lyrics

Am I an alien abducted?
Walking in circles through every field
Am I a ghost that haunts you?
Appearing once a month to keep you up all night

And whatever you want me to be
I don't know if I can, but for you I'd try
It's a well-intentioned lie and it goes:
[sick riff]

Am I texting from the afterlife?
3 knives in the fire, and fire on yr tongue
And do you still think of me as a man?
I wanna be an amorphous blob, in a dream I was pretty

And whatever you want me to be
I don't know if I can, but for you I'd try
It's a well-intentioned lie and it goes:
[sick riff]

An abstract body
An imperial pathology
A malleable entity
Embracing change, embracing change

And whatever you want me to be
I don't know if I can, but for you I'd try
Four paper cups, downed at the bottom of the garden
Flipped but acceptable, we'll be alright
It's a well-intentioned lie and it goes:
[sick riff]
