lyrics

Claim that everybody else got the world wrong except for you
And I gotta hope you said that jokingly, at least half jokingly, otherwise...
Well, I can’t go into specifics that's when things start to get murky
And I found if I think about it I almost pass out in the street

Though I could see it from your point of view
I don't want to burn the world down
if we need to then i'll join you
but I need to put myself first
I'm just trying to make it through
I don't want to burn the world down
You can light yourself on fire
but I don't wanna get burned

Say I stopped pretending to have no bleeding heart for a while
There are still reasons I keep these things from falling into the light (the heat cuts through)
Why would I unlearn everything I worked on
Why would I make that part harder to hide
Clearly that’s worked so well for you
I'm not sure whether that's a lie

Ahs

Though I could see it from your point of view
I don't want to burn the world down
if we need to then i'll join you
but I need to put myself first
I'm just trying to make it through
I don't want to burn the world down
You can light yourself on fire
but I don't wanna get burned

I can’t tie it together I can’t reconcile
I can’t swallow my pride and swallow my bile
I won’t keep up I won’t keep track

Even then
It’s getting hard to tell what you’re even saying anymore
And again
I have to get myself alone so I can put it in my own words
Very well
I mean everybody is somebody else’s radical
Even then
If I’m around you you’re just too much

Though I could see it from your point of view
I don't want to burn the world down
if we need to then i'll join you
but I need to put myself first
I'm just trying to make it through
I don't want to burn the world down
You can light yourself on fire
but I don't wanna get burned

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York

I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.
