Lyrics Palimpsest - Lauren Bousfield

Palimpsest

Suck down whatever moral dilemma you have
Dress it up nevermind
I’m staying in tonight
Hold on to your futurelessness
Seething hypervigilance
Everyone’s out to get you
Constantly logging inconsistencies to defend yourself against later
Use the trauma like a cudgel
Another wind song about victimhood and talented men
People who can get away with being vague
Oh god
I hope I’m growing as a person
Mouth stopped open in fear and the shark has pearly teeth dear
And he shows them pearly whites
