Distant Lyrics

Be quiet and keep your composure

In the corner with a trick up your sleeve

Feel like you could drown

Gone without a sound

Keep waiting for someone to call you

Every second checking your phone

You're so far from the ground

No matter how high

You keep looking down

You think that they're all watching you

But they don't notice you at all

No one there to talk to

Just a shock from the plug and a hole in the wall

Syd, Max, and the rest of their friends said

You could tag along if you want

And you were feeling bold

You punish yourself with the things that you're told

So silent, your hands in your pockets

No one else is feeling the burn

A house plant with a pulse

A wallflower turning bitter and cold

A crowded room makes you feel alone

Checking out as you're walking in

You placed your bet and you changed your tone

You can rig the machine but it won't let you win
