Baby Take My Acid

(album: Everything is Wrong - 2023)

If you're the only thing that's changed
How is it you're all that feels familiar
If you're not doing anything
Can you still call it trying to get better?

There are days it almost feels
Like I might be myself again
Wouldn't be your biggest transformation
But it'd be the most difficult one yet

So I've been trying to write songs
You'd think were good
Feels like they always come out wrong

I'd admitted to you
Something I thought I had regretted
When you said that I looked sad
I thought that you meant it like pathetic

And every explanation to myself
Of any glimmers of hope
Start sounding suspiciously
Like any (every) other lie I've ever told

Do I just know myself too well?
I'm almost positive I don't
You can't force yourself to dream

Baby, take my acid
I think you need it more than me
I could be gone this time tomorrow
So could you
I guess we'll see

Eventually everybody ends up
Where the river meets the sea
But I never wanted to be famous
So at least that's one good thing
