Paroles de I Trap You

Love is a self-made thing
I am free
I stare at the air and I see patterns
And your name is a song in my chest
The taste is metallic
How many billions walk this planet?
I feel them, I feel them
You show me my mass
Love is an endless sky
An endless cliché that imagines itself to be deep revelation
An open face, n open palm, n open plain
All open
The more that we close it the less that we know it
And just ‘cause I know it
Don’t mean I know how to show it
They’re taking everything from us and telling us nothing is ours
But here we are, dancing
You make me a microscope
You make me a map
I called it "love," I should have called it "trap"
"I trap you," I should have said tenderly
At the end of a long day
While we kept each other desperately stagnant
"I trap you so much"
Yes, I want you to be happy, but don’t threaten my happiness
Can’t you see I’m walking this threadbare tightrope? Are all my insecurities
And all the little lies I like to tell myself
And every other reason that I can’t see the truth
"I trap you so much!"
I should have whispered in your ear as we fell asleep
Bodies unbound, sheets soaked, hearts hammering
If I see it clear, will it stay clear?
Will it be clear when you’re here?
I don’t want fear, I don’t want greed
I want freedom, I want to be free
I want you to be free, I want to nourish
I don’t want to feed like some ravenous mouth
With no guts, only greed, endless appetite
Need, need, need
You can’t free me, I free me, I breathe
If I am in pieces, is it easier to see?
I think I am whole now
I think I am more whole
But I still check my phone 17 times a minute
To see if you called and I missed it
Trap
Love is a self-made thing
Love is a self-made trap
