lyrics
Alone and lost in M.O.A.
Realizing their floors actually don’t fade
Their pristine wax shimmers like light off a placid lake
And all the models I walk by
Wearing unworn clothes with cocaine eyes
Wide stares zippered glistening smiles
I just keep looking down
Anxious eye contact makes me sick
Gently hum, peruse the piles of plastic
What am I doing here
What am I looking to buy
Some enemy to define myself against
I can’t even hate this place
I can’t even hate this place
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You’ve outlived yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling so lost
All the time
Dwarfed by its cavernous halls
Drowned out by footsteps, aimless calls
Thin fluorescent light and fluoride air
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You can’t trust yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling anxious
All the time
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You don’t own yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling sold to
All the time
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You’ve don’t know yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling angry
All the time
Realizing their floors actually don’t fade
Their pristine wax shimmers like light off a placid lake
And all the models I walk by
Wearing unworn clothes with cocaine eyes
Wide stares zippered glistening smiles
I just keep looking down
Anxious eye contact makes me sick
Gently hum, peruse the piles of plastic
What am I doing here
What am I looking to buy
Some enemy to define myself against
I can’t even hate this place
I can’t even hate this place
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You’ve outlived yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling so lost
All the time
Dwarfed by its cavernous halls
Drowned out by footsteps, aimless calls
Thin fluorescent light and fluoride air
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You can’t trust yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling anxious
All the time
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You don’t own yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling sold to
All the time
I know it’s hard
Feeling like
You’ve don’t know yourself
I know it’s hard
Feeling angry
All the time
