lyrics

It’s wet its words it’s ink, I'm ten feet tall I’m made of plastic
I’m never gonna decompose I'm here forever oh it's gonna stick
I'm all boarded up, all caution tape, a bunch of no trespassing signs
I need something to happen soon to let out all this dead stale air inside.
Well isn't this just beautiful? Aren't that you glad that you can see?
My forehead's just loud static in a place where you wish that you could be watching TV.

I am always and I’m never, I've been lived in I've been vacated
the tenants change so quickly they never say goodbye and ive always hated it.
i'm too kind with this fake-calm demeanor i'm too scared with what could be good love
but ooooo i don't feel a thing and a big black blank is the worst thing i could think of.
i'm bumping into shelves so the dining sets will hit the floor and break
i'm ruining everyone's family dinners and i'm keeping all of my neighbors awake.

i prod until i bruise and then i prod some more, it hurts until it doesn't and that's when i know it hurts for sure
ugh
every day i wake up in a bed that's too wide but too short
oh everything is just too much and oh my god i want some more
i'm a shell husk hollow, rung dry dripping and see-through
i think i need something to happen and i need the happening to happen from you.
please let me eat you whole because i've been eaten clean through
id let you do the only thing that the chestbursters from Alien know how to do.
sometimes i think i'm empty but then i remember the very worst part
oh it's the part where i remember i was never full to begin with,
i've been a lack from the start.
