lyrics

My short-term memory is completely vanishing
It’s as if these little moments all lead to nothing
Not to say there are no good days,
but goodness I can’t hold
like buying pretty furniture
when you don’t have a home

This is a not-so-nervous breakdown
No calm before the storm
when storms become the norm

I can’t shake this feeling like a zero amongst O’s
I feel like I fit in, but know I don’t belong
This is not a cry for help
for my dwindling mental health
I lost my mind so long ago
it’s kind of become home

This is a not-so-nervous breakdown
No calm before the storm
when storms become the norm
(I’ve come to terms
with what I’ve learned
I found the words)

I couldn’t find it in the bar across the street
Or the cross on the church down the block from me
I guess it could be worse, as I’ve always heard
I couldn’t find it in the bar across the street
Or the cross on the church down the block from me
When everything hurts, then nothing hurts

Can’t fake it through a back-lit screen
with a colon and parentheses
Can’t find your way to happiness
or some semblance of inner peace
feeling like a tree that fell down
in the woods all alone
nothing there to break my fall
No one cares, hears, or knows
