lyrics

It's those weird dreams where you get no rest and alternate realities play out in your head.
It's an enigmatic, paralyzing paradox - a conundrum then your time is up.
I see me and my bucktoothed grin. The 7 year old child that was squirming within
with my glasses pushed to the bridge of my nose, taking my imagination wherever I go.

Cuz I'm a mashed couch potato today
And every strand of hair is going every which way.
And I am clean but I feel dirty too
Spacing out and drifting off and wondering what I'd do to you

Overthinking til I overheat
Collapsing on my bed til I am sick of the scene
I find solace in dreams - but I oversleep
And wake up more exhausted then I started.
The atmosphere is in your voice. It's calling out to me like I had a choice.
I'll be your puppet, your friend, an enemy, a Romulan
Let me know I exist by word of mouth or a grin.

I'm just bored. I wanna feel
(To drink, to smoke, to touch, to love)
what's real, understand the meaning of everything to me
(you're everything to me)
But I'm a dodecagon - complicated and complex - can't take a compliment - or laugh at myself at others expense
