Lyrics Plain Letters - Madison Cunningham

Plain Letters

It always shows up at your door when you least expect it
Old wounds from your youth reintroduce themselves to you
Do your best impression of yourself, A watered down version of the way it felt
To be unrecognized, misunderstood and spelled out
In plain letters, In plain letters
The camera’s always on the wrong side of the glass
Is there ever a flattering angle of the facts?
Well do the best impression of yourself
A box within a box in a storage cell, Those who tell you what you are
Poke an insect in a jar, And put in on your name tag
In plain letters, In plain letters
How does it look, when it dries in pen
On your eyes, on your heart, on your emptiness
Well you can’t be surprised by what you’ve come to expect
I hope you find a weakness that you’re stronger than
I hope you find a weakness that you’re stronger than
You’ve got a case of winter that no one’s ever seen
Is that a new bandage on your knees?
Did anybody ask you what was wrong?
Or did they stare at you strange when you asked where you belonged
You know you can’t defeat it, so you run out to greet it but it looks like a
stop sign
In plain letters, In plain letters
How does it look, when it dries in pen
On your eyes, on your heart, on your emptiness
Well you can’t be surprised by what you’ve come to expect
I hope you find a weakness that you’re stronger than
I hope you find a weakness that you’re stronger than
It’s a illiterate feeling and a slow healing, Your world spins like a planet on
your ceiling
And I wish it was enough to convince you of yourself, But it can’t be said
In plain letters, In plain letters
