I try not to let my worries ruin my days
All my thoughts are appealing but I don't know what to feel in my bones
My flesh melts away every day I live in this town
Every blank face and every dim light street light frown I see around

I want you to make me struggle
Everything's so easy, I'm seeing double
But now I'm neutral here, floating in this bubble
Let the narcissism ensue, let me peak, and then I'll be back, I'll be troubled
Thinking about the hundreds of things you never said out loud, but mumbled

You freckle your face year after year until your age is near
Till the clarity of your face is crowded with fear

All your memories are scars of brown
Your face is like a galaxy
I look into it and see things that happened years before, and I could never know what you're thinking now
I could never get to know every little thing about you
I could never know you, I could never be what you want completely
Because that's a question not even you could answer
And it plagues me like brain cancer

Everybody's got a different definition of love
Everybody thinks you can only love once
But everybody's so different, how can you not see the possibility for love
How can you not see that one is not enough
