paradoxes, sages Lyrics

I'm nicely asking you to not fuck with my head

Fantasy running every inch of this land

Can't see any end, many look grey

But always gotta move I can't hang in my bed

Toxic means to an end

Better yet, nuke every contact I had

Spent a lotta years tryna sift through the past

Finding everything worth keeping and I'm throwing out the rest

And that's a ratio of one to a billion and then some

Most explanations were only "cause I said so"

Paper makes ideas sing like falsetto

And every day I got to see in practice and effect: No

I feel like I can't help myself

It felt like I was sunken down

It felt like I was on the outside looking in

It felt like parasitic friends

It felt like clouds around my head

It felt like I was on the outside looking in

(Paradoxes, sages)

Don't say what you don't mean to my face

You promised me keys to heaven

Those illusions gave me questions

(Paradoxes, sages)

Don't tremble over solitude

I gave you what I promised you

Just leave me be we'll call it truce

Hits, hits, hits like an instrument

When it hits, hits, hits like the drum in the band

Everything dries up and dies in the sand

When I stand in your house it's like no man's land

Oh that's no way to go

And I've been gone for so long that I had to read the roads

Til your time is up I will stand in awe

How you stand ajar and pretend you're closed

I feel like I can't help myself

It felt like I was sunken down

It felt like I was on the outside looking in

It felt like parasitic friends

It felt like clouds around my head

It felt like I was on the outside looking in

(Paradoxes, sages)

Don't say what you don't mean to my face

You promised me keys to heaven

Those illusions gave me questions

(Paradoxes, sages)

Don't tremble over solitude

I gave you what I promised you

Just leave me be we'll call it truce
