I'll Still Destroy 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.
It's so easy to set off
The molecules and the caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes me feel different
This one's like your sister's best friends in a bath calling you to join them
Can't avoid them
This one's like your mother's arms when she was young and sunburned in the '80s
It lasts forever
The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless friendship
And bad taste in liquids
This one's like the wilderness without the world
I'm gonna miss those longs nights with the windows open
I keep re-reading the same lines always up at 5am every morning
Like a baby
It's just the lights coming on
It's just the lights coming on
I have no positions
No point of view or vision
I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with
The sky's getting white
I can't find a lighter anywhere I'm going crazy
But I'm not crazy
Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you
I'll still destroy you
It's just the lights coming on
It's just the lights coming on
