lyrics

I’ve been so restless
I’m tearing up the walls, and tripping on the pages
Configured my head in what doesn’t exist
She doesn’t exist

Can’t everything ever dissolve?

Convinced I’m free
But console me in familiarity
I’m holding onto someone who doesn’t exist
She doesn’t exist no

Can’t everything ever dissolve
Into water with my salt
Maybe if i pressed more heat in my skin
I could knead out some of these kinks
I think I know your eyes by now
I think they see me how I wish I’d see myself
Still you’ll take my hands and fill ‘em with doubt, please!
I’m struggling for balance with one foot in my mouth
Can’t everything ever dissolve
(into water with my salt)

Would you be hollow like me, empty, colder like me unconditional like me
So distant like me, and worried like me
But woman like me
Would you like me
