sweet nothing. Lyrics

Oh, sweet nothing

So intoxicating

I'll keep puffing

Keep my mind hibernating

But it's a guilty pleasure

That puts lead in your shoes

And you'll be far less clever

And much more likely to lose

So just power through

And I wish my mouth was a paintbrush all of the time

I wish I could always spit out colors like cyan, magenta, and lime

I wish I could soliloquize at the flip of a dime

I wish I didn't have to wait for inspiration to take me

To a place so divine

But I'm not A.I.

Oh, sweet numbness

Can be so alluring

A broken compass

Slows down the maturing

But the wound is mending

Soon you won't need painkillers

I know it feels like you're ascending

But don't stand on that pillar

'Cause it's no filler

And I wish my mouth was a paintbrush all of the time

I wish I could always spit out colors like cyan, magenta, and lime

I wish I could soliloquize at the flip of a dime

I wish I didn't have to wait for inspiration to take me

To a place so divine

But to get through the mud

You've got to throw away the crutch

Take off your coat

And let yourself get soaked

'Cause the best novels written

Were not done from a smitten

Place of high privilege

In a suburban village

You can't have the highs without the lows to compare it to

Can't find relief from grief with no one to share it to

What you are, what you were, what you plan to be

What makes you sick, what makes you tick

What do you want to see?

Oh, sweet nothing

I love you, but this is toxic
