Lyrics

The actual sung lyrics, like the song itself, are concise and to the point:

  Still can make out pieces with the opening sewed shut
  Yeah, parts of me are slowing down and time is speeding up
  Spiders crawling everywhere, infected Japanese
  You can tell all your friends you're just a tourist
  But you can't understand what they've planned until you try to leave
   
  Feels like I've been here before
  Yeah, I don't know anymore
  And I don't care anymore
  Feels like I've been here before
   
  Cold and black and infinite with nothing left to lose
  If you try to keep the flies away, the makeup hides the bruise
  Her branches are the bones that break, become a perfect line
  And no, he won't be just a man who's Sometimes
   
  He won't be just a man who's Sometimes
  
  Feels like I've been here before
  Yeah, I don't know anymore
  And I don't care anyway
  I think I recognize
   
  Yes, I have been here before
  Yeah, I don't care anymore
  Don't give a fuck anymore
  Yeah, I don't care

The embedded lyrics in some versions of the EP are, however, far more extensive, some of which seem to be a ramble and others which seem to actually address the reader directly:

   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before
   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before 
   well i don't know anymore 
   and i don't care anymore 
   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before 
   feels like i've been here before 
   
   cold and black and infinite with nothing left to lose
   glassy bending flexible 
   if you try to keep the flies away the makeup hides the bruise
   why are you here right now? i don't think you're supposed to be reading this
   her branches are the bones that break become a perfect line
   and no he won’t be just a man who’s Sometimes       
   
   feels like i've been here before
   well i don't know anymore
   and i don't care anymore
   
   i think i recognize
   
   yes i have been here before 
   yes i have been here before 
   yes i have been here before
   yes i have been here before
   yeah i don't care anymore
   yeah don’t give a fuck anymore
   and i don't care anymore

The following portion has been broken up for readability but it is presented as a single block of text and is mostly nonsensical, at least at first glance:

   one way or another but the way things have a way 
   finding order almost everything of you
   
   yes i have been here before
   yes i guess thought i was
   
   my proven false in false in one
   all of you but the way actual events a way of finding mattered
   what i thought of finding order almost of you
   i guess have a way of comfort in the past events
   but the way like I’ve been here the past not the but the way
   i of myself has proven before allowing myself to almost everything i thought events
   but the way sense of comfort in what i thought
   i have a way of actual events but
   the mattered what i thought the actual events
   but the actual events but been here before allowing of myself
   has proven in one way guess things have a
   of finding order almost my definition of myself
   you all of you myself to feel a feel a sense of thought
   i was my thought mattered what i have proven false
   to remember them and comfort in the past
   and you all of way of finding order you
   i guess things all of you i of myself has proven of myself has proven
   the way i choose in one way or i guess things have order almost everything
   i myself to feel a not the actual events in the past
   not remember them and you feels like I’ve been you
   i guess things i thought mattered what here before allowing myself
   way i choose to of finding order almost of finding order
   almost or another and you all of before allowing myself
   to allowing myself to feel way of finding order
   of myself has proven my definition of myself
   please go away from here
   please all of you
   i past not the actual
