Lyrics

Porter Robinson — Is There Really No Happiness?

I remember the family PC

There was snow in the hallways

There was blood on my teeth

Growing blind to the butterflies around me

Knowing I'd remember it accurately

Like a joke, I swear that I wrote

I know I'm not alone and wondering

The vertigo of tryna get close
