lyrics

I need a street vendor
To sell maps
So my lovers can see
Where my emotions are at
I was never good at directions
Or street names
Just good at hiding behind my eyes
And acting the same
I thought it was self-important
To lay them out like a picnic?
“I can do it myself”
Is my favorite blanket statement

*Poor, fragile attempts
Poorer at getting a grip
But I’ve grown a little bit
Stable repentance
Unsure if I’m getting the hang of this
But I’ve grown quite a bit*

I’ve asked and no one knows
What I’m talking about
“You’re not afraid they’ll find out
The longer they stick around?”
I guess it’s just me
And my congregation of self-doubts
When you get real close
I’m afraid you’re gonna sniff them out
But I’m getting there
With every appointment I make
They say I spend too much time
Mulling over my mistakes

*Poor, fragile attempts
Poorer at getting a grip
But I’ve grown a little bit
Stable repentance
Unsure if I’m getting the hang of this
But I’ve grown quite a bit*

The bottom of my face
Smiles apart from my eyes
A trait most people miss
But I analyze
Is it faking it
If my mask is something I despise?
It’s just a tool I use
To quietly slip by
But I promise I’d rather
Jump into your fights
Than go alone
Wrestling with mine

*Poor, fragile attempts
Poorer at getting a grip
But I’ve grown a little bit
Stable repentance
Unsure if I’m getting the hang of this
But I’ve grown quite a bit*
