I wish my circuits
Weren’t shit
Wish this malfunction would quit
I wish your heart
Were a window
And my love was a brick
But I’m broke
Is it fixed?
Rewire my cortex
Gimme a chance
Hyperactive
Amygdala
Trapped between
Charybdis and Scylla
Dating apps
Social cues
Modern love’s got me so confused
Am I broke?
Is it fixed?
Rewire my cortex
Gimme a chance
I don’t care about the stars
‘Cause stars don’t care about me
I’ll share my secrets with the moon
The divide is mine to keep
Am I broke?
Is it fixed?
Rewire my cortex
Gimme a chance
Gimme a chance
I wish these circuits
Could connect
Wish this connection
Won’t glitch
I wish your heart
Were a lightbulb
And my love was a switch
But I’m up
To the task
Rewire my cortex
Send me a text
Do you keep the darkness
Locked inside?
Without companions the vastness
Will eat you alive
Inside my mind I’m dying
To take in your chemistry
Am I broke?
Is it fixed?
Rewire my cortex
Gimme a chance
I don’t care about the stars
‘Cause the stars don’t care about me
They can’t tell me who I am
The divine is mine to keep
Am I broke?
Is it fixed?
Rewire my cortex
Gimme a chance
Solipsistic
Society
Corrupted something
Inside of me
Shaking off
The dust of youth
Growing old makes me so confused
Are we broke?
Is it fixed?
Rewire your cortex
Give it a chance
