lyrics

There are people in your life you never see
And these people all want to be me
There are people who are smarter than me
I keep them in a cellar underground

There's a vending machine
And it won't stop talking to me
I tried to keep it quiet, I tried to make it see
But it makes an evil sound

There are people in the forest
And they're all watching me
I tried to climb a mountain, I tried to swim a sea
But it just defeated me

I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Is it over?
I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Is it over?
I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Please be over.

Stop, look, there it goes again
the world is changing outside of my head
and everything I ever knew
and all my fears run away from you
and the burning aching constant nausea
of looking out the window and being so far from you
Because it's you, sweetie it's you,
Hello, hello, I miss you

And my world is divided into pieces it's bitter
And I'm left all alone, all alone here to shiver
And everything I ever wanted to give her
Flows out of me like an endless river

Today I found a skeleton
Buried in the ground outside of my house
I dug it up and glued the pieces together
Hoping for a dinosaur
