Blackest Heart - Closer Lyrics

Stuck behind these walls
We dream alone
When no one's around
Why do we stay alone
Enflamed like acetone
I think this test leads me to distress

Night terrors on the nightly
Nightmare's on my own street
Freddie boy ain't got shit on me
I'm a guaranteed socially incomplete
Daylight brings anxiety
Interaction just depresses me
Diagnosed with shity genes
I'm a guaranteed socially incomplete

I miss this city how it used to be
The years fly by as we overheat
When I get closer everyone gets colder
I'm done with the dirty looks I get in the street
Strange how strangers disconnect me
What the hell am I gonna do?
Am I too close?
Can I get closer?

The news is making noise and it's choking me out
The f*ckers on the tube are a burial ground
They'll tell us what they're paid to say and read it out loud
Irresponsible
Unstoppable
I'm always glued to the phone
Knowingly unsocially social
It kinda feels like TikTok's got me in a headlock

Night terrors on the nightly
Nightmare's on my own street
Freddie boy ain't got shit on me
I'm a guaranteed socially incomplete
Daylight brings anxiety
Interaction just depresses me
Diagnosed with shity genes
I'm a guaranteed socially incomplete

And this is how the story ends

I miss this city how it used to be
The years fly by as we overheat
When I get closer everyone gets colder
I'm done with the dirty looks I get in the street
Strange how strangers disconnect me
What the hell am I gonna do?
Am I too close?
Can I get closer?

I miss this city how it used to be
The years fly by as we overheat
When I get closer everyone gets colder
I'm done with the dirty looks I get in the street
Strange how strangers disconnect me
What the hell am I gonna do?
Am I too close?
Can I get closer?

I miss this city how it used to be
The years fly by as we overheat
When I get closer everyone gets colder
I'm done with the dirty looks I get in the street
Strange how strangers disconnect me
What the hell am I gonna do?
Am I too close?
Can I get closer?
