You act like you don't care
Watch you sift through the dog hair
Pretending that impotence
Solves for the dissonance
There's only a ghost there
So I pierce my skin needlessly
And get so combative so easily
I'll tell myself anger is weakness
Still can't break the sequence
It weighs on me
And a tightness starts forming
I can't seem to stomach
All the stress I'm enduring
I'll crawl just to get there
And ignore all the warning
Signs plastered everywhere
So blissfully unaware
Heading nowhere
We're heading nowhere
Point towards Appalachia
Guess that's just the aphasia sinking in
Can't muster the wherewithal
To deal with how I default
Don't mean to dissuade you
But I'm tethered and torn within
I'll covet the remnants, they're lingering
Shows up in the wisp from a hand roll
The nook off the backroad, it's glistening
And a tightness starts forming
I can't seem to stomach
All the stress I'm enduring
I'll crawl just to get there
And ignore all the warning
Signs plastered everywhere
So blissfully unaware
Heading nowhere
We're heading nowhere
