about

this song was a headache to make. i re-recorded so many different parts so many different times. i like it though.

lyrics

How can one man be so blind?
How can he see himself as a man?
Stuck in our dreams, as you may see
With both eyes tied to the tree of your mind.

I can't stand to sleep in the dark
What is all around me?
I wish it was you,
But you're transparent when I see.

Do I really care for you,
Or just what you think of me?
And if I really care for you,
Why do I pretend to see what you don't show?

****

Stop
You're teasing me
With that fucking synth-y music I can't move my body to.
Dancing never looks good to me
It's just calculated wiggling
I guess I'm just undermining.

I'm just calculated cells and dirt
I'm worth nothing of any worth
In comparison the universe...
...What is the universe?
...Am I the universe???
I tried not to care
But I stopped caring
I tried not to share
I started sharing

When you let your hair down
Anyone can cut it
When you put your foot down
How can I tell?

Oh, dopamine
You're not dope, you're just mean*
Turning off and on again
As if the sun rose once a week.
Oh, moon
Why are you out at noon?

I don't know anything anymore
I can't see the heart that's at the core
Just a body
And a hint of a smile.
I've been on and on for a while
So how was your day?

The mess that is my mind
The mess that's in my mind
Running through my ears
Into the years of peers
Realizing all my fears.

Some people just don't connect
Sometimes the other party is a funeral.

You're my universe
Sit on a ten-foot pedestal
Not that tall.
It's not that full.
But you got what I
Think I want
And I got what you see
Superficial
I'm superficial
More than I say.

I can't see the future,
I can't see the past.
