ì I would really prefer not to tell you whatâs going on in my head right now.
I really wanna know. Iâm not going to hold it against you, I promise Iâm a big boy, I can handle it, just tell me whatâs going on in your headâ¦
ìMr. Chambers, donât get on that ship! The rest of the book, to serve man, itâs- itâs a cook book!
Thatâs not a hand, itâs a claw
And this is not a song, itâs an exorcism of numbness
We are not in my bedroom anymore, itâs a prison camp that Iâve been stuck in
This isnât skin, itâs a scramble suit with a thousand meâs rotating
Thatâs not your mouth, thatâs a boredom generator powered by irritation
We arenât a couple, weâre isolationists who to try to use the buddy system
And that wasnât sex, it was a competition for power that Iâm clearly winning
But thatâs not victory, matter of fact I think Iâm better off forfeiting
You go for de gold, girl, Iâm about to bounce out to Deadwoods Hills for cleaner living
And I really do
I hope it all works out like you want it to
This is not Brooklyn, itâs a colony of wayward bees without a queen
And weâre not people, weâre like Sims controlled by childish deities
But see weâre alive now and itâs not time weâre wasting here
Nah this is life and youâre so (pretty)
Like the gleam off that blade when you slipped my ribs the shivy
This ainât a break up, I like to think of it as a stay of execution
And thatâs not the air Iâm clearing, itâs the wispy trails of our cumulus pollution
And thatâs not despair youâre feeling, itâs the petulant reaction of a wounded child
And thatâs not the door Iâm looking at, itâs an escape hatch to the zeppelin weâre inside
And I really do
I hope it all works out like you want it to
Youâre not a woman, youâre a piranha with cuttlerry for dentured up smile
And Iâm not a man, Iâm an incomplete punchline of a joke I donât understand
Thatâs not your diary, itâs a cook book and Iâm your favourite chapter when youâre bored
And thatâs not a love letter, itâs a recipe for the same slop you served before
This ainât an insult, itâs the clearest truth Iâve ever had the misery to speak
These arenât words, these are the terms of my surrender and defeat
But Iâm not sorry beyond the sorry nature of existing with no plans
Please donât touch me, just wave goodbye with that claw that notâs a hand
Did I mention thatâ¦
I hope it all works out like you want it to and I really doâ¦
