about

The first single from the upcoming Miserable/Comfortable.

lyrics

Walking through your old neighborhood,
you think how lucky you are to be forgotten,
how blessed to be anonymous,
so glad to no longer be a part of this.

Connection is hell, and I won’t rebuild.
At least the ruins aren’t a tool for some other mind to take advantage of.
I’m tired of coercion.
I’m tired of lies.
I’m tired of playing nice.
I’d rather chew off my own leg than be trapped here with you.

I will forgive so that you will stop,
so I can move on and live a life again.

Couldn’t deconstruct the state,
we shot insults at friends and lovers instead.
Hands holding and holding hands back,
conceal your mistakes instead of learn from the past.
Hurting each other in intimate ways and putting that hurt on display,
and so I tore at my face like an animal.

I just can’t face the consequence,
eyes still wet from the consequence.
