the sirens slowly seep in
Take it further away from this mess
It’ll be a cold day in hell at best
I won’t hold if there’s nothing left
It has been all night
It’s never okay
Amass the cliches and there I’ve said it
I can’t be alright
I’m never okay
I’m not even supposed to be here today
I’ve got something I know you don’t
A codec installed in my brain
Delineating all the bullshit from the absurd
Exposing transparently
It’s harder to try not to see
Like a horror movie, the gap between your eyes
I’ve woken up and now I just want to go back to bed
The noise just keeps on going in my head
In my head it goes

What do you know
You can’t see this world
It’s a gentle feeling
I can’t wait for it
I cannot show you my deepest feelings
It’s a secret
I can’t wait for it

I’ve never yet to ask how you’re feeling
I’m feeling fine but that’s not how you see it
That’s not right so why do you believe it
All the signs point to how you’re mistreated
Dear oh dear oh why can’t you see it
Like when you told yourself you were conceited
Dear oh dear oh why can’t you see it
The burden of this clumpy old pearl elephant
That’s not right so why do you believe it
We’ll just ride until you finally see it
Pearl elephant

Running through necessities
I want to sleep through anything
Crossing swords in my mind
I don’t mind if you don’t
Waiting for the time to pass
Into dawn I will sleep at last
I’ve been waiting so much
Is all this still worthwhile
Looking in the dark till I can see it
Hiding myself in a place that I won’t find
Pushing it all away
To myself I will say
Maybe this is just a dream and I’m asleep
But I can’t wake me up (wake me up inside)
I will try
I will push
I will do something
Convincing myself that this isn’t it
I have tried
I have pushed
I have done nothing
I just think that I can’t know shit like this
Looking in the dark
Claustrophobic remarks
“You can look but we have went through it, nothing came out and nothing will”
A kind of makeshift bulwark
Maybe now this will work to the favour of the tunes that I sing
It cuts it’s deep it’s too
I’m calm
I’m done
