Listen.

All these pretty objects, I don't need them but it's nice to see them
I'm glad they exist, fill our space with something we can't miss
Most people's talents remain undiscovered
Run amiss, run amok, run away from what we love
Because it won't feed, stuck chasing green lights with our tanks in the red
Our banks in the negative, better shit waiting for us outside the screens

Yeah, we can't hear it over the screams
Can barely hear each other, you've been missing what I mean
I've been tryna show you what I've seen
With no patience to tell it, no words to spell it out
Feel like we need to shout to have our voices heard
Over the loud absurdity

Baby, you're hurting me
Slow down and listen or you'll miss me when I'm gone
Can't do this alone, weight crushing my dome
Really need a home to rest in and feel safe
Elated when our people are sharing the space
But right now all I feel is it fading away

Looking for the words to make you stay
When in reality I need to work on being okay with change
Increase my range of comfort, done with feeling done for
I've done more than mope and I know it

Even the tiny things with nothing to show for
Know more about me than I can see
When I'm wading through depression away from reality's shore
Feel like I'm drowning and more, the water's getting cold

Been tryna let go with the hope of moulding reality
Rather learn to just float
And scope out well-intended boats
Eyes open, mouth closed
