comets near me - Hallway Light Lyrics

I used to think that if I swallowed seeds
In my stomach there would grow a tree and I'd die
Picking apart everything I'd eat
Making sure that nothing else was hiding inside
It kept me up at night
Believed in santa til I was nine
Put my tooth under that pillow every single time
Didn't bother questioning those lies
If Jesus walked on water then a fat man could fly
It kept me up at night
Just like the hallway light
Have I grown any different?
My mom said, "Monsters don't live under beds"
Now I know they're running for office instead
Teacher taught me I had to believe
Learning cursive was something I had to do in life
Now I just type letters on a screen
Resignation letter that my boss will never find
It keeps me up at night
Just like the city lights
A mattress on the floor
Walked to the corner store
Questioned my own existence
Cashier said, "donate so children get fed"
But I know it's just a tax write off instead
Fantasy reality
It all feels the same to me
Consuming everything at once is muscle memory
Comedy or tragedy
But nothing sounds interesting
Taking back my inner child
Fighting for custody
Fantasy reality
It all feels the same to me
Consuming everything at once is muscle memory
Comedy or tragedy
But nothing sounds interesting
Taking back my inner child
Fighting for custody
Fantasy reality
It all feels the same to me
Consuming everything at once is muscle memory
Comedy or tragedy
But nothing sounds interesting
Taking back my inner child
Fighting for custody
