If But For You
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’ve been kissing your shadow for about three days
I forgot to behave simply made it up along the way
Worried your mind hasn’t had enough to eat today
Never heard a single word in my sleep I just lip synced
And washed pieces of myself down your kitchen sink
I'm older than magic but still taste like dirt
So give me your silence or I’ll steal all your copper
Suffer your anxiety and experience your nightmares next to you
I’m proud to call you home I don’t remember much before you
We’re covalent sharing everything
Walked into your life because you left the door open
You could be my new scar if you make good marks
This could be a false start
Full of watertight dead ends
Do you believe in agency
I dont believe in me if but for you
You were born in a factory
And you were a mystery
But open too
When I grow up
I wanna be unemployed
So I can spend all day
Playing with your toys
