strangers introduce me to you Lyrics

Cancelling subscriptions, cutting legs off of jeans

Old friends' faces on dying phone screens

Mistaking being drunk for having fun

Put the absinthe in the cupboard when you are done

Pretending that I enjoy wasting your time

Adoring your grit and ignoring your grime

Not saying a word about our future or past

But believing for some reason that these heathens could last

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole

I'll carve you a mouth to speak with

Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors

I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent keeping control

I'll carve you a heart to beat with

Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe

As strangers introduce me to you

I'm still getting emails to the wrong address

In the next room, they swear that they'll clean up my mess

We're halfway out the door before you swoop

Up this whole new generation of kids to dupe

They drain out all your blood til you're nice and clean

They repaint all your walls a sickly green

I will save face and say you look great

Hoping that you're crumbling under dead weight

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole?

I'll carve you a mouth to speak with

Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors

I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent keeping control?

I'll carve you a heart to beat with

Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe

As strangers introduce me to you

Didn't you like what we made together

Didn't you like all the people we helped

I thought all our names would fade together

At least I thought that's how it felt

At least you were experience

A stolen makeup brush

To try and make up for all that you owe me

And I know it's not that serious

But hey, what's the rush

Where's that new, improved self you wanted to show me?

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent making you whole?

I'll carve you a mouth to speak with

Enjoy how my skin flakes on all of your floors

I hope the ice welds shut all of our doors

Will you tell them 'bout the time I spent keeping control?

I'll carve you a heart to beat with

Scrub you out from the sole of my shoe

As strangers introduce me to you

Strangers introduce me to you
