von All Get Out

If I′m jumping off point, alone in the desert
Barking at mirrors again
Once thought you a habit
Religious or not, it seems pretty clear you've been made

Watch you in action, and you were the smart one
Me, I′m an archive of fear
Space on a shelf, pages unworn
And I'm sitting closer to you every year

I feel above it, I swim in the privilege
I found you, the one that I love
And then I sink
Beautiful people, they die just like you every year
I wonder where you come from
I'm so anxious, you′re just numb
I could wait here
Oh, I′ll just wait here


Am I jumping off point, alone in the desert?
Biting my nails 'til they bleed
Once found it a habit
Oh, had I learned I could quit anything, I would drink

Look for you at my station, you were the smartest
And I have an archive each year
Space on that shelf, and the pages untouched
And I′m sitting closer to you every year

I feel beneath it, I swim in your privilege
I find you, the one that I love
And then I think
Well, beautiful people, they die just like you every week
I wonder where you come from
I'm so anxious, you′re just numb
Oh, I could wait here
Oh, I'll just wait here

If they don′t have much to say
At least they should know your name
An awkward moment's score
At best, they could know where you are


Still, I wonder where you come from
I'm so anxious, you′re just calm
I could wait here
Oh, I′ll just wait here
Not much left to say, if anything
The least they can do is know your name
It's awkward enough at the start
At best, they could know where we are
