​strangers introduce me to you

Cancelling subscriptions, cutting legs off of jeans
Old friends' faces on dying phone screens
Mistaking being drunk for having fun
Put the absinthe in the cupboard when you are done

Pretending that I enjoy wasting your time
Adoring your grit and ignoring your grime
Not saying a word about our future or past
But believing for some reason that these heathens could last

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole
I'll carve you a mouth to speak with
Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors
I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout thе time I spent keeping control
I'll carve you a hеart to beat with
Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe
As strangers introduce me to you

I'm still getting emails to the wrong address
In the next room, they swear that they'll clean up my mess
We're halfway out the door before you swoop
Up this whole new generation of kids to dupe

They drain out all your blood til you're nice and clean
They repaint all your walls a sickly green
I will save face and say you look great
Hoping that you're crumbling under dead weight

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole?
I'll carve you a mouth to speak with
Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors
I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent keeping control?
I'll carve you a heart to beat with
Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe
As strangers introduce me to you

Didn't you like what we made together
Didn't you like all the people we helped
I thought all our names would fade together
At least I thought that's how it felt

At least you were experience
A stolen makeup brush
To try and make up for all that you owe me

And I know it's not that serious
But hey, what's the rush
Where's that new, improved self you wanted to show me?

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole?
I'll carve you a mouth to speak with
Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors
I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent keeping control?
I'll carve you a heart to beat with
Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe
As strangers introduce me to you
