lyrics
Nervously sympathetic, the system won’t get poetic about getting stressed. I cry much less since I flee or fight it at my best. I antagonize with Nicotine, I’ll be what I wanna be. I question God and what I’m not, but then again, I cry a lot.
I’ve been splintering my present everything. And, I’ll be splintering.
Call me out and I will walk away. I’ll be neglecting everyday. ‘Grow up’, I can hear the others say. It’s not what I’m after. I’ll postpone the passage. I’ll postpone the passage.
And, Nervously sympathetic I look for an anesthetic to relieve the growing pains haunting the splattered pieces of my brain. But, I realize that’s pathetic and mostly egocentric. Failed as guest, Failed as a host. It’s my very self I miss the most.
I am splintering, so let me splinter thin.
Call me out and I will walk away. I’ll be neglecting everyday. ‘Grow up’, I can hear the others say. It’s not what I’m after. I’ll postpone the passage. I’ll postpone the passage.
No, you can’t change me. I’ll still be talking in my sleep. I’m not afraid, but the obstacles are steep.
I’ve been splintering my present everything. And, I’ll be splintering.
Call me out and I will walk away. I’ll be neglecting everyday. ‘Grow up’, I can hear the others say. It’s not what I’m after. I’ll postpone the passage. I’ll postpone the passage.
And, Nervously sympathetic I look for an anesthetic to relieve the growing pains haunting the splattered pieces of my brain. But, I realize that’s pathetic and mostly egocentric. Failed as guest, Failed as a host. It’s my very self I miss the most.
I am splintering, so let me splinter thin.
Call me out and I will walk away. I’ll be neglecting everyday. ‘Grow up’, I can hear the others say. It’s not what I’m after. I’ll postpone the passage. I’ll postpone the passage.
No, you can’t change me. I’ll still be talking in my sleep. I’m not afraid, but the obstacles are steep.
