[Refrain]

My hypotheticals are a shield

A projection, a hologram

My own kind of straw man

First I make a proxy

And scrub through footage on the timeline

No longer present, just an echo

Light versus sound speed

Metacognition fuels the fire

I try, ironing out the creases

Lost , forced to review and realign my pieces

It must have a reason

Revise my thesis (must have a reason)

[Refrain]

My hypotheticals are a shield

A projection, a hologram

I guess they are my straw man

Thinking is the straw man

Thе argument is me

What am I avoiding in the prеsent?

What am I avoiding in the present?

Right now

What am I according to the legend?

Revise my thesis

[Refrain]

My Hypotheticals are a shield

A projection, a hologram

My own kinda straw man

The argument is me

What am I feeling?

Why can't I stop thinking?

Breathe

Diagnosis via constellation

Ending up among the stars triangulated

Not all facts are polarized

Sometimes the answer is 'Give me a hug and look me in the eyes'

Why can't we share symptoms?

I decline the invitation to be a contestant in the pity party

I'm halfway out my husk

Less cicada more a dragonfly

Butter, spread too thin, beautiful

People pleasing paparazzi

In my mind palace

Distracted by reverie and subsequent musings

Theories aren't answers

Trust the process of growth, accountability

Not compulsive confessions

You gotta shrug off life sometimes

Grow fortified shoulders

I warm myself when I'm cold

[Refrain]

My hypotheticals are a shield

A projection, a hologram

I guess they are my straw man

The argument is me

My hypotheticals are a shield

A projection, a hologram

I guess they are my strawman

What am I feeling?

I'll try to stop thinking

Breathe, breathe

What am I avoiding in the present?

What am I according to the legend?

Revise my thesis

It must have a reason

[Refrain]

My hypotheticals are a shield

A projection a hologram

I guess they are my straw man

The argument is me

What am I feeling?

I'll try to stop thinking

Breathe, breathe

What am I avoiding in the present?

What am I according to the legend?

Revise my thesis

It must have a reason
