lyrics

I’m still frustrated from last night. Things happened in half time. I’m sick of the bends

My panic research was no help. I sink into myself. Afraid of the fall that never ends
I wait but i’m too tired to play pretend. I’ll suffocate until the end

No time for half-hearted goodbyes. I turn on the spotlight & flee from the scene

Cheap flights from paris to bangkok. I thought it was non-stop. Can’t sleep on the klm again
I haunt the halls of medicine at night. Choking back the urge to fight

Her cat was clawing the floorboards. Just outside of our door. The panic begins

I searched the whole damn apartment. From ceiling to carpet
No sign of the things she used to own. As autumn turns it’s back on me again
I climb the walls for oxygen

My body aches. It heaves, it shakes. All somersaults through so-called art
& I still don’t know exactly who I am. I never will. Amen

She whispers something in my ear. The message is unclear. She motions outside

I trail her closely from behind. She tries hard not to cry
She shakes underneath the pouring rain
“i can’t compete with all your damn ideas. This isn’t working out for you or me.
The truth is i’m too tired to play pretend. This is goodbye, this is the end.”
