The Observer (feat. Kristy Garrett)

Today marks a year, living out on our own

Dewey eyes been feeling dry now that I'm grown

You come home, collapse, and say it's getting bad

We're young and we're dumb so why the hell are we so sad

I ask don't you miss back when we were kids

Before some rotten piece of shit took over our heads

'Cus I do

And I wish he were gone

But we can try to kick his ass before 21

And I know you tell me that I'm more than just my thoughts, that I'm the observer

But what good does self-awareness do me if I can't stop myself from slipping further

Slipping further away from you

And everyone I care about

Slipping further away from you

And I'd like to be the wind in your sails

But I can't even stop myself from biting my nails

I'll try to be strong for you, try to just fake it

The last thing you need right now is emotional contagion

I know you tell me that I'm more than just my thoughts, and maybe that's true

But what good does self-awareness do us if I'm not strong enough to be there for you

Slipping further away from you

The only one I care about

Slipping further away from you
