lyrics

I've been feeling like a waste of space.
Spinning tires in a gravel driveway,
in the house I lived in on the east side of London.
Now I'm back in that place, empty stomach and a pale white face.
Sleeping in the hallway and thinking of you always.
I've been here before, and I don't like the way it sounds
when it's just me and empty walls, like half the mountain's coming down on my head.

When it's so easy just to crawl in my bed
and watch the same three films to try to sleep.
Like anything could cure the overwhelming dread
like watching Land Before Time on repeat.

(Hey!)

I've been feeling a little bit shot. A dead engine in the parking lot.
While the weight of it all comes down made of water, and I hope I drown.
Or find another way through. Barely conscious with the thought of you.
And there's nothing I've found makes me feel safe this time around.
Here we are, and I don't like the way it sounds
when it's just me and empty walls, like half the mountain's coming down on my head.

When it's so easy just to crawl in my bed
and watch the same three films to try to sleep.
Like anything could cure the overwhelming dread
like watching Texas Chainsaw on repeat.

I've been feeling like a waste of space.
