lyrics

the past several months
i don't notice my body
without wishing you'd trade me
i've let this one get so skinny

but I'm confident i could take better care
if your hands were mine and i could see into your eyes
when i'm drunk fucking with me in the mirror

you'd get plenty of sleep and i'd feed you so well
your shoes would fit right and my hair wouldn't smell
like carbon monoxide the way it does now,
and fasten your seatbelt, i wanna keep you around
but that's not easy to say about myself

emotion i've learned is for the weak
well that must leave love just for the weekend
never feeling like i am where I'm supposed to be
closeness makes me realize just how far i am from me

i'd feel better if i were alone

you can't have a positive impact
without having a negative one
i can't drown myself in a birdbath
but i can smash my head against it until the evil thoughts are gone.

Well i'm confident i could take better care
if it directly affected the people i love
But it does and i don't so i'd rather just go
where the vastness can reclaim my soul
i just want to be a part of the whole
