LYRICS:
Should've always known that this wouldn't work
Starting every daydream with a hypnic jerk
Broke a knuckle on the headboard
Choked on the charging cord
Never gonna sleep, check my phone like clockwork

Sitting on the stairs, 3am every night
I could pull out my heart just to watch it keep time
Does that thing still beat? I don't know what's inside
Been pretending this whole time you still make me feel alive

Keep your name out my mouth like you requested
Eating my time away in the downspin
Distract me even more with the words you speak
And I'll eat my heart any day of the week

They sit on the other side of the webcam
Hands between their thighs
I lean in to the mic and tell them slow down,
You don't even know what I want, right?

Eat your body like a mushroom
I'm subject to decay, too
Bury me in your garden, wanna rot where I can see you

They sit on the other side of the webcam
Hands between their thighs
I lean in to the mic and tell them slow down,
You don't even know what I want, right?

My milk carton face, pale as day
When they show me on TV what will they say
If you love me let me go
But you don't, so you won't
You only want me cause you know I don't want anything anymore

They sit on the other side of the webcam
Hands between their thighs
I lean in to the mic and tell them slow down,
You don't even know what I want, right?

When will I belong to myself again?
I am an echo through your headset
You touch yourself to the shadows on the cave wall,
I wake in my grave with a cold sweat
