Still talking
Hey, are we still talking?
Cause I don't wanna lose a hint of this connection
Consider this my confession if you want
Still feeling
I still got that feeling
Well, I don't wanna sound like some hopeless romantic
And I don't wanna get pedantic
I just am
Is this some kinda punishment?
Did I inflict this on myself?
Cause I feel this feeling up and down and all around
It keeps insisting on itself
I can't escape it
Whoa, I can't escape you
Remember
Yeah, I still remember
When we first met in person two months before September
Or five before December
It's a blur
Recall
Yeah, I still recall
Way too many nights spent past midnight on a call
Laughing until we both bawled our eyes out
Is this some kinda punishment?
Did I inflict this on myself?
Cause I feel this feeling up and down and all around
It keeps insisting on itself
I can't escape it
Whoa, I can't escape you
I wouldn't give my time spent with you for the world
I wouldn't give my time spent with you for the world
I wouldn't give my time spent with you for the world
No, all the time that I've spent with you is the best in the world
Is this some kinda punishment?
Did I inflict this on myself?
Cause I feel this feeling up and down and all around
It keeps insisting on itself
I can't escape it
Whoa, I can't escape you
Is this some kinda punishment?
Did I inflict this on myself?
Cause I feel this feeling up and down and all around
It keeps insisting on itself
I can't escape it
No, I can't escape it
But I don't wanna escape you

Nail polish is chipped
Makeup is running in the water and my
My towel is ripped
I guess I'm not sure if this is what I wanted cause I
Still feel their eyes
Trace the shape of my form and my body, well I
Don't wanna deny
Sometimes they look at me and I feel like a squatter and I
Don't belong
Guess I'll just write another song
No, I don't belong
Guess I'll just wring my neck
I'll wring my neck
New school, old town
Colors are different, but the rumors never change, and when
You know you're found
You thought you'd progressed, but you're really on page one again
Same throat, new sound
Empty soliloquies unlike you've ever heard before
So when I'm down
I take my solace in remembering the fact that I
Don't belong
Guess I'll just write another song
No, I don't belong
Guess I'll just wring my neck
I'll wring my neck
Nail polish is chipped
Makeup is running in the water and my
My towel is ripped
I guess I'm not sure if this is what I wanted cause I
Still feel their eyes
Trace the shape of my form and my body, well I
Don't wanna deny
Sometimes they look at me and I feel like a squatter and I
Don't belong
Guess I'll just write another song
No, I don't belong
Guess I'll just wring my neck
I'll wring my neck
Don't belong
Guess I'll just write another song
No, I don't belong
Guess I'll just wring my neck
I'll wring my neck

Dreamcatcher
On my windowsill
No nightmares
Think I've had my fill
Light traces
Shapes on windowpanes
I'm dreaming
Still don't know your name
No mem'ry
Just like grandmama
I'm standing
How'd I get this tall?
Light traces
Shapes on windowpanes
Still dreaming
Wish I knew your name
I just wanna escape
Pretend I'm in better place
Maybe that's why I'm so sentimental
While I sit here with you
Both got nothing to prove
Maybe that's what makes this fundamental
I've been writing these songs
Think they go on to long
Wish that I could write more instrumental
While I sit here with you
I got nothing to prove
Yet I still feel I'm so detrimental
Dreamcatcher
On my windowsill
No nightmares
Think I've had my fill
Light traces
Shapes on windowpanes
I'm dreaming
Still don't know your name
No mem'ry
Just like grandmama
I'm standing
How'd I get this tall?
Light traces

All moments are lost, time bleeds in on itself
The nights are like flies and I'm stuck on the shelf
I soak in the rot, suck and sink into hell
Don't look in my eye, all you'll see is myself
I can't quite comprehend your constant contradiction
And empty vases bring to mind my old and new conditions
Am I the same person who made all of those bad decisions
Or have I grown enough to dodge all these head on collisions?
Sunset settles under the next overpass
I wonder how much longer it can last
The marble machine speaks in delicate tones
It asks for my love when it just wants my bones
"I'm wearing it down," I say secure from my home
But it's still around while I'm sleeping alone
I can't quite comprehend your constant contradiction
And empty vases bring to mind my old and new conditions
Am I the same person who made all of those bad decisions
Or have I grown enough to dodge all these head on collisions?
Sunset settles under the next overpass
I wonder how much longer it can last
I've been dreaming of a
Place that's tropical
Don't care 'bout anatomicals
It isn't all that topical
So we can get away
To somewhere tropical
Don't care 'bout anatomicals
It isn't all that topical
So we can get away
To somewhere tropical
Don't care 'bout anatomicals
It isn't all that topical
So we can get away
To somewhere tropical
Don't care 'bout anatomicals
It isn't all that topical
But that was just a dream

I fear the four walls of this car
Visible to you, but not by far
You leer at me through looking glass
I pray, in this moment, I pass
Reciting mantras in my head
Can't count the siblings who are dead
And so I'm locked inside this car
Schrodinger's genie in a jar
If I don't make it home, just know that I will always love you
If I don't make it home, just know that I have always loved you
If I don't make it home, just know that I will always love you
If I don't make it home, just know that I have always loved you
I fear detection more than all
Avoid inspection, ignore the call
Under my skin, I meet with you
Watch as our skin is fading blue
Roses entwined along my path
Watch them recoil as I pass
Some rose claim that I have lied
Approach with thorns until I've died
If I don't make it home, just know that I will always love you
If I don't make it home, just know that I have always loved you
If I don't make it home, just know that I will always love you
If I don't make it home, just know that I have always loved you
If I don't make it home, just know that I will always love you
If I don't make it home, just know that I have always loved you
