I have spent all year
Keeping myself at a distance
Loving at an arm’s length
Embracing resistance
Never putting in more effort
Than someone else
Not letting people know me
Or being my true self
Because the last person
That I let myself close to
Left like I was no one
Memories I can’t redo
Now the people I talk to regularly
Don’t even know my name
I met them through gaming
And they know me as Grimm

Nothing but Taylor Swift on the radio
What perfect background noise
She knows the words I want to say
But presents with much more poise
Treacherous like my playlist
I picked out these songs
Then I left it all nameless
Because I knew that it was wrong
Invisible strings tugging at my heart
I don’t respond like I should
I only imagined this in my wildest dreams
So I’ll do what Taylor Swift would

My words are lost in thoughts
I’m trying to decrypt
They’re jumbled up in code
And I can’t read this script
Twenty-four hours of nameless music
I’ve left it on repeat
To find the message underneath
Am I being indiscreet
The melody is made of letters
In a language I want to know
You can play to the beat of my heart
I’ll be a metronome
Though I am not a muse
I don’t smile like Lana Del Rey
But I can lose myself in the beat
At the moment you press play
I guess my words will never be configured
And maybe this is cliche
But I will listen to the lyrics
Of feelings that I can’t convey
