lyrics:
is it the passive aggressive
static tv in front of me
thought i’d already passed the thought
but my red knuckles show differently
and please, don’t move to fast
i’m a scaredy cat
and your words feel like knives in my chest
or better yet the lack of
you tried to give me a puzzle to fix
but it’s a ziplock bag full of pocket lint and crushed up chips and
buttons too, i was sewn to you
i wanted to
sleep next to you
you’re pulling back, pushing away
this is looking like 2016
before i learned i take up space
whether i want to or not
my stomach rots with all the words i chewed up
i tried to swallow but i choked
and threw it all up
i’m begging for answers again
asking you to pay rent
cuz you’re still
running around in my head and
i thought you were so cool
but god i wish you fell too
cuz i’m nauseated with the thought
of you settling down with not enough
give me your strings pinocchio
I’ll be your man, just let me know
i wouldn’t have to feel like such a chore or a show
i’ll play it down, i’m nonchalant
give me a chance to meet your mom
i bet she’d like me if she saw
how much i loved her spawn
but
whether i want to or not
my stomach rots with all the words i chewed up
i tried to swallow but i choked
and threw it all up
did you have to
play the only prank you knew would hurt me?
I bet you’re happy
sleeping with anything that can’t say no, just like me
I feel sorry
for anyone else who has to hold your burdens too
and I wish you weren’t so mean
this evil face isn’t who I loved anyways
whether I want to or not my stomach rots with all the words I chewed up
I tried to swallow but I choked
You saw me coughing up blood
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
