"bird brain" lyrics

Oh, I can't seem to find no replacement
Try so hard, but I can't escape your pull, please come home
She ran off and fell in love with an actor
Left me all alone chasing after ghosts, free my soul

I'm so sick of the nostalgia, I need something real
But you're so manufactured, do you even feel?
All these hollow gestures, don't know what they mean
I wear a cheap disguise 'cause I don't want you to see
That I'm running out of options, caught up in a lie
I wish I could act like you're never on my mind
Searching for distractions, need a little peace
Every now and then, I don't really wanna think 'bout

All the mistakes I made, still never change my ways
Not like I could, knocking on wood
Hate to repeat myself, you left me on the shelf
Grasping at straws, what's going on?

What's going on? What's going on?
Somebody tell me, what's going on?

I can't seem to find no replacement
Try so hard, but I can't escape your pull, please come home
She ran off and fell in love with a bastard
Left me all alone chasing after ghosts, free my soul

Now I'm fighting with temptation, paranoid as hell
There's poison in the water and my body is a shell
Running 'round in circles, caught up in a loop
Who do you become when it's finally time to choose
Between jumping in the deep end and living in the past?
I'm tossing in my sheets until I turn 'em into rags
All my contradictions finally start to show
But if I get the chance, I think maybe I could grow from

All the mistakes I made, I've got to change my ways
Know that I should, knocking on wood
Hate to repeat myself, you just put me through hell
Grasping at straws, love all my flaws

Love my flaws, love my flaws, love my flaws
