lyrics

I know I've fooled myself before
But this got too loud to ignore
That ghost won't haunt me anymore
But I've got feelings still to flatten
I tell myself I'm doing fine
That I'm not running out of time
That I can leave if I'm inclined
And if I'm sinking, I can't feel it

I fell in-
to an anxiety trap
Had to climb out on my own
With no bodies in my entourage
All we've got
These vessels in which we reside
These things we didn't ask for
Oh, these bodies that keep us on the earth

I'd never deign to
Engender
The mess that it makes
To leave it behind
I'd rather wait 'til
It expires
And hope when it does
That I'm done, too

All we can do
Is make the best of these forms
These shapes that we've been assigned
Will define how we're to be perceived
Anxieties
Will make our beauty marks
And we'll try hard to stay proud
Though no bodies can ever truly explain

I'd never deign to...

Your angles crush me through the floor
Now I'm just blood and guts and gore
I'll need two days, or three, or four
To rearrange my vital organs
