lyrics

I've got a feeling that I can't explain
Wouldn't you know it ?
You know exactly what it is
You have these feelings all the time
You are very good at this
Treating me like you are not mine

I am building up a wall
I'm taking my time—brick by brick
I am getting good at this
I am never getting over it
You say you can lend your hand
I love the way you always underestimate

I left you a rotten mess
Are you still a little bit left in the dark?
Are you still available
for me to be entertained
by your precious body parts?
Please don't tell me that you’ve changed!

You
are so divine!
You
are so self-realized!
I
am such a pessimist
I
am so full of shit

Haven't you had your fill
drinking from the Two of Cups ?
I fell on all Five of Swords
and I threw em up

I can't even stand up straight
I can't even head my way
I can't even say your name
Blame it on something that I ate
I can't even decide—
where do i belong?
shall I stay here,
hide?
leave here now and run away?
I can’t even
It stands to reason—
It's the same thing

I can't even
make you feel okay
like it's got anything to do with
You and I
