Escape Artist - Wetlands Lyrics

Take me to the wetlands so I won't feel ill
If I promise not to cry, would you spare me the positions I can't fill?
When I dream about you, you're too real
And I wake myself in solitude, stifling the ways I shouldn't feel
Like you're not something I'll outrun
I spend my time convinced that I'm a child attached to everyone
Who leaves and doesn't suffocate, undone
In little bouts of clarity, I recognize that it was fun
And I know you don't owe me
Kiss me in the wetlands, and I'll learn to bite my tongue
In the words of nonbelievers, can't deceive her if the sirens haven't sung
I'm projecting, but I mean it just the same
I spent days here overthinking if you meant it when you dreamt about my name
Like you're not something I'll outrun
I spend my time convinced that I'm a child attached to everyone
Who leaves and doesn't dry out in the sun
I bludgeon my sincerity, I recognize that it was fun
And I know you don't owe me
Drown me in the wetlands, and you'll rise again to find
That I never sought much solace outside of my own delusional mind
Where I birth things you'll never see
These obsessions that need feeding, only breeding 'cause without them,
Am I me?
Feel like you're not something I'll outrun
I spend my time convinced that I'm a child attached to everyone
Who leaves and doesn't love me when it's done
But I don't need your charity - I recognize that it was fun
And I know you don't owe me
Even though that's what I want
