June Henry - SIDEFX

Spine is shaped like a crescent moon
And i know deep in my heart that
I don’t deserve you
These realizations hit at the exact same time
As the x-ray technician tells me
To hold my breath and stand behind the line

You are my least favorite side effect
So many stupid moments i'll always regret
It's fucking messy and i miss you and you're messing with my head
Do you mean it or do you always just forget?
And in an instant you know damn well i'd go running right back
I miss familiar, miss your insults
I miss all of the attacks
But i know you tread on eggshells
Tell me what i wanna hear
‘til i snap again and decide i'm done for another year

My brain feels like it's always filled with something soft
Like blind hope or maybe cotton or a rolled up sock
I use it all, dampen
The sharpness of goodbyes
The knowledge that i'll spend all of my energy averting contact with your eyes

You are my least favorite side effect
So many stupid moments i'll always regret
It's fucking messy and i miss you and you're messing with my head
Do you mean it or do you always just forget?
And in an instant you know damn well i'd go running right back
I miss familiar, miss your insults
I miss all of the attacks
But i know you tread on eggshells
Tell me what i wanna hear
‘til i snap again and decide i'm done for another year
But i know you tread on eggshells
Tell me what i wanna hear
‘til i snap again and decide i'm done for another year
