Morning Person

First things first, you'll wake to the morning birds
They're making me anxious, chirpin' me
They know I'm ashamed 'cause I'm still awake
Do I sleep enough?
Well, I can't enough of the stuff
It seems only fitting
The only way to put me at ease is so tough to achieve

You told me
Bad people don't think they're bad
They wouldn't care if they could
But shouldn't good people be
Be certain they're good?

I know I'm overthinking this
But fuck, maybe I should
Put my flaws into focus
It was then I understood

Didn't lose my faith
No, I've always been this way
There's proof that I'm living, that I exist
But don't believe in myself, to play devil's advocate
But you wish I was naive
So I could take you seriously
When you're constantly talking sweet
I don't trust a word, but I don't even care
'Cause none of them hurt

You told me
Bad people don't think they're bad
They wouldn't care if they could
But shouldn't good people be
Be certain they're good?

I know I'm overthinking this
But fuck, maybe I should
You are lost in translation
You are misunderstood

When you cut to my core, you figured it'd be warm
You come to terms that I'm devoid of what you came here for
You are not consistent, nothing of the sort
When you've been ice, and steam, and water, and I've loved every form

And when the light pollution eats the stars you like best
Then I will map new constellations with your freckles and specks
Had a soft spot for you, in a place I knew you'd check
Make sure that when you do, your damage, it is permanent

You are not my blood, just conjured kindred spirits
I manifest you are my friend, but you're not superstitious
And now your name is a rumour or an ancient legend
Being passed down through generations until it's lost its whole message

I was a morning person till you spent days sleeping
Days and nights behind the blinds was all the change we needed
Said I'd die for you, and now I'm sure that I will
On any day I may pass, in any way I am killed
