are you serious?

(album: placeholder - 2019)

In between the tantrums
I know there's understanding
There just has to be
Otherwise why'd you mean so much to me?
And you up on the hill with your marble and your fabrics
You arrange by size
Take me out of place and out of line

She speaks clearly, tongue against her teeth
I walk backwards, slowly spiraling
To a place I used to fear
Hey, how'd we get back here?
Are you serious?

Using words like multiplicity
"Hey, how'd you get so much of me?"
Well, I gave it to you
Seemed like the right thing for me to do
Fall back into your patterns
And then who decides what matters
When there are two of us?
You were out of reach and I was out of touch

She speaks clearly, tongue against her teeth
I walk backwards, slowly spiraling
To a place I used to fear
Hey, how'd we get back here?
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Walk back to your apartment
The wallpaper, the garden
It all fades away
In the bathtub with clay on my face
