"Eye Sore" lyrics

"Eye Sore"

I can't turn it off
So then I deafen myself
I need a break from the edge
I should check in with myself
I wanna go for a swim
In a lake where it's sweltering
Sensation of falling
From the shore in the dark

I need poise
Maybe a break from the boys
More in the picture
Than liquor and chores
I want a prescription
A quick little solve
For all of my setbacks
Can we forget that?

Am I sure that
All this is happening
Am I just an actor
Who's overreacting
I miss the days when
Nothing would happen
And I could just show up

Don't wanna be a new age
Eye sore
Secular phase full of false doors
Modernity fucks you with your clothes on
Now the real thing feels so wrong
I need a break from
All my symptoms
Chemical fucking with my system
Gotta be a better way to wake up
Than with an eye sore
And my phone on

21 years to speak up for myself
And when I knew what to say
Still nothing came out
Because I'm hollow inside
Priorities melted
A black metal void
In the shape of a heart

Am I sure that
All this is happening
Am I just an actor
Who's overreacting
I miss the days when
Nothing would happen
And I could just show up

Don't wanna be a new age
Eye sore
Secular phase full of false doors
Modernity fucks you with your clothes on
Now the real thing feels so wrong
I need a break from
All my symptoms
Chemical fucking with my system
Gotta be a better way to wake up
Than with an eye sore
And my phone on
