lyrics

Show your face
tell 'em how you feel when you wait
and how you heal, if you break
the wheel is made in outer space
I'm outta space, in my apartment
in my mind I'm comparted
calculate the distance between
being hard and disheartened

I set the bar and drink until I shake beneath
the weight of our achievements
make me feel like I need you
to sleep and eat
and weave in and out of consciousness
before I drift at least
and I lean on others for support
before they missing me since
orphans never dream
they drop me before I'm capable of standing
leave me to slump and steadily land in
narcissistic lumps
they go
hand in hand with cancerous answers
and generic legos
my answer wasn't fake though

I'm trying to get away
trying to escape
I'm trying to get away
but I'm trying too late

Show me your name
it's kinda similar to one I had before
or a friend
I forget of which I've had so more
the lessons never seem to end
just memories and seams that fit together
but never seem to mend
remember me
before you leave for men
a family and a reason then
to banish me to islands
that form a lens and formalize my eyelids
my stripes are aligned
but this is a goodbye
in silence
though
it doesn't look right
there's still so much time in the book, write
the lines are good
but there's a little space between the rhymes and hooks
I lace my shoes like it's the last time I'm ever gonna do this
then I walk up, knock, and ask who it is

I'm trying to get away
trying to escape
I'm trying to get away
but I'm trying too late

Show me your hands
cut up by the chances taken
make a sand trap
fall into it only hatred
ask my name
as if it's changed since
last time we exchanged these glances
thanks for your advances
toward my batshit crazy this
and your batshit crazy that
I'm just a space cadet
that happened to piss my pants
call me lazy, yes? I'm focused
the only one with the boat that's never broken
'cuz I never sail to keep my options open

I'm trying to get away
trying to escape
I'm trying to get away
but I'm trying too late
