[Verse 1]
You carry an illness
Practically know it by name
It seldom speaks for you
You learned to tune it away
But it wasn’t easy
[Verse 2]
Was fond of your writing
It allowed me to see into you
You hid behind the similes
Like fractal light in all shades of blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Pebbles and mirrors
[Chorus 1]
I’m just
Jealous because I tried mapping out your mind’s
Inconsistent ways, tangled and untied
I watched your ends start to fray, you felt
Buried from the start, tearing you apart
Constricting the free beating of your heart
I knew your postcard would say
“Wish you could stay, wish you felt the same way”
You carry an illness
Practically know it by name
It seldom speaks for you
You learned to tune it away
But it wasn’t easy
[Verse 2]
Was fond of your writing
It allowed me to see into you
You hid behind the similes
Like fractal light in all shades of blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Pebbles and mirrors
[Chorus 1]
I’m just
Jealous because I tried mapping out your mind’s
Inconsistent ways, tangled and untied
I watched your ends start to fray, you felt
Buried from the start, tearing you apart
Constricting the free beating of your heart
I knew your postcard would say
“Wish you could stay, wish you felt the same way”
