lyrics

sending off another link in the chain of past due emails
begrudgingly divulge the details of another month
never stop to wonder if what you're doing could be dangerous
whether you should remain strangers, you don't know what you want

it's no fun watching what you say
a simple change of pace, soon becomes a habit
no one should every make you feel that way
so why keep doing it to yourself every single day

ripping off the bandaid wraps your index finger in cotton swabs
before you leave the parking lot. no one will know how you spent your lunch break
there's nothing really to be that ashamed about, you tell yourself. it's just reproductive health. who care's what assumptions they make

it's no fun watching what you say
all the little digs are adding up to static
no one should ever make you feel that way
so why keep doing it to yourself every single day

i guess no one ever notices til you suggest they clean up the mess

stale recycled air, the glare of headlights in your rearview mirror
you're not getting any nearer
you're not going home
