I met a pretty noose,
nevermind she says she wants me dead.
I'm not alone in my head,
the shutdown's brutal, it's nothing but a reflex.
I hope you're better on airplanes,
I hope your therapist is nice.
I hope you're happy in the city
and you don't think of me.
I am coming back slowly,
growing back each part of me
I ripped off to feel clean.
It's not that bad,
you're just a simple spectre
making rounds in my head.
I am high on visibility,
you're ignoring all the streetlights,
one day you won't stop on time.
You never see me.
I put a lock on my door,
I stopped writing anything down.
If we are in each other's trials,
you are pointing dead-straight at me.
I am raising my hand willingly,
telling them that it was me,
and still you kick your feet.
I watch you kick your feet.
It's not that bad,
you're just a simple spectre
making rounds in my head.
I am high on visibility,
you're ignoring all the streetlights,
one day you won't stop on time.
You'll never see me.
I said it, "I'm sorry," I mean it, I do.
I said it, I'm sorry, I meant it too.
I said it, "I'm sorry," I mean it, I do.
I said it, I'm sorry I meant it too.
I said it, "I'm sorry," I mean it, I do.
But you think I'm a liar,
there's nothing to do.
I never meant anything to you.
It's not that bad.
You're just a simple spectre
making rounds in my head.
I am tired of the visibility,
I am begging you to stop.
