to give in

from on a sailboat by the smallest one

/

lyrics

a fatal flaw; a simple law—
it tells you when to start or stop,
but isn’t written down, so not
as simple as it seems.

your subtle tells; your cries for help—
they never leave your tiny shell.
they hide behind the face you sell
to every living soul.

there’s a lever attached to your back,
that you’ll never reach.
the question lingering
is whether you should let
someone flick the switch.

it’s just a phase, or so they say—
yeah, one day you’ll find your way
out of this dark & stormy maze
you’ve wandered all your life.

but it’s a lie; you just can’t buy it—
vague, unfounded, shit advice.
no, some things don’t get better,
like the pressure to give in.

there’s a letter; it’s folded in your hands,
but you can’t recall
whether you’re sending it,
or if it was meant for you—
then again, who’d write to you?
