you could sum me up in a handful
boxed in and i can't feel my fingertips
i promised i would be careful
with how i'd go about handling the scale of it
i feel it
so turn me inside out
til it's pouring from my mouth
an assemblage of my whereabouts
when it does
if it does
promise me you won't laugh
are you taken aback enough
to warrant you telling me off ?
i'm making sure i don't crack
i'm passing it onto you
i'm hoping you see it through
<instr/>
well now i'm tumbling backwards
at least that's what it feels like without a frame of reference
i promised i would be careful
but now i find myself second guessing most everything
yeah
so turn me upside down
til my brain starts spilling out
my perspective in the camera's bounds
bout time i ripped it off
promise me you won't laugh
are you taken aback enough
to warrant you telling me off ?
i'm making sure i don't crack
i'm passing it onto you
i'm hoping you see it through

block the light spill all you want
it's better than nothing in terms of a wake up call
i can tell it's partially for show
cus you overshare to the point where nothing's your own
pause for a second
recontextualise yourself in the midst of everything
don't you think it's a little unsteady ?
i'd take it as a lesson
i'm giving you the chance to terminate the thought of playing the heavy
you tell me all you needed then was a headstart
now you're just waiting around for the good part
well maybe you should take the hint
cus you just don't know when to quit
i know you've heard all the horror stories
it always ends metaphorically gory
if you're planning to commit
better put your back into it
(you think you've figured it all out)
<instr/>
think of the adults for a change
god knows they've been here longer than you have
take some time to find your bearings
you're sitting up at the back projecting into the front and it's tipping the scale
you tell me all you needed then was a headstart
now you're just waiting around for the good part
well maybe you should take the hint
cus you just don't know when to quit
what's all this about a master plan ?
what about giving spontaneity a chance ?
you told me not to fuck with it
but you're the one who let it slip
(you don't know what you're talking bout)
<instr/>
sift through the context
not everything's legible
figured you could read
<instr/>
you tell me all you needed then was a headstart
now you're just waiting around for the good part
well maybe you should take the hint
cus you just don't know when to quit
by the way i figured out your objective
you're not looking for some kind of incentive
you do it for the fuck of it
so who am i to step on in ?

don't be surprised by my hesitation
if you bother asking for my preference
i'm right between the normal distribution
cus the majority's my only reference
the question's asked; you got me stuttering
it trickles down through my mentality
some day soon you'll be the death of me
i wish that we could find an inbetween
but inbetweens are all that you are
should we finish or go back to the start ?
all those things i couldn't base on intuition
i just needed some external influence
i guess i never realised i didn't need help
oh what i'd give to stop relying on somebody else
yeah all those things i shouldn't base on intuition
let em shove me around until i make a decision
i guess i never really came clean with myself
oh what i'd give to think like somebody else
(oh what i'd give to stop relying on somebody else)
i always tell myself i should be more independent
like i'm putting my foot down
well suppose that's more on me than it is on them
could we just change the subject now ?
is this what i am ?
should i just give up these plans ?
i would get it right this time
if i could just make up my mind
<instr/>

i only get it when the moon is out
i try to cash it in before it fades away
locked up in wondering what it's about
when all that's hitting me are words from yesterday
grasping for straws over here
the weather's a little too clear
ankle deep in my ocean
i wish i were drowning
so much for hoping
cus i feel like i'm spouting lies
even when i have nothing to hide behind
cus i'm not broken like the rest of you
i'm just not coded like the rest of you
so if it seeps into my work then you'd know
i can fake it til i make it
oh god i'm not broken like the rest of you
can you just code me like the rest of you ?
am i just a vessel for them ?
nothing more than a redirect
my sleeves are getting heavy
following in my own footsteps
well what's the point if you can't see it as well ?
tryna convince myself i've been through hell
but i'm not broken like the rest of you
i'm just not coded like the rest of you
so if it seeps into my work then you'd know
i can fake it til i make it
oh god i'm not broken like the rest of you
can you just code me like the rest of you ?
swear i can talk in some capacity
it's just a matter of how
scraping the perimeter
so what's it to you now ?
what's it to you now ?
what's it to you now ?
what's it to you now ?
what's it to you now ?
i try to find a way to bring it out
shut down the second it's getting crowded
no sense in embracing what i don't know about
barricade the doors when i'm surrounded
i feel like i'm spouting lies
even when i have nothing to hide behind
cus i'm not broken like the rest of you
just code me like the rest of you

