lyrics

if this scene looks incomplete
i can find somebody else
with a marginal disease
i encompass and inhale
in the bathtub there's a different kind of comfort
there's no backup plan, just tiny things
we can command to rot

i'm a burden when i'm hurting
what's the word that you forgot?
when i'm happy, i'm not happy
i'm just thinking someone else's thoughts

if i defend my dull despair
will you turn and laugh with me?
all the language i prepare
laughs along and hails defeat
in the hallway there's a poster for a movie that i missed
ain't it always that the hero never dies without a kiss

kiss and tell
i'll never spell the secrets out for all the curious
so happy//i'm not happy
i'm just thinking how someone would kill for this

make believe that i'm a calm enough killer
pretty to me bitter and deceived
so happy//i'm not happy
