Stockholm

[Verse 1]
Cut out mannequin
Puzzle piece struggling
Let me know what's happening
I promise you won't regret it
Burger joints, ramen shops
Wine bars and fusion spots
Late-twenties art school goths
Alcoholics and aesthetics
He's drunk and impossible
At the party acting terrible
Intermediate and gullible
He hopes that they'll forget him
'Cause he's an indebted man
A hometown hero dealt a loser's hand
Somehow they won't understand
Somеhow they won't forget him
Awkward, an imbecilе
Acting out against his will
Swallowed all of the pills
Tweaked and greasy
Stockholm city, a mirage
Cold, dark nights and franchise bars
Tall men and movie stars
A culture so appealing
Clean streets and eerie calm
Money boys with attractive moms
So lonely by the intercom
No one likes to listen
Fashion, sex, attitude
HBO shows and older dudes
Pride and shame and interlude
Anxiety is a given

[Interlude]
I get scared, like, in Sweden
You know, it's kind of empty, they're all drunk
Everything works
If you s— you know
If you stop at a stop light and turn— don't turn your engine off
People come over and talk to you about it
You open the medicine cabinet and open it up
And there'll be a little poster saying, "In case of suicide, call"
You turn on the TV, there's an ear operation
These things scare me

[Verse 2]
Brightest light in the summertime
Brave kids just wasted signs
Cherry Coke, lemon lime
Neapolitan pizza
So many ways to spend a day
Long walks, just walk away
So hectic I don't wanna stay
Dinner at Café Nizza
An old friend, the situation is
An old flame, a super-gross kiss
Who thought it'd come to this
I'm like a candle in the wind
LOL at all the Slavic boys
Caught between a no and you know it
Self-esteem, I thought we'd outgrow it
Just fill it up to the brim
Emotionally impaired and cab fare paying
Young professionals carelessly living
I can't say that I'm not jealous
Even though I live my life just like they do
