Lyrics

SURFACE TENSION

What is my doctor gonna say
When he finds out I've been up all night every day
It probably wouldn't matter anyway
It probably wouldn't matter anyway
How's it feel when it falls out of focus
How's it feel when nobody even notice
Fuck love, fuck friends, fuck showbiz
Seven plagues coming down like locusts
I don't think I really wanna know this
I don't think I really wanna-
Surface tension
You know I love you, dear
But I can't even look in the mirror
Everybody's toxic
Everybody wants it
You know I love you, dear
But I, I gotta get outta here
I just wanna touch, be noticed
Every move, see me for a moment
You know I could give you everything fancy
I could leave a cut, scream blood like a banshee
I don't think I really wanna-
Surface tension
You know I love you, dear
But I wanna disappear
Everybody's toxic
Everybody wants it
You know I love you, dear
But I, I gotta get outta here
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Warum ist die Welt so eine Bitch?
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Was ist Hass? Was ist Liebe, oder
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Warum ist die Welt so eine Bitch?
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Was ist Hass? Was ist Liebe oder which is which?
I don't think I really wanna know this
I don't think I really wanna-
Surface tension
You know I love you, dear
But I can't even look in the mirror
Everybody's toxic
Everybody wants it
You know I love you, dear
But I, I gotta get outta here
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Warum ist die Welt so eine Bitch?
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Was ist Hass? Was ist Liebe, oder
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Warum ist die Welt so eine Bitch?
Ich versteh' dieses Gefühl nicht
Was ist Hass? Was ist Liebe oder which is which?
I don't think I really wanna know this
I don't think I really wanna-
