timelapse Lyrics

Still feels like a dream

One that can't come true for me

Getting lightheaded on the coast

Trapped in what feels unusual

When I look at you, I overdose

On some envy that I can't control

I don't fit in, all my life

Getting sick of living this lie

The mirror showing someone who hides

Dysphoria that's burning inside

Trying to find the right words

For that moment when you're silent, your stomach turns

And you can't tell if you want them

Or if you envy that you'll never glow like that

Can we hit the timelapse?

To the point I never have to hide again

All the metaphors I hold back

That detail all the ways she makes me seen

The writing on the page is subliminal

I see the way they hate, and it's visceral

Gotta hold it down, they can never know

It doesn't feel safe, and I'm losing hope

While the sun sets, problems overflow

Think about the ways I don't fit the mold

They only see my face, so they change their tone

I wonder how it'd look if I showed my soul

(Guess we'll never know)

I don't wanna feel trapped in my skin (and yet I feel so lost)

I just wanna hear that I belong with them

I'm not afraid of the dark (I've been starting to heal, but do I resent)

It's my shield from the fire (What I see in the mirror, it doesn't make sense)

You're losing sight of it all

In the wake of the dawn

The safety of my art

Is all I got

Feel left out

Of what I want
