Impersonal Hell

You said, "Lay your head down soft and slowly" You said, "When we get to where we're going, you won't feel lonely" So, I let the gravel rock me to sleep With a heavy eyed horizon stretched out in front of me I was only tryna satisfy Your non-committal frame of mind If I could trust you, I could trust myself But you love me like I'm someone else But I just woke up in a town Where everyone else is in on the joke And it's me And I've been crying for help Like everyone else You bring here to leave This impersonal hell You made for me You're so generic, so please excuse me If I feel like a cardboard cutout in your movie So, I let you walk me scene through scene And you tell me 'bout the loves you've lost While you've been settling for me I shouldn't have to wonder if it's me When you talk about your sweet baby And God forbid there's an emergency Would I qualify as family? But I just woke up in a town Where everyone else is in on the joke And it's me And I've been crying for help Like everyone else You bring here to leave This impersonal hell You made for me And every character you demonized Could have been another friend of mine And every part of me you tried to hide Was a piece that someone else might like It took a while after you left me here But the heavy eyed horizon cleared And when she went and introduced herself I learned you loved me like everybody else So when you wake up in this town Just know that everyone else Is in on the joke, and it's you, baby If this is our ground Well, then we'll burn it down Whenever we want to Here's your personal hell I made it just for you She says, "Lay your head down soft and slowly" She said, "When we get to where we're going, you won't feel lonely"
