issues

when you call it’s so immediate
you want me wet and all I’m donning
is your fancy dress socks, my eyes crossed
you overwhelm me and I can’t get enough

I’m leaving bruises on my arms again
I don’t even care who sees me wearing them
does it make it worse if it’s intentional?
mutilation to release the emotional damage

would you even miss me?
I just want to feel relevant
I know something is missing
there’s an absence when you kiss me

breaking mirrors in my bathroom
exploding glass and perfume
try to focus on what I’m worth
easier done when I can’t see the dirt

my heart is dragging by a cord
eating the mess up off your floor
don’t you want to pick it up?
I’ve almost had enough

you’re a fever dream and I’m dying
sip these chemicals now I’m lying
to myself and we’ve both got issues
I’m running out of tissues but I miss you

so I keep hanging by the phone
it rings and your name isn’t on the screen
I don’t know why I bother trying
it’s the sex that I’m relying on

you’re just another ghost
you’re just another ghost
you’re just another ghost
you’re just another ghost
