lyrics

Remove the frame
Try to see the borders
I feel the same
But only if you say so
Card in the drawer
Feels more like a casket
I'm finding more
I'm nervous all the time

Now I'm burning in the background baby
Where I will stay
And I cannot pretend
That I've been doing too great lately
And I've got this awful picture in my head
Where years from now I'll see you again
Knowing that I won't know who you've been
And I won't find the words to say just what I mean
Before I drift away

Fog's closing in
Periphery is pointless
Think medicine
Could help but I don't know
Fend off the dread
At the family function
Can't get ahead
I convince myself I'm fine

Now I'm burning in the background baby
Where I will stay
And I cannot pretend
That I've been doing too great lately
And I've got this awful picture in my head
Where years from now I'll see you again
Knowing that I won't know who you've been
And I won't find the words to say just what I mean
Before I drift away

Avoid online accounts
Afraid of seeing yours
Ask myself the questions
I'll never know for sure

Now I'm burning in the background baby
Where I will stay
And I cannot pretend
That I've been doing too great lately
And I've got this awful picture in my head
Where years from now I'll see you again
Knowing that I won't know who you've been
And I won't find the words to say just what I mean
Before I drift away
