i’ve had enough of staring at the window or the walls
i’ve gotten to the point where i won’t answer any calls
shove it down my throat but i will think it right on out
nobody’s looking but me, and god, it feels like i could shout
i don’t wanna do it
i don’t wanna play
i don’t think i want to be perceived today
even if i could crawl into a cave all by myself
i would go crazy and i know i’d never call for help
it’s not even that i really just want to be alone
i just don’t like people thinking of me all on their own
i don’t wanna do it
i don’t wanna play
i don’t think i want to be perceived today
i don’t make it happen
i can’t make it stop
send me to the broken person repair shop
need a second opinion
on what is in my brain
maybe we can swap bodies
just for today

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
