lyrics

She asks me kinda raspy if it’s good
If it has me feeling happy, like it should
With her hair she looks so bare despite the dark
I just stare, I can only stare at her to start

I wanna scream
That I don’t know
That I cant speak
That I won’t show
How so empty

My brain is,
Not inane it simply tries
I feign the thoughts to attain a sought-after guise
That I’m indeed real, a sweet deal, emotionally available
I guarantee it’ll be me to feel a notion that is malleable

And in the bedsheets I get ready to nearly cry
And she lets me, stops to pet me, asks me why
Such a simple question
Why can’t I answer the question

And at the grocery store
I grossly mourn the price of grapes
Draped in dust and, before I could ignore it, out escapes
A great big sigh and, why are reds so high end?
I don’t have my Ralphs Card
They got more anthocyanin
Now I don’t even want to buy them

So I stopped crying, mopped my eye things
And mustered my audacity
I locked eyes, then dropped mine, too flustered, a catastrophe
“Ok,” you say, you patiently wait
I betray you again and again
And I break, I take way to long to say, utter under weight

“I’m sorry I don’t like you,
No worries its a fight you
Were never really in,
And never had a chance
I never really meant for this to well, advance
And I’m sorry for my brain
And I’m sorry to explain
This inconvenient reality
This bitter truth actuality.”
