Compartments Lyrics

I'm pulling punches like I'm Hemingway

I'm flying faster than a Chevrolet

Turned up the music it was Lana Del Rey

It felt like sunset on a Saturday

I spent my savings all on gasoline

Slept in the airport in the mezzanine

It feels like I'm regressing to the mean

I kinda miss when I was seventeen

I used to try to shove it all into compartments

Used to get choked up in every argument

Could never let go to check on the alignment

White-knuckle desperate attempts to win your endorsement

Spent twenty-one trying to find myself

Now twenty-two and I surprise myself

I'm getting over all this illness

There's been so much of that to witness

And I'm in mourning for what could have been

I closed the curtain so it can't get in

It pierced my heart just like a javelin

Now all I'm hearing is the violence

I used to try to shove it all into compartments

Used to get choked up in every argument

Could never let go to check on the alignment

White-knuckle desperate attempts to win your endorsement

I'm pulling punches like I'm Hemingway

Faster than a Chevrolet

Listening to Del Rey

Sunset on a Saturday

Spent it all on gasoline

Sleeping in the mezzanine

I'm regressing to the mean

Miss when I was seventeen

Seventeen

Cause I used to try to shove it all into compartments
