lyrics

a woman lies awake on an unmade bed
she’s tried in vain to sleep and now it’s 4 a.m.
the harder she tries, the harder it gets to be
okay in this world that doesn’t want her around
the flickering streetlight outside her apartment
is the eye that’s always watching on the other side
of the glass, the creature tapping on her windowpane
she gets up and sees only her reflection in the dark

there’s nobody out there, there’s nobody out there
there’s nobody in here, there’s nobody in here
her heart is an open book, is an open palm
reach inside and you’ll find only air
only words, only a heart beating

a woman lies awake on an unmade bed
it’s 4 p.m. but she hasn’t budged yet — she feels too
sick to move, her stomach screaming for something
but getting up now is out of the question
an overcast grey filters into the room through blinds
she hasn’t dusted in weeks. her apartment is
disgusting. everything she does is disgusting to her
but doing nothing is so much worse

there’s nobody out there, there’s nobody out there
there’s nobody in here, there’s nobody in here
her heart is an open book, is an open palm
reach inside and you’ll find only air
only words, only

mirrors inside mirrors inside layers of glass inside veins full of blood and a heart full of ash inside a body that is crumbling into sand in an hourglass her clock is ticking to find out who she is — she has a list of all the people she wants to be — she has a list of all the things that she’s not, she’s not sure of anything, the uncertainty etching away all the layers until there’s nothing left of her
