lyrics

frankly
and i'm flattered
it just seems like it's not fun
for you to be enamored in something
that you can't control
feeling
comes on latent
and if i squint hard
i can see
something romanticizable in me
just like back in the day

so let the record show
this could be heaven
and we'd never know
if we don't give it a go
but it's the very same with everyone you know
so it doesn't mean anything at all

gestures
come on too strong
come on blatant
"come on eileen"
sweet sentiments are the rounded up versions
of what we really mean
so come
a little closer
then you'll get it
then you'll see
i'm the jagged rocks you throw yourself against
to get your body in the sea

and we've been overstimulated
so you've got standards to live up to
and once you meet them
i'll hate myself for it
it'll be so pretty though
apparently it's all i can do
mutually-assured self-destruction

my brain has been fucked from birth
by things i cannot identify
i do not know how to empathize
only how to self-punish when i
get the things that i want and i think
it's probably awful in a million ways
that the world's greatest ethicist could only describe
and i'm left with this absence of feeling inside
but it's not complete
not enough to subside
any lasting thought that i'd
thrown away the one chance that i ha-
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
springtime imprint me on someone please
give me a codependent identity
on some pretty lady or some pretty boy
give me somebody to shape as my own then destroy

so just
come over
let's do it
now get out
