Isabel Pless - Politics of Lonely

Clean my bathroom again
Just to feel something other than
The weight of being alone
At the mirror I stand
Pinch my waistline again
Just to keep
From checking my phone
And the tears form a whirlpool
In the center of my face
I breathe in
Then forget to breathe out
And my lips form the shape
Of all I want to say
But can't force the words
Out of my mouth
Think of calling my friends
They're so happy I can't stand that
Their content sometimes burns me
To my reflection I say
"I think you're the one"
I'm a diplomat in politics of lonely
I am friends with the night
Always up at weird times
Pace my dark
And cherry stained floor
Stare out the window
And stare down the sink
Swear to God I can't think anymore
It's a hurt I've never known before
And the tears form a whirlpool
In the center of my face
I breathe in
Then forget to breathe out
And my lips form the shape
Of all I want to say
But can't force the words
Out of my mouth
Think of calling my friends
They're so happy I can't stand that
Their content sometimes burns me
To my reflection I say
"I think you're the one"
I'm a diplomat in politics of lonely
Feel like I am plateauing
Don't know where I am going
In life or in general I guess
I am up then I'm down
And when I look around
At my wreckage
Feel a tightness in my chest
If success is subjective
Then what's the objective
Of a lonely life fully lived well?
I wanna climb that hill
And I will, I will
Even if I have to do it
By myself
And the tears form a whirlpool
In the center of my face
I breathe in
Then forget to breathe out
And my lips form the shape
Of all I want to say
But can't force the words
Out of my mouth
Think of calling my friends
They're so happy I can't stand that
Their content sometimes burns me
To my reflection I say
"I think you're the one"
I'm a diplomat in politics of lonely
Ah
I'm a diplomat in politics of lonely
