about
"Sewn Up and Handsome" is my attempt at unraveling pressure points of insecurity in the context of perceived identity through the language of blown out long-form pop rock.
lyrics
Sometimes I just want you to tell me what you think is wrong with me
When everything is hurting my back in my chest
I am caving in
The doctor can’t detect my heartbeat
But my mom is hypertensive pulmonarily
All those summers at Reagan bridged the gap between
Straightening my hair and letting it fall naturally
I wanna be invisible
When I'm tired of getting physical
When I'm bored of being miserable
I can’t look with unseeing eyes all the time
I’m getting too good at telling white lies
When I die
I’ll feel loneliest walking past places I’ve already been
At least I’ll be all sewn up and handsome
Sometimes I just want you to tell me that you think I’m ugly
Oh I won a confession after a night of drinking with a frenemy
Maybe I put on some weight under oxy haze
Or its just the air I injected in my veins
But when I feel the oil dripping down on my face
I’m elated
Oh I wanna be less miserable
So I’m trying to get physical
Will I always be so visible?
I can’t look with unseeing eyes all the time
I’m getting too good at telling white lies
When I die
I’ll feel loneliest walking past places I’ve already been
