lyrics

i'm here watching this become part of my history
i will not pretend but i will distance myself
and wait and later
pick out the nasty parts
and give them back with rhythm
my entire recollection
become bleak and underwhelming
closer to the truth
but i got a bassline in my stomach
and i wonder where you are now

twist the truth and make it hate you
i am a walking punch line
twist the truth and make it hurt you
i am a walking punch line

the room gets darker
and everything seems louder
the room gets darker
and everything seems closer

in a black room
i made friends with you
in a perfect world
you would know me by now
but you've got no idea who i am
i could be anyone
you chose this
i'm in the living room
turning to dust
let go of my hand
turning to the comfort of the animal inside
always watching
and holding my other hand

the room gets darker
and everything seems louder
the room gets darker
and everything seems closer

in a black room i made friends with you
in a black room i made friends with you
