------
Small talk is shrinking/
Soon, there’ll be nothing left to say/
Awkward silence/
Choking on existential dread/
Broken ice/
The future bones of former frenemies/
As throwing knives; time paradox/
Don’t ask me why I’m cold/
Hypothermia/
Not here, and she knows it/
My spirit animal?/
A lobster in the ocean... of a seashell/
My real self is hidden, and/
Heavily encrypted, I/
Hack it into pieces/
‘Til my core splinters/
CLAWS OUT/
SCRATCH MY BROKEN RECORD/
I’M NOT A PLAYER/
I JUST **** A LOT OF **** UP/
MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE/
MAKE A DECISION/
WAKE UP FIFTEEN YEARS LATER/
IN A BOX/
AND EVERYBODY HATES ME/
INCLUDING MYSELVES/
I am not normal/
I cannot talk small/
I’m thinking about cutting out my tongue/
Like Oldboy./
