lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I'm exaggerating
What I feel in all I do
Contrived reactions I'm overstating
Stretching the truth
There's not much here until I inflate it
Into something I could use
But I gotta do something to keep my heart pumping, don't I?

Pre-Chorus:
Rarely care enough and when I do
It's about all the wrong things
So I let it rattle around in the emptiness
Live for the sound

Chorus:
But I'm imagining a story of
Tragedy and euphoria
I wanna be immersed in every second
Ready to burst, I-I'd be electric
Thrilled or moved, I wanna feel a rush
But it's all overcast and it's not enough
Wanna plunge in headfirst
But I'm in a desert
Trying to make my muted tones vibrant

I could search for somewhere cinematic
Lose myself far away
Or I could just fidget and tear up plastic
The hours disintegrate
Echoes, obsessions, diversions, slapstick
Don't quite fill the space
But I gotta do something as lethargy numbs me, don't I?

I wanna feel an orchestra swell in my ribs
When will I wake up to fireworks and snap out of this?

Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus

If I could be a little kid again
When my world was entwined with my vivid inventions
I was awful, but isn't that how we all begin?
I was a queen and untouchable

If I could go back to this time last year
Knowing tomorrow, this place will disappear
My mind was turning party tracks into hymns
I was full

Sometimes I feel like I'm exaggerating
What I feel in all I do
Contrived reactions I'm overstating
Stretching the truth
There's not much here until I inflate it
Into something I can use

Repeat Chorus
