Laurel Leaf (Anhedonia)

[Intro]

So

We were sleeping and then I heard a sound in the living room

And Daddy came to go check

And then [? 0:10] it's a body

And, and, I don't know [?], like

The body had, like, a speaker in its hand

And, and then [?] goes, dun-dun-dun-da

[Verse 1]

All the things I told myself and I heard nothing

Every lie I sold myself 'til I quit buying

Found the inner activist and killed her quiet

Buried under processing, but she's been climbing

[Refrain]

Up in my tree, I have all I could really need

And the fork in my tongue troubles no one

Shame and relief to be finally, truly seen

As I am, as I'll be, as I'vе been

[Verse 2]

All the nights I cut myself and I felt nothing

Murdеr every messenger, but they keep coming

Cultivate your loneliness 'til you're a loner

Cradle your anxiety and anhedonia

[Refrain]

Down at the end of your day in the mess you've made

And the bones of your bed, she's a shipwreck

What's in a name or a face or a garden grave?

Stomach-sick at the turn of the trick

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Left waiting on the airlift out

Stuck straining for the punchline now

[Refrain]

Worry away your pretensions of guile and grace

What's the last thing you said?: "God's a basehead

Spinning in place, never fazed by the risks he takes"

Then you fell through the floor on a low, so pure

When you spread at the surf, did your teeth hurt?

Almost awake, I await a redemption day

Laurel leaf, you'll be all I can see

[Outro]

All the signs I showed myself and I saw nothing

All the signs I showed myself and I saw nothing
