are you ever just 150 lemurs in a trench coat? no? can't relate.
tw for potential unreality and death mentions. it's not a particularly heavy song, but it is a bit venty.
i kind of hated
the mirrors in the room
there weren't any before
but here, i've got two
and it was fun at first
we'd play and laugh and dance
but today i looked in and
someone else was looking back
... and then i remembered.
all day we'd been hunched over
to explore a world i knew
i'd forgotten that i'm here
and it's all so sick and cruel
and how am i supposed to take it
when death covers all these faces?
these memories are borrowed
and these hands are not my own
the notes that i am singing
come from someone else's throat
someone take me home
but my home is in my head
and the people that can make it
they're bound to wind up dead
help me remember
who i am, who i wanted to be
before the things that happened
tossed me out to sea...
[speak]
there's a wall in my head
and sometimes that wall...
it crushes me
and then it's tomorrow
or later today
or next week
and one day, what if it's never?

Some heavy lyrics in there, dressed up with the upbeat sound of the uke. Venty is good! Thanks for sharing.
