lyrics

A stranger's just a friend who hasn't stabbed you in the back just yet,
But don't you worry, they will
I can't believe that you haven't seen this coming
I guess it's all been part of the thrill

If you've got the money
I've got the respect
A quarter-life of apathy and oh, the self-neglect
Everyone has anger, I just found a vent
Everyone does damage, I just do mine with intent

I hope you don't feel paranoid
I want you to feel safe
Just stand upon that "x" right there
And we both can escape
I swear I only rent this island
These traps were ready-made
The only double-crossing here
Is in this blanket that I made

Love has got no borders, nationalities or genders
So there's nothing there to stop a connection
If you spent your whole life waiting for a hero
I guarantee that you never met them.

I'm getting older as I write this,
You're getting older as you listen
You never liked me fantasies,
You're never gonna like this one.
You'll never be somebody
If this is how you deal with friction
Love is such a stupid game, I only deal in fiction.

I hope you don't feel paranoid
I want you to feel safe
Because when I betray you
I need to see your face
Tell me that you never had that feeling
Like you should be afraid
My face is even carved into the mountain
On this island that I made.
