lyrics

i never seem to be physically present when i’m silent
or whatever you deem in line
suddenly i’m the rooms elephant when i cross the threshold
that i guess was always there
drawn so thin
but in the infared
they're on every angle of me
i can’t see
in front of my nose
there exists the constant proposal that i can’t ever
do any right on any day
but i can’t help but like you anyway

you're spitting fire and sawdust if i do anything
no matter what words i write
what noises I breathe
what words i sing
you’re quick to pounce and say i’m wrong
all along
even though i already said it
and already knew it
would have minimized the internal tension
if you didn’t jump the gun ahead it
im not creative with what really i can say
somehow i still like you anyway

you’ve somehow kept this up now unflinchingly for years
how do you go this long
how do you not get tired
its like you have no other gears in there
i’ve got no reason or desire to intentionally do anything bad
never had
yet you still frame it with me
you typify me
don’t have the time to give a fuck of any degree
that’s a game im not young enough to play
but i can’t help but like you anyway

with every onslaught
every shotgun of venom
every fracture of the spine
and every defeat
i still get back up quivering on my own two feet
pick my bloody face off of the dirty concrete
ain’t it neat
still smiling as i cry
and I'm coming back tomorrow
and I'll always return to keep trying even though
i'll be severely broken today
maybe that’s why i somehow still like you anyway
