Manic Pixie Nightmare (demo)

about

Everyone you meet creates a different version of you in their mind. In this way, we live on as various different people, good or bad, friend or foe, forever. There is no "you"--not even to yourself. In this song I confront my own experience with that phenomenon and my feelings about it.

lyrics

if my lungs collapse, it'll be from trying to outrun the past
and if I turn to ash, don't scoop me up
just leave me right where I fell down
a gust of wind will spread me around
but not as thin as I'm spread right now

when I don't have a body,
will I be missed by anybody?
or will they just talk about the mask?
it's a fact that there's a hundred different "yous" running around in people's heads
there's a hundred different yous running around
what version of me are you seeing right now?

if I were to cry, I just might break out in hives
and say I wish I weren't alive
and I'll fucking mean it
I've had cold fucking feet since the day I was born
and I just can't help but be honest about it

when I don't have a body,
will I be missed by anybody?
or will they just remember the bad?
it's a fact that there's a hundred different "yous" running around in people's heads
there's a hundred different yous running around
what version of me are you seeing right now?

what version of me are you seeing right now?
