lyrics

My reality is latent addiction
Habits listed on a google doc around the clock
I’m an acid trip with a sadistic twist
The kind that’ll make me want to call the shots
And the voices they never stop
Long enough to let me cool off
So now everybody’s writing me off
‘Cause they think I’ll never reach the top
And I might not

Might as well chock it up to a loss
‘Cause if life’s my lover we’re star-crossed
You don’t wanna know what gets me off
‘Cause she’s only one that sets me off
When I fell I never got back up
She’s still collecting pieces of what I once was
When we’re together this never lets up
When her good met my ugly she still called it love

I’ve been wondering where I went wrong
Have I been this broken all along?
Is she here with me to journey on?
And are our hearts singing the same song?

It all starts with a fling
And either ends in love or a jump off the balcony
When I started to sing
It was to permeate through past the screams
It all starts with a fling
And either ends in love or face full of concrete
When we started to sing
I finally understood the point of Humpty Dumpty

What will it take for the world to love me?
When my whole world is way above me?
I laid there in pieces on the concrete
And you picked up the pieces and admired the gleam

(I’m just trying to do right by you
By doing right by me too
And I know I’m pretty broken
But that doesn’t seem to bother you
I’m realizing that people can’t be put back together
And that you should just admire the pieces for what they are
I’m seeing that relationships function like dustpans
But instead of throwing the pieces in the trash you put ‘em on display
So the world can see that we’re all inherently broken
But despite the chaos and the clutter we’re all worthy of love and affection
And that no matter what road life takes us
We can eventually end up going the right direction
I’d like to thank you for putting up with me
But you do so much more than put up with me
You excite my inner desires till I’m living my fantasy
You are my muse, every song I write embodies my love for you
I love you
You and only you
Thank you)
