fish tank
[Verse 1]
I've been in the fish tank all week
You've been peering in at me
Showing off your accolades
Showing off your pretty teeth
I felt this sense of fuzziness
The sense I don't belong
The sense that everything I've done
Has been so bad and wrong
Feeling like a frantic kid
Who still fully believes fully in magic
Bookmarking, manifestation
Checking spam, notification
[Refrain]
When does the fog lift?
When does the trick end?
When do I stop feeling freakish
In a room full of my closest friends?
When does the noise stop?
When do my eyes close?
When does the shoe drop?
When do I get home?
[Verse 2]
Growing out my fingernails
Biting back my teeth
I rid myself of all awareness
It's all keratin to me
Remembering how warm I felt
Curled up next to him
And how I didn't hate myself
The way I told myself I did
[Refrain]
When does the fog lift?
When does the trick end?
When do I stop feeling freakish
In a room full of my closest friends?
When does the noise stop?
When do my eyes close?
When does the shoe drop?
When do I get home?
