lyrics

She rolls her own cigarettes
With whatever weed's left in her pocket
And asks me if I've ever been in love
I keep telling her I'm already taken
So there's no way that she should be mistaken
But she visits my room late at night all the time
And she just won't leave me alone

She hates the world for being shallow
Yeah, she hates it for not letting her in
So she throws herself at all those misogynist boys
Who'll never let her under their skin

As we cycle in and cycle out
A constant rejection, a constant restart
It's real for her but synthetic for me
And since I've been numb, I still couldn't see the difference

She looks for the beauty in every moment
Inquires under every stone
Cuz if nature and art can fill a life with purpose
Then maybe she won't feel so damn alone
She says being stoned is like a hug from God
It keeps her calm and it keeps her from feeling
Those terrible lurches that perturb her and urge her
To drink herself to death in the bathtub

The closer I get the more she erodes
And even though I don't feel affection
She persists to pursue and I am subdued
As she grips my wrists, my ribs, my lips tightly

As we cycle in and cycle out
A constant rejection, a constant restart
It's real for her but synthetic for me
And since I've been numb, I still couldn't see
The difference

As we cycle in and cycle out
A constant rejection, a constant restart
It's real for her but synthetic for me
And since I've been numb, I still couldn't see
That she had been scared, just as scared as I'd been
When I found out that I could feel nothing again
So I'm not an ass but I think I'm diseased
But up in your tree, you can't even see the difference
