[Verse 1]
I don't want to cry in your t-shirt ever again
Well, my anger was a compliment
I like how your brain works
Magical thinkers trying to be friends
Tried to let you forget me but
My celtic cross was heavy
When it hit your fucking teeth
I'm sorry you felt undermined
Now I'm trying to make a racket
In the back of your mind

[Chorus]
I try to wait the night out
Try to keep the light out
We've only the moon left to outsmart
But we cannot want our way out of the dark

[Verse 2]
I've got agency, but imagine me laying naked in your lap
Before a gathering of screaming fans, I'm your guitar
Mute me gently with the palm of your hand
So self-conscious, awareness was the catalyst
I'm scared, I close my eyes and picture this
Summer corn, a tea tree toothpick
A new song that makes you wanna make music
