lyrics

swallow it, follow it with something sugary
with something mostly false
can i admit, i mean
is it safe here to admit
that none of this
is really doing it for me

And now i can't imagine the conditions under which
i allow myself to feel more than halfway content
i prefer sirens to silence
i prefer violence to kindess
please nevermind this mindlessness
i'm just making my mind mine again

sprinting up the sidewalk there's no reason but i start to sing
i will be an awful father
i will not deserve my daughter
someone else can make her happy
someone other than me
someone who can sell her drugs
and show her how to sleep
someone who while doing dishes for no reason will sing
i will be an awful father i may even just leave

nobody can understand
so everyone should understand each other
at least in theory one would think
nobody's greater than
except myself and myself's friends
we're all we really need to know there's no such thing as me.
there's no such thing as me
there's no good until you start to look
