Em Rattles Bones - Harmony (This Kinda Sounds Like Shit)

"Why must I think all my friends hate me?
I thought I was doing better lately"
She makes a third cup of coffee, adding so much sugar
It can't be good for her anxiety

"It's getting really old and boring
Fearing walking out the door and
Thinking I'll never get to feel the flutter of euphoria
From hearing someone sing my shitty songs"

Oh, she'd text someone about it but everyone's asleep

She wants to be loved in a way that feels real
Hear someone say "hey, I wrote a harmony
To that song you sent me that you wrote by hand
I fucking loved it, should we start a band?"

The people she thinks she's not cool enough for
Truth is, like her, they hide their flaws
Their unhealthy ways of coping with it all
The way they wake up tired and sore

Oh, it's getting old, it bores her
Humming in her little corner
Watching her long lost soulmates mouth the words to the life
She'd have if they just turned and saw her

Sometimes even I forget she's there, but fuck, she's me

My songs are not the best, believe me I know
I am a mess no matter how much I grow
I'm comically imperfect but if you need me, I will go
Gladly into hell with you as if we're just walking home

I can be whatever you want me to be
A lover, an old friend, your worst enemy
I'll dress the part, I enjoy the theatrics
But when the curtains close, will you want me for more than my politics?

I want to be loved in a way that feels real
Hear someone say "hey, I wrote a harmony
To that song you sent me that you wrote by hand
I fucking loved it, should we start a band?"
