lyrics

so you're feeling abused
well I'm not sorry for that yet
I'm not ready to regret
I'm not ready

my phone goes off at eight
background seared into my brain
and I'm not ready to be sane
I'm not ready

fortieth feels calm today
hope I wasn't wrong to blame

took the last train at twelve
turn my head off for a sec
matrix light bulbs flashing red
and I'm not ready

go sleep at three AM
a novice thief, a head asleep
unearthed feelings never seen
come to light now

fortieth feels calm today
hope I wasn't wrong to blame
hopeful eyes, a song to name
after all this, it feels just the same
after all this, turns out it was a game

I walk the street with bitter tea
all I got, all I'll ever need
life has never been less real
I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel

I walk the street with bitter tea
all I got, all I'll ever need
'cause life has never been less real
I just wanna feel
