lyrics

let me choke
on everything that i broke
take every handful of shards and
shove them down my throat

i'm only ever good at absorbing everything
i can find out what you need
i can be anything

i often wonder what's behind the curtains i've put up
locked myself away from the most honest parts of myself

conscientiousness is nothing but a predictor
for always feeling like a mess
for always feeling the weight of my
own self-imposed consequences

calling, chastising myself
critical thinking: if i can put it into something i can measure
then i guess it just makes sense that i'm fucked up
biochemical meat puppet!

is all i ever clung to for so many years
as i grappled with every inch of my existence
every part of this shit i'm in that doesn't make any sense
i didn't ask to start off in such a mess

always playing second best
to my own self-imposed criticisms
cynicism's the only thing i've known to keep my heart beating
