lyrics

everything is lovely here
especially when it rains all day
I am doing well these days, hope you’re okay

an elegant table set
in a darkened storefront
napkins folded so precise and waiting

for all the perfect dinner guests
to act their perfect revelry
while outside my perfect nose drips perfectly

i guess i’m learning how terrifying loneliness can be
last night i dreamed i was in a taxicab, we lost control
we broke the fence we hit the wall and it all went black, I thought “surely this is it,”
then I was standing on a busy street, without even a scratch
even in my dreams i just can’t believe I will ever die
even in my dreams i just can’t believe I will ever die

the nipples of the manikins
glare through their flimsy clothes
it’s been so long since we’ve been warm together

I’d give up the crooked streets
and all the meals I can’t afford
give up all the colored bricks
all the people I don’t know
just to know you’re listening. Are you listening?

i guess i’m learning how terrifying loneliness can be
last night i dreamed i was in a taxicab, we lost control
we broke the fence we hit the wall and it all went black, I thought “surely this is it,”
then I was standing on a busy street, without even a scratch
even in my dreams i just can’t believe I will ever die
even in my dreams i just can’t believe I will ever die

are you feeling mythical
as you walk down the hall of halls
I hope you’re still on top of the world when I get home
