Lyrics:

Straight into the eyes and then the tolerance subsides - I think it’s time
To scarper, slip away, even momentarily - could stretch for sky
It’s all syllables to me, show me mercy set me free - a yawn invades
Taking at least five to get that want for more revived - come back, I pray

I must be relieved, but firstly believed
I’m far too vertebrate to face you with my spine
If you have any decency, basic humility, no less
You’ll know the kindest thing to do
Is greet me with silence

In comes repetition, tryna swallow it’s a mission - special operatives deployed
I’m a sucker for a story, but you harvest heaps of hoary - there goes patience: destroyed
“It’s wonderful to be here” I say, glancing in the bathroom mirror - safely shielded
Wander back astray, across the floor without your gaze - and I’ve succeeded

I must be relieved, but firstly believed
I’m far too vertebrate to face you with my spine
If you have any decency, basic humility, no less
You’ll know the kindest thing to do
Is greet me with silence

I must be relieved, but firstly believed
I’m far too vertebrate to face you with my spine
If you have any decency, basic humility, no less
You’ll know the kindest thing to do is greet me with silence
I’ve been relieved
