Song about anxious-preoccupied attachment. Instrumental is All Ready Ghost by Crack Moses.


I was left unfinished, the cavities only torture me ()

Half deranged from phantom pain, the passing days go horribly ()

Shipped and sold defective, never covered under warranty ()

Vacuum sealed for freshness long before there was a quarantine ()


When the trauma left a crater, you learn to accept the danger

Knowing that your life support can never have a generator

Putting on your best behavior, looking toward a mental savior ()

Preemptive plans, permuted perfectly on pen and paper


Simulate the situation over for a thousand cycles ()

Got solutions but the one you're stuck with now is final

Now denial runs a thousand more () like you gouged the vinyl ()

White knuckles clenched around the wheel of a salvage title


Painfully taking me from my basic needs and place to be ()

Changing scenes to braving seas of vacancy endangers me ()

Faced with latent seeds of hate and grief, you claim that we

Can stay at peace with loss of agency so gracefully ()


*


Pass the intersection of the endings that we hoped and dreaded

Know it's headed in morose directions as is most expected

Codependent, so pathetic, hopeless though I don't defend it

Sabotage to cure uncertainty of what was open-ended ()


How it got so ugly, why am I so hard and crusty?

Underscore the unsupported youngun and you're on the money

More hopeless than romantic, () a broken-hearted junkie

Harlow's monkeys gone from warm and comfy down to dark and dusty


Time in isolation viewed as introspective hell ()

Lines of perforation through the independent self

Hikikomori sleeping poorly, really never helps ()

Repeating stories bleak and stormy, () bidding a farewell ()


Negative space () sinks its teeth in like a parasite ()

Scavenged broken parts from open arms to repair the bite

I feel the hole preventing me being my own entity

One piece set, () inner peace sold separately
