lyrics

Where am I drifting to? How can I begin to be the person that I want? No hang-ups, no fears. Open arms, open ears. To connect. I’m a dull blade, I’m a ball of nerves sweating panic in a climate-controlled room. Oh, they can’t control you. How can I be you? As a child I thought if I lay still enough I’d be safe in a world indescribably big. I’m a thrift store record no one knows how to play. Just put the needle on my veins. Sentiment flows from acrylic and if I try hard enough or I’m lucky enough you’ll notice me for a minute. I felt it six states away, and we were all talking and you didn’t notice because you were already on a plane. I’m in a box that I built for myself. I’m a chalkboard, I’m an easel on a window, owned by a “god” with no imagination. Still, he imagined you. How can I be you? (Shay)
