[Verse 1] Ceiling fan counting all the ways I could disappear One, two, skip four, somebody’s breathing in my ear Ice in the cup does a gunshot crack, cool, love that for me Sock seam, phone screen, blue light drilling through my teeth There’s a cartoon playing somewhere, somebody touched my arm Why’s the microwave beeping like a tiny fire alarm? I can hear the fucking electricity inside the walls And I forgot what I was thinking— No, I didn’t. It just got lost. [Pre-Chorus] Hold that thought— No, not that one, That one bites and this one runs Count to five, I lost at four Why is everything asking for more? [Chorus] My brain feels purple, my tongue isn’t right Every sound’s got a body and they’re all here tonight Purple, purple, buzzing behind my eyes Every word hits the ceiling then doubles in size Too much, too close, get out of my skin I can hear the air conditioner thinking again Turn down the colors, turn off the light My brain feels purple and my tongue isn’t right [Verse 2] There’s a crumb in the couch and it’s ruining my day Someone moved the remote and it’s six inches away My hair has opinions, my kneecaps both itch And the tag in my shirt is being kind of a bitch Phone does a buzz and my whole body jumps There’s a truck down the street going thump-thump-thump Someone says my name, every thought in me fled Now I’m nodding like I heard you while I’m buffering instead [Pre-Chorus 2] Hold that thought— Shit, there it goes Where it went, nobody knows Count to five, I’m back at four Why is everything asking for more? [Chorus] My brain feels purple, my tongue isn’t right Every sound’s got a body and they’re all here tonight Purple, purple, buzzing behind my eyes Every word hits the ceiling then doubles in size Too much, too close, get out of my skin I can hear the air conditioner thinking again Turn down the colors, turn off the light My brain feels purple and my tongue isn’t right [Bridge] I want to unzip the noise from my bones Put all of the voices on airplane mode Fold up the daylight and shove it away Tell every sensation it’s done for the day I’m not disappearing, I’m still underneath There’s just too much world and not enough me So give me the quiet, no questions, no light Till my brain’s less purple and my tongue feels right [Final Chorus] My brain feels purple, my tongue isn’t right Every sound’s got a body and they’re all here tonight Purple, purple, buzzing behind my eyes Every word hits the ceiling then doubles in size Too much, too close, get out of my skin I can hear the air conditioner thinking again Turn down the colors, turn off the light There’s too much world and not enough me tonight So purple, purple, leave me alone Let me get quiet enough to come home Turn down the colors, turn off the light Till my brain’s less purple and my tongue feels right
