The First Eviction Notice
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.
A temple
Corroded.
Eviction
Pending.
Embrace me.
Cold night.
Gray sky.
Streetlight.
Lyrical
Descention.
Attention
Fading.
Breathless, I'm a mess.
Kissless, I'm in distress.
I'm barely breathing.
This crowning anguish.
Locked up nervous reflex.
I've got to build up from the inside.
A relapse.
Reflection.
Distorted.
Repression.
Smiling spitefully,
Longing for you to sew up my seams.
I'm barely breathing.
I've abandoned old identities,
Skin I couldn't fit into,
Songs I couldn't write,
My voice will fade into this starless night.
Can I get much blinder?
Can I kick myself much harder?
Have I accepted this
To torture myself?
You can't see me.
Have I invented you?
I'm barely breathing.
You so easy to believe in.
And it's so depressing,
That I'm always second guessing,
That I'm always second guessing,
That I'm always second guessing
Myself.
