it's like crashing a bike you can't forget what it feels like think you know how to go but suddenly you're not upright you're asleep on the road and you're blocking the view from the headlights and what d'you know head on into traffic oblivious to it, oblivious to it oblivious to it, oblivious to it in love, i fucking told you not to and what d'you do? pearl of great price so annoyed, sick of you crossing the line what a joy, what a good goddamn made good on a gift before i ventured into it it's the ugliest bit only do it unwarranted such a shitty response am i supposed to get over it? didn't want me to sing never wanted oblivious to it, oblivious to it oblivious to it, oblivious to it in love, i fucking told you not to and what d'you do? pearl of great price so annoyed, sick of you crossing the line what a joy, what a good goddamn

you don't love being this indiscreet, fleeting or youthful though you may be i kept the other room and i slept in and i felt like anything could happen if i opened my eyes to see you pretending to be asleep, dreaming about me i got another headache from riding around at night now i know why nobody can see me in the subway car if i close my eyes i am not overly insecure, chemical bodies to blame for sure it's just my own went and recycled all the old shit on the very idea that you might move on from her went and pretended to be the one, like it was about us we land in second position on a metal barre now i know why nobody can see me in the subway car if i close my eyes i am not overly insecure, chemical bodies to blame for sure

a body without knives, strapped to the bed with a good idea in mind she looks at me like she's never seen anything quite that nice and i've never been that aware of what's mine and what's never gonna be mine bruised bad without cause, made an excuse with a good idea in mind of why not clumsy as hell, wanting to tell her i liked it knowing i'm better off that i've never been that aware of what's mine and what's never gonna be mine and i got up early and i waited for her to get up i told myself that i've never once fallen in love and i'm never gonna get, and i'm never gonna get and i'm never gonna get caught up and what's never gonna be mine and i got up early and i waited for her to get up i told myself that i've never once fallen in love and i'm never gonna get, and i'm never gonna get and i'm never gonna get caught up

someday i'll fall in love with a boy who doesn't make me think of you i've got a standard of living i keep if i have to and when i fell in love with saint sebastian, i knew what i would have to do stopped wearing shirts, started feeling out of fashion, got shot through every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex, i am afraid of whatever comes next and i think of you falling apart in my absence think about running through whatever exit i find jesus christ, i am losing my mind hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time if i take a look at what we came to, i assume that it won't do you'll have a crisis of conscience too foolproof to soldier through and when i fell in love with saint sebastian, i knew what you were gonna say i was never gonna get called in to the child faith every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex, i am afraid of whatever comes next and i think of you falling apart in my absence think about running through whatever exit i find jesus christ, i am losing my mind hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time if you call me tomorrow, i will be better to you than i am if you wanna get better, we can start hatching an idiot plan call me tomorrow, call me tomorrow, tomorrow at five if you wanna get better you don't start, you don't eat the new normal alive every time i hear the echoplex, the echoplex, i am afraid of whatever comes next and i think of you falling apart in my absence think about running through whatever exit i find jesus christ, i am losing my mind hoping i'll get destroyed when you find some free time

you broke up with my girlfriend acting all magnanimous like you know what it's for i'll move out of your basement back into the drugstore leave with what i came with haven't got the patience can't do that anymore mute notifications keeping me awake at night without any recourse if you don't ghost me next then i can be an exorcist cleaning all your messes leave the room you enter better than before & i don't wanna get you in trouble but i can't keep letting you off the hook been a bad liar so long, i can't get it wrong my hands are an open book i broke up with my girlfriend acting all delirious as if i didn't know if you don't ghost me next then i might live inside of it haunt an empty basement leave the room you enter better when you go
