[Chorus]

My ears and eyes are microscopes

And I don't have any control

I wish that I could let it go

But I don't think I'm capable

In my head is an archive

Awkward silences, short replies

Explicated and analyzed

Oh, please don't let me demonize you

[Verse]

Trivial aggressions, manipulations

Pointlessly persuading anyone who will listen

I'm trying really hard not to be so harsh

But when you speak with conviction, all I hear is ammunition

I'm painting a picture, my paint is derision

Every decision for social division

As far as I can see it, it's us versus them

Though my black and white vision is slightly rose-tinted

From backwashing blood of my innocent victims

A splash in the tub, I'm drowning my symptoms

Delicious, the taste of some words I can twist

Temptation is vicious, how could I resist?

I'm subsisting on possible subtweets

My whole world is hinging on me convincing everyone I know

They should hate my arbitrarily chosen scapegoat of the day

[Chorus]

My ears and eyes are microscopes

And I don't have any control

I wish that I could let it go

But I don't think I'm capable

In my head is an archive

Awkward silences, short replies

Explicated and analyzed

Oh, please don't let me demonize you

[Bridge]

I really, really like you

So please don't be upset

That I've had you diagnosed

Ten minutes after we met

I know that I am stupid

And I don't know anything

You know deep, deep down

I don't believe the stupid shit that I keep claiming I think

[Chorus]

My ears and eyes are microscopes

And I don't have any control

I wish that I could let it go

But I don't think I'm capable

In my head is an archive

Awkward silences, short replies

Explicated and analyzed

Oh, please don't let me demonize you
