lyrics

Shaking, fleeing responsibility
Like children being alone in the world
Moments fleeting across our attention like kindness, kindness
I love you but I don’t love myself
Nothing is broken, everything’s fine

Can’t escape the sensation of prickling electrodes in our spines
Shocking down to the toes and out into the grounded sea
I’m so tired, we’re sad and we’ll maybe be ok

Last night I met the straightest girls I ever knew
An overwhelming ruler and to them this is normal
My friend showed them his nipple ring and then watched them quietly freak out
Flailing desperately to save face
They ordered another beer

Nothing is broken everything works but nothing is normal
I just want to be alone
We all need and consume together
While watching the world go away

All things break apart but we can force HIM over a cliff of his own deceit
Love is just a greeting and a kindness
Why can’t he see it
Why can’t he see
His damage
The potential he wastes?

He’ll wipe the fucking world away
But someone is left with this language

I’m so afraid
We’re all gonna fucking die someday
Nothing is normal, does it even matter?
No room for pride here
Pride is unkind
And I can’t fucking escape
