lyrics

I've scoured through my lexicon and devoured every page.
My knowledge of this language isn't growing ripe with age.
When pinned down in the moment, I never do what's best.

The more stress, the more I try.
My efforts look like ignorance with every wrong reply.

Do I trust you,
Or disdain you?
How don't I know yet,
Just what I need to feel?

Who plastered your perfection, cause that gloss is starting to fade.
The time it takes to react doesn’t cope well with my brain.
And when pinned down in the moment, I never do what’s best.

The more stress, the more I try.
My efforts look like ignorance with every wrong reply.

Should I savour this,
When i've trapped you in contempt?
Why am I unsure,
What's artificial and what's for real?

Did you really have to see me like this?
And did you have to open your eyes?
Not sure you understand, or if you ever will.
Did you really have to see me like this?
And did you really have to open your eyes?
I know you were afraid, but I made it home just fine.
