Swallowed by the Wall

Lyrics] [Intro] (Tape hiss begins) (Slow, slightly detuned acoustic guitar arpeggio) [Verse 1] Open the window, the air won't move Just a ghost of you, same as yesterday Tried to speak, but I just stopped It'll only be swallowed by the wall anyway [Chorus] Hey, just laugh at me At my clumsy fingertips Kindness always hurts a little bit This fragile distance between us [Verse 2] Messy room, spinning cassette tape A melody of mine that you don't know I don't need a sweet, hollow lie Just stay right here, that's all I want [Bridge] (Guitar becomes slightly distorted and fuzzy) (Muffled drums enter, unsteady beat) Actually, I'm scared Scared that you'll understand me too well When I can't even love myself [Chorus] Hey, just laugh at me At my clumsy fingertips Kindness always hurts a little bit This fragile distance between us [Outro] (Vocals becoming a whisper) You're so kind It's almost cruel (Guitar stops abruptly) (Only tape hiss remains for 3 seconds)
