Lyrics
Tapes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am someone easy to leave
Even easier to forget
A voice, if inaccurate
Again: I'm the one they all run from
Diatribes of clouded Sun
Someone help me find the pause button
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
I'm too exhausting to be loved
A volatile chemical
Best to quarantine and cut off
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
I'm but a thorn in your sweet side
You'd be better off without me
It'd be best to leave at once
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
