Chorus:
I need a sign or something
A cigarette or a psychiatrist
And I could swear to you that I’m not usually like this
But I would only sound self-righteous
And it’s a lie
To make you more comfortable 
And to make me more palatable 
God forbid I’m infallible 
Or just someone you don’t like 

Verse 1:
Do I reek of desperation?
Can you smell it on me?
I’m not good with confrontation
Can’t you tell I’m sorry?
Do I reek of desperation?
Can you smell it on me?
I’m not good with confrontation
Can’t you tell I’m sorry?
Do I seem a little paranoid?
Yeah, can you sense it?
‘Cause I can’t tell whether you’re annoyed
Or apprehensive 

I need a sign or something
I need a sign or something
I need a sign or something (something)
I need a sign or something (something)

Bridge:
Oh, I need the clouds to part, or the sun to freeze
I need Jesus Christ himself to please 
Just put my pretty head at ease 
Oh, just put my pretty head at ease
I need the clouds to part, or pills to take
Or maybe I just need a break
I don’t know why the real world feels so fake
Chorus:
I need a sign or something
A cigarette or a psychiatrist
And I could swear to you that I’m not usually like this
But I would only sound self-righteous
And it’s a lie

i need a sign (or something)

u know the brain gymnastics you do when most of you wants nothing to do with them but a tiny but loud part of you feels the exact opposite ….

lyrics:
oh, i wish i could write you 
but i'm a shit friend 
plus, i lost all my pens
i think i bled them dry
or i left them at the library
i'm lying through my teeth but
have some pity on me, pretty please, oh

i don't need forgiveness
only understanding 
lately i've been living 
on another planet
and i can't hear you all the way from earth
your messages i'm declining 
'cause i can't stand my climate
yeah, i can't hear you all the way from earth
there's too many rules to follow
too many pills to swallow

i'm inconvenient as i'm imploding, input noted
i'm inconvenient as i'm imploding, input noted
you call the professionals and i'll call myself a...
i'm inconvenient as i'm imploding
as my whole system is overloading, input noted
you call the professionals and i'll call myself a poet

they told me to love myself and i think i do
but i'm not sure if i like her and i wonder if i even want to 
but now i'm just rambling
i don't need forgiveness 
i don't need forgiveness

oh, i wish i could write you 
but i'm a shit friend 
yeah, i'm such a shit friend
prisoner of my own mind and the guards don't take well to fighters
so i sit and spread wider
prisoner of my own mind, what crime we're guilty of
i'm none the wiser
try to find out and you're a lifer

thy kingdom come, thy will be done
they say god absolves all of his sons
but i'm not too demanding
i don't need forgiveness
only understanding

only understanding

You can tap on the glass
It never breaks it never cracks
You can watch me if you want
Performing tricks until they say I’m done

Somewhere some way
I’ll be far far away
Where I can sleep under the sun
Instead of my vivarium
Don’t be afraid
I don’t bite 
Don’t know why they keep me inside this cage
Don’t be afraid
I don’t bite 
Don’t know why they keep me inside this cage

Somewhere some way
I’ll be far far away
Where I can sleep under the sun
Instead of my vivarium 
Performed their tricks until I said I’m done

(Lonely heartbeat moving slowly)
Don’t be afraid
I don’t bite 
Don’t know why they keep me inside this cage
(Lonely heartbeat moving slowly)
Don’t be afraid
I don’t bite 
Don’t know why they keep me inside this cage
I don’t bite
Don’t know why they keep me inside this cage

Vivarium

lyrics:

i’ve been learning a language
every day, i get a little more fluent
i’ve been turning the pages
every day, i know more about you

learning all of your favorites
and how you sleep on your back 
how you sleep like a corpse 
i make fun of you for that

been trying to keep my balance
but you’re pushing me over
tell myself it’s not romance
but every day, it feels closer

learning all your phrases
and how you sound when you’re tired
the things that make you happy
the things that make you cry

working on conjugation
memorize your inflections
intaking information
making the same connections

sharing friends and “goodnight”s
i love to see you laughing
it’s like you’re mine but not quite
but look at all the fun we’re having

there’s ribbons in my hair
watch them fly in the wind
tied loosely but it’s there
remind us where we’ve been
shoelaces pulled tightly
double tied, just in case
i run into you today

i’ve been studying movements
the things that go unspoken
there’s still room for improvement
but i won’t fix what’s not broken

i’m getting better at reading
and at telling the differences
between the ways you’re speaking
understand all your references

you’ve learned all of my phrases
books i need to finish
how i talk when i’m angry
and when i get analytic
stay through all my phases
complain about the weather
a story for the ages
a novel in a letter
we’ve been learning a language 
i think we’re getting fluent
speaking like a native
sounding more like you 
and i know all of your favorites
and you know all of mine
i met you for a reason
let’s sit for a while
