Lyrics

   Maybe that was somebody else
   Maybe I was somebody else
   I'm sorry, for what it's worth
   If that means anything anymore
   I think there's something just wrong
   I have been wondering
   When, when did you know?
   You know, really know?
   No, no, no, no, I don't think that's going to happen here
   You missed all that on the way out
   Remember, I don't wanna remember anymore
   Maybe I was somebody else
   Just go back to the idea of me
   Just go back to the idea of me
   Just go back to the idea of me
   Just…
   
   Wait
   Wake
   Breathe
   Believe
   Hey, you tell yourself…
   
   None of this is happening
   
   Oh and if I start to tell you anything, please don't pay attention
   That's not really me in there
   I would never do that
   Just go back to the idea of me
   Go back to that idea
   Can you even hear me over here?
   Everything absorbing, liquid twitching, forming something terrible
   The sores are gone
   And you can hardly tell now but
   That was someone else who isn't here anymore
   
   Wait
   Wake
   Breathe
   Believe
   Hey, you tell yourself…
   
   None of this is happening
   
   Wait
   Wake
   Breathe
   Believe
   Hey, you tell yourself…
   
   Hey
   Can you hear?
   It gets
   So lonely in here

The version of the lyrics as embedded in the files of some versions of the EP:

   maybe that was somebody else
   maybe i was somebody else
   I am sorry (for what it’s worth) if that means anything anymore. I think there’s something just wrong with me
   i have been wondering
   when did you know? you know, really know?
   no no no no no i don’t think that’s going to happen here
   you missed all that on the way out
   and remember 
   i don’t want to remember anymore
   maybe i was somebody else?
   just go back to the idea of me
   go back to the idea of me
   
   
   none of this is happening
   
   
   WAIT
   WAKE
   BREATHE
   BELIEVE
   HEY 
   YOU TELL YOURSELF
   
   
   oh and
   If I start to tell you anything please don’t pay attention. That’s not really me in there. I would never do that.
   just go back to the idea of me
   go back to that idea 
   can you even hear me over here?
   can’t you feel it happening?
   everything absorbing liquid twitching forming something terrible
   the sores are gone 
   and you can hardly tell now but
   that was someone else who isn’t here anymore
   
   
   none of this is happening
   
   
   hey,
   can you hear?
   it gets so lonely in here
