lyrics

find yr heartbeat in the waves
water pressure beats on my brain
if we're all made of celestial debris,
i can fade into you,
so will you be me?

i want to crawl out of my body.
call it weird, natural
insult me
i dont know
what to believe
but while i shred apart;
lean on me

drown themselves and they're still embraced
i struggle simply to tread in place

i want to crawl
out of my body,
be done with this serious thing
what harm
will destruction bring?
can i float along
or will i sink?

i want to crawl
out of this body
detach from nerves,
liberate
from breathing
transcend
your calls
on my worth,
forget your esteem

it's hard to breathe around most anymore
don't abolish authenticity; there's no reward
constructed falsehoods that have formed the world
can still be deconstructed from their core

i want to crawl
out of this body
detach from nerves,
liberate
from breathing
transcend
your calls
on my worth,
forget yr esteem

-

This song is about feeling like a totally removed and clumsy weirdo. It’s about wanting to get away from yr situation and transcend what may be expected of or said about you. When I mention destruction, i want to make it clear that i'm talking about destroying and deconstructing systems that hurt you.
