Room Tone

(Room tone gonna swallow me whole)
(Room tone gonna swallow me whole)
(Room tone gonna swallow me whole)
Don't look me in the eyes right now
All the white noise in the world couldn't drown you out
The air tastes bitter like my coffee
Hands like razor blades upon me
Into a liminal space
Pins in my ears every time you speak 'cause
It all feels too familiar
I feel it all, every thing, every splinter
Spiralling my way to the centre
The room's not spinning if I close my eyes
Another piece of me to glamourise
The room's not spinning if I close my eyes
Turn off the lights and let me rot inside
(Room tone gonna swallow me whole)
If I have no mouth, then I can't
Scream into the void that's watching
Me, I'm like a puppet on a
String me up for everyone to see
My head's like a fishbowl, dive in
Lockjaw, need another intervention
Locked in, but can't make my own decisions
(Tw-tw-twitch so hard, I'll snap my neck in two)
'Cause it all feels too familiar
I feel it all, every thing, every splinter
Spiralling my way to the centre
Your edges splinter into me
Into me
The room's not spinning if I close my eyes (Close my eyes)
Another piece of me to glamourise (Glamourise)
The room's not spinning if I close my eyes (Close my eyes)
Turn off the lights and let me rot inside
The room's not spinning if I close my eyes (Close my eyes)
Another piece of me to glamourise (Glamourise)
I'm sick of asking everybody to be quiet
I won't eat unless you tell me to, no, I won't even sleep
This is a side I hide, a side you probably never would've seen
Someone so put together would never need this many things
I've hit my limit of complicit in the way that you see me
There is a heron by my house, I sit with him when things get loud
I love the sound of running water and I cannot stand a crowd
The way I am is all I know, there's nothing wrong with me
I am all I've ever known, there's nothing wrong with me
I am all I've ever known, there's nothing wrong with me
I am all I've ever known, there's nothing wrong with me
