Batteries

My roots show in the ambient light from the open door
Nobody to fix it, I know I've got to learn
She has it together, man, her mom got her a job
I used to think I'd be like her my whole life

Don't get me wrong
I'm way happier here
With people who get me
And not the versions of me they wanna get

The clean and tidy boy
Who never wanted to hurt

Now there's a battery in my chest
But since when, I don't know
Guеss I don't have to care
How I treat mysеlf anymore

Reach out and touch my hair, your hands are the same as mine
Done all the same things to try to fix our brains, or at least put them at ease

So it's my right lung first
And then it's my left
My teeth, my hair, my clothes
I understand if they're disappointed

Bodies hanging off the sides onto the floor
For a moment it's like a crime scene

I shake it away and quietly say to myself
"Good thing all I have is the mattress"

You're still our friend
Even if you're not bending over backwards
I assure you, I adore you
We love you all the time

I only open up when it's ending
Tonight and in life, I'm behind

We swallowed our glass pianos
Just to make our problems known
Now we're all fucked up and we're all alone but at least we're fucked up together

So we're all fucked up and we're all alone but at least we're alone now
All of us

I hope you're protected, settled down
In love

With some nice girl who keeps your ghosts at bay if I could be in two places at once you know I would
Taking turns, worried for each other
