Seems like everybody else can fix their problems
They identify the issues and they solve them
Well, I wish that I could have the fucking option (option, option)

Just stave it off, watch me play it off
The signal to my brain isn't working
Tryna recognise the feeling isn't worth it
But I'm holding it together on the surface
Just stave it off, watch me play it off

So go set the table
I'll show you what I'm made of
So go set the table

I wish I could pull my brains out
Serve it to you on a plate to diagnose me
Can you just tell me how it tastes and why I can't breathe?
Eat my feelings and lick the plate
I'll be feeding you things I hate
The bit that's off, the bit that rots, the bit that's rancid
Digest a part of me, so you can speak my language
Eat my feelings I wallow in, just take a bite and swallow it

Force-feed by the gallon
Won't you give me another case study to examine?
And tell me why my bones feel sad
And my stomachs in cramp and now
And now, and now

I'm overthinking 'til I short-circuit
Order everything on the menu just to hurl it
Another toxin for my guts to misinterpret

I wish I could pull my brains out
Serve it to you on a plate to diagnose me
Can you just tell me how it tastes and why I can't breathe?
Eat my feelings and lick the plate
I'll be feeding you the things I hate
The bit that's off, the bit that rots, the bit that's rancid
Digest a part of me, so you can speak my language
Eat my feelings I wallow in, just take a bite and swallow it

Cheers, it's actually quite nice in here, you know what you're getting?
Hello, sir, would you like me to read you the specials?
I'm good, I-I was thinking I'll just order
To start, we've got cold sweat soup
Chicken Caesar intrusive thought salad
Or my personal favourite, scrambled dread on toast

Well, I was just gonna stick with the salad-
If you're looking for the mains
We've got the catch of the day, self-doubt trout
Or for the vegetarians, anxiety aubergine parmigiano (uh)
Or the panic attack pavlova is to die for
Do you have anything normal?

Serve it to you on a plate to diagnose me
Can you just tell me how it tastes and why I can't breathe?
Eat my feelings and lick the plate
I'll be feeding you things I hate
The bit that's off, the bit that rots, the bit that's rancid
Digest a part of me, so you can speak my language
Eat my feelings I wallow in
Just take a bite and swallow it (perfect)
