Mel Stone - Cat's Song

She's the quick one, the sad one, the fun one, the mean one
Always telling friends how she wants to die
She never really means it, just takes everything she has to stay alive

Wake up, disconnect the feeling, memorize the dots in the ceiling
Smoking breakfast out her bedroom window
Taking three days to text back, saying sorry i've been a drag
Destroying everything she can to get control

She gave it all the money she had to make that settled feeling last
But she don't want consolation, she just needs absolution
She don't want sympathy, just needs her days to be easy

This city is a sinking ship, not big enough for wrecks like us
The future is a burning bridge, not bright enough to light me up

She's the tall one, the smol one, the kind one, the mom one
Means well but never says what she means
Always asking what's the matter but rarely gets the answer that she needs

She woke up in their apartment, the unsteady ground felt different
Ugly crying at the kitchen table
Taking three hits to think straight, saying sorry that i'm this way
Cutting off everyone she can to feel stable

She gave it all the money she had to make that anchored feeling last
But she don't wants compliments, just needs conclusions
She don't want fantasies, just something close to happy

This city is a sinking ship, not big enough for wrecks like us
The future is a burning bridge, not bright enough to light me up

You were a hurricane, a barricade, romanticized insecticide
And everything i wanted to be
A kind-hearted coward, a clout chasing vampire
And the one that i still see in every dream

I gave you all the money i had to lock my nightmares in the past
You took the good parts and ran but what's the future worth anyway?
I'd probably do it all again

This city is a sinking ship, not big enough for wrecks like us
The future is a burning bridge, not bright enough to light me up
