Blushes & Neck Pains Lyrics by Newdles

Abolition of Self

2016

[Intro]
Your act is eroded
Your demeanor still holds for its sake
And I know you and I see you
I know what you go home to at night
(And I don't know what to do but pray for your comfort)
[Verse]
She's the store brand of her older sister
She's an emotion-dripping wash rag
Her hands weld to the inside of her brandless hoodie pouch
She's looking down like the ground seems really interesting
Then again so does the sky, trees, and anything besides what's in front of her
She's just a girl with graphite dirted on the outside of one finger
Can't you see her? Look!
Watch her rationalize that she enjoys being quarantined from an average life
She's just an independent madam, right?
That's a lie unmasked by her impulse divulge of her cat's love life
She's just clay pining for more clay to ball into
(Which is us all if we weren't glued)
And she can express herself two ways: art and embarrassing others
There's rarely a third but when neither one works, sometimes...
Sometimes she screams
But only when she's alone in her bedroom
Because sometimes you want to be understood but not heard
Sometimes your likable side is afraid of the sunlight
And sometimes you wanna just cry cause you're tired of fighting with your mind for control of the steering wheel
So please, don't believe in these feelings, don't
Your mind is a liar as long as you tell it it's wrong
(But I can't promise it'll stop)
Her pencils don't bandage but they're the only tools she's given
So she illustrates a reality that could drown the one we live in
You can keep the sympathy, that just validates her pseudo-critics
You can save the award of "nice person", that's a painful euphemism
She dreams of putting arms through other arms, but she can't get it
So she sketches two in bed, consumed by flesh like a waning crescent
Her stomach pangs for intimacy, her throat's dry of love
Can't you hear it through her fetal posture and every unrequited touch?
[Outro]
And if you go down in history as a blush and a neck pain
Don't suppose that I couldn't relate
And if you go down in history as a blush and a neck pain
Those pages are vain to the length of eternity's reign
