lyrics
"We're close" somehow slips out as strangely hyperbolic
Rings through our anecdotes in chambers, hyperbaric
A hairline fracture webs and cracks into divides, splits
a foundation feigning strength, one gust was all it took
It was one awkward month and now you're a stranger
One odd remark and now you're a stranger
My guess, you'd started fresh crash testing out new worlds
Boiling alive in Pheonix, struggling in New York
Went out the window with our run-in at the mall
The labored exchange, your body language, and brief revival after got me
Convinced an alien ambushed him on a walk
Took his real body up to research, test, and prod
New people in his life don't give a second thought
to the basic fact: you are a bot
Asylum bound, I'm bound and carted off
(Does this mean we're done trading our cards?
You've got my Charizard)
Conversing more with my adversaries
Visitors real and imaginary
Lost in mud swirls in drywall ceilings
Like stratus clouds to eyeballs, seeing things
Copilot seat in the Civic
Dust-covered suit of a groomsman
Comic relief at the deathbed
My failing grip on a best friend
Stop calling up every three months when you need a solid
Drop the faux politeness bit and treat me like you always did
Stop dolling up our plans to more than a lift to Boston
Drop the roaring laughter skit and treat me like you always did
Stop this falling off the grid and treat me like you always
It was one awkward month and now you're a stranger
One odd remark and now you're a stranger
Rings through our anecdotes in chambers, hyperbaric
A hairline fracture webs and cracks into divides, splits
a foundation feigning strength, one gust was all it took
It was one awkward month and now you're a stranger
One odd remark and now you're a stranger
My guess, you'd started fresh crash testing out new worlds
Boiling alive in Pheonix, struggling in New York
Went out the window with our run-in at the mall
The labored exchange, your body language, and brief revival after got me
Convinced an alien ambushed him on a walk
Took his real body up to research, test, and prod
New people in his life don't give a second thought
to the basic fact: you are a bot
Asylum bound, I'm bound and carted off
(Does this mean we're done trading our cards?
You've got my Charizard)
Conversing more with my adversaries
Visitors real and imaginary
Lost in mud swirls in drywall ceilings
Like stratus clouds to eyeballs, seeing things
Copilot seat in the Civic
Dust-covered suit of a groomsman
Comic relief at the deathbed
My failing grip on a best friend
Stop calling up every three months when you need a solid
Drop the faux politeness bit and treat me like you always did
Stop dolling up our plans to more than a lift to Boston
Drop the roaring laughter skit and treat me like you always did
Stop this falling off the grid and treat me like you always
It was one awkward month and now you're a stranger
One odd remark and now you're a stranger