i step out
i get sore
(what) do i want ?
i'm not sure
am i scared of getting bored ?
well i think no more
bare the load a couple times
i start to get acclimatised
trust my gut and set aside
the part where no one else resides
so caught up in how i didn't think of where
where should i be headed ?
this is what i dreaded
changes in the scenery are nearly enough
just don't pull me away from where i started from
so caught up in where i didn't think of why
but i can't regret it
i should just forget it
changes in the scenery are nearly enough
just don't pull me away from where i started from
(i step out) don't overthink
(i get sore) just pick me up
(do i want ?) no guarantee
(i'm not sure) you'll ever stop
(am i scared) for all we know
(of getting bored ?) you'll probably be fine
(well i think) we might just click
(no more) is that a lie ?
<instr/>
nothing's changed yet there's a part of me that remains hopeful
why bother going places just to blend in with the locals ?
my friends are doing all the things i planned out for myself
and while i'm stuck here on an endless loop i can't help but wish them well
i'm following the street signs
i fear i'm on the decline
if nobody knows i'm out of line
why do i feel so paralysed ?
i'm following the street signs

where should i be headed ?
this is what i dreaded
changes in the scenery are nearly enough
just don't pull me away from where i started from
so caught up in where i didn't think of why
but i can't regret it
i should just forget it
changes in the scenery are nearly enough
just don't pull me away from where i started from
someone as far gone as i am would be enough to bring me back
anything just as tangible would set me back on track

giving in isn't tempting anymore
i've tried to let it happen but what for ?
because waiting won't change it
neither will forcing it
it's that thing you're always singing about
it has a meaning but i've lost it somehow
am i close to it ?
should i just get over it ?

cus it's not like this was ever forced on me
but i'm looking around and it's all i see
no matter what i do it's like the blame's on me
you say i should accept it but i can't agree
cus it's not like this was ever forced on me
but i'm looking around and it's all i see
no matter what i do it's like the blame's on me
you say i should accept it but i can't agree
i'd gotten lost in thinking i could just forget all the shit that i'm missing out on and settle for what i've got but i can't
it's always at the back of my mind
forcing it to the front doesn't help
there've been so many times i've wanted to succumb to the pressure i've put on myself to be something that i know that i can't
i'll try to live it down
but in the meantime i'll tell myself
it doesn't mean i'm broken
everybody's different
no one will even notice
i'll know it when i feel it
but will it ever happen ?
can i live without it ?
what if the doors are closing ?
am i just doomed to live without ?

strip off the rust that accumulated throughout the semester
unravel the twine that was keeping my insecurities sequestered
it's about time i re-examine the state of it all
once more i scour the deletable folders
cus why keep it at all if it'll just make me remember ?
despite that i think it's just a reflection
of saying you weren't really worth it in the end
i take it back, pardon my inflection
but now i'm only blemished by the way that it felt
i'll spend my day sitting up at the back of the room
i know, i know it's degrading
but here's to hoping i'll shame myself out
but now that i'm away
will i forget about connections that i never prolonged ?
so i sit here and consider considering making an effort
despite that i think it's just a reflection
of saying you weren't really worth it in the end
i take it back, pardon my inflection
but now i'm only blemished by the way that it felt

scramble the tracks just enough
narrow yet still walkable
leave room for me to cancel
look back at how far we've come
hoping we'll cross paths someday
the likelihood's fading away
i could say you're good enough
i could tell you all that you're afraid of
i could say what it's about
i could tell you no one has it figured out
but you already know
we're one and the same
but we'll walk alone
i'm not your saving grace
<instr/>
i know it shouldn't matter
but it's almost in my control
you'll rummage through notes i left
and think about where they could've ended up
and if we meet at a border
we'll lock eyes then turn away
you might just be grateful i didn't give you the time of day instead
i could say you're good enough
i could tell you all that you're afraid of
i could say what it's about
i could tell you no one has it figured out
truthfully there's not much i can do
it's only relevant to a certain version of me right now
truthfully i think i idolise you
so don't beat yourself up for thinking that you're unworthy now
the tears are burning my eyes
knowing i can't give you the peace of mind you need
cus truthfully there's nothing i can do
<instr/>
overestimated the number of onlookers
interpreted your advice as fallacies
kept my mouth shut to avoid the confrontation
not quite tapped into different shades of me
watched friendships rot from behind the monitor
no frame of reference for what love can look like
deathly afraid of boredom
romanticise walking away
i can make it up to you somehow <3

A deeply haunting album with some of the best story telling in modern pop music. A wide web of interconnected character portraits, and probably the most visceral first listen of my life up to the point of my first listen. A deeply engrossing album that exceeds the hype. In the words of fishmonger era underscores "its the new wave of the future"
