What’s this defense mechanism?
When all is well but it isn’t
Letting me get close enough to you
Oh as I sift through the hay
The needle pricks and it’s laced
With methamphetamine
Soaring but disintegrating
An automatic light switch
Holds for only minutes once you leave
I’m so good at shutting down
I’ve heard a million stories
I’m [no good] at foreshadowing
Why do you keep me around?
I’m damaged goods
The store’d already broke the product
When you bought it
But you lose your receipts
~ooo~
We keep it honest
Like superpowers
Waring overseas
Fingers crossed while I sign your treaty
An automatic light switch
Holds for only minutes once you leave
I’m so good at shutting down
I’ve heard a million stories
I’m [no good] at foreshadowing
Why do you keep me around?
