lyrics

i read your story today - about how to escape from your body
without leaving your apartment
i read your story today - you didn't leave a name

but you said 'the heart is deceitful above all else'
but we are not made of autonomous creatures
you aren't the sum of your body's decisions
the heart is deceitful

there was a boy - i don't know him
but i feel like i remember everything
and there's a feeling i remember - here and there
i just can't name

but he said 'the heart is deceitful above all else'
but we are not made of autonomous creatures
you aren't the sum of your body's decisions
the heart is deceitful

and i am deceitful above all else
i am an ocean of microbes and bile and salt
i am a brick wall
refusing to change - even as my edges are worn away

it's not somatic - but i can feel it
like i'd breathe too deep and step beyond my skin

and i don't know my name half the time when i wake up
i followed your voice, and it told me
there's a lens behind my eye
and my view is watercolor

i heard your voice on the phone, and suddenly, i stepped out of myself
