fundamentally a skeleton for something else's secrets
artificially intelligent enough to find the reset
I cant find the password
to get into the real world
I feel cold and useless
don't wanna be a nuisance
I wish nobody knew my name I wish that I could run away from this
I wish that I was something bigger than my body and my fingerprints
I wanna do the right thing
who even knows what that means
can you see the simulation?
im just making conversation
and if the world's a little brighter than it tells me so
I guess ill open a window

Tempest in a Teacup
03:50
|

when I close my eyes
I can never seem to find
any kind of peace of mind
I try but I'm laying wide awake
when I close my eyes
somehow I still see the sky
even when my hands are tied
I wear this disguise like a ball and chain
soul sucker, motherfucker got a big girl problem
mind reader, big believer in conspiracy
what's the issue, bitch needs a tissue
'fore she tries to leave a game thats endless
I got a tempest in a teacup for a brain
when I close my eyes
people never leave my mind
even when theyre in my sightline
I never find them, it's never safe
when I close my eyes
nothings ever still or silent
when im feeling wild and violent
its never mine, its my stupid brain
soul sucker, motherfucker got a big girl problem
mind reader, big believer in conspiracy
what's the issue, bitch needs a tissue
'fore she tries to leave a game thats endless
I got a tempest in a teacup for a brain
nobody wants to not know whats real
its a big deal
its the one thing you cant control
call me when you cant feel
reality in the world you see around you
but the thing I believe will always astound you
soul sucker, motherfucker got a big girl problem
mind reader, big believer in conspiracy
whats the issue, bitch needs a tissue
'fore she tries to leave a game thats endless
I got a tempest in a teacup for a brain x2

Someone Else's Shoes
03:27

there is a path I walk
and I told myself I know myself enough
to get lost
and still find my way back home
ill toughen up
face the consequence head on
god knows id give a whole lot more for somewhere I belong
I talk to the moon
I told her im in someone elses bed
this is someone elses room
im too tired for conversation
But too desperate to refuse
I dont wanna keep on living here in someone elses shoes
the more that I walk this way
the more I realise that I despise the way
that ive changed
its a cold unwelcome feeling to be brave
in the face
of the cold unwanted traces of decay
from the tips of my toes
to the top of my brain

Tall Tales
03:48
|
|||
|
you got what you wanted, what you wanted was a complication
and every second spent thinking about you is a second wasted
oh my god, I cant believe it
how you write me off with silent treatment
making you see sense is like talking to the dead on a telephone
you tell tall tales
but you keep the truth in your mouth
you were always so sweet til the truth came out
keep your selfish head
and ill tell myself that maybe its all for the best
you just want a reason to believe in something but yourself
i dont wanna be a pretty thing youre knocking off the shelf
oh my god, youre such a hypocrite
you twist my words and get away with it
when i do something wrong its like looking at the sun through a telescope
you tell tall tales
but you keep the truth in your mouth
you were always so sweet til the truth came out
keep your selfish head
and ill tell myself that maybe its all for the best x3

takin it way too long
takin it way too far
i wanna be someone
i wanna be a star
takin the bus down town
takin the long way round
i wanna live in shadows
i never wanna be found
i i i dont want to see
somebody out theres after me
i i i wish i could say
im someone else today
write it down, dont forget it
this is life empty-headed
we're all friends in the light
me myself and i
makin myself look good
makin a healthy choice
im gonna sing for pennies
im gonna lose my voice
makin myself look bad
makin myself a mask
im living undercover baby
im just a girl charade
i i i dont want to see
somebodys close to catching me
i i i wish i could say
that i wish i could stay
write it down, dont forget it
this is life empty-headed
we're all friends in the light
me myself and i
sucker for any feeling
this is life south of healing
and i never get to know them even though i try
me myself and i

voice breaking, risk taking you
im aching, im breaking too
and you know me, you know me, you know me, you know me so well
and you know that I, know that I, know that ill never tell
mind reading, non speaking me
youre hearing, youre breaking free
and I know that you know that I know every little thing
and youre telling me telling me now that ill never win
empty headed
what she dreaded
stockholm syndrome
lockdown, nobodys home
vacant for ya
paranoia
vessel waiting

when will the earth shatter shatter around me?
I dont know how they did but they found me
and if I grow to be old I told you so
And if I never let this go, let me go
who gives a damn, girl
go bring a hammer to the end of the world
go make a scene girl, ill make it worth your while
make sure theres no mistaking you for someone else
we're on the edge and nothing matters
when will the earth shatter shatter
when will I learn you get nowhere from hiding?
are other worlds waiting for me to find them?
and if I never wake up shake my shoulder hard enough to wake the dead
ill never fall asleep again
who gives a damn, girl
go bring a hammer to the end of the world
go make a scene girl, ill make it worth your while
make sure theres no mistaking you for someone else
we're on the edge and nothing matters
when will the earth shatter shatter
when will the earth shatter shatter x4
shatter shatter
they say dont bring a knife to a gunfight
but im cutting ties with the bad side
and even if im making light of my own life
you wont ruin me too
who gives a damn, girl
go bring a hammer to the end of the world
go make a scene girl, ill make it worth your while
make sure theres no mistaking you for someone else
we're on the edge and nothing matters
when will the earth shatter shatter x2

im in a hurry
the world needs to hurry up
my eyes are blurry but
the world is blurrier and i
dont wanna be part of
this thing ive started

just wasted all my time and
make room for tasteless
im tasteless by design but
and i hope that i get better and see
the earth go back together and make some room for me
