Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Parking lot seas of busted glass
Big yellow lines
All fading fast
Mom drops me off like it’s daycare
Says “text me if you need me”
I never do
I just drift through
Dead fountain full of copper stains
Fake trees
Old gum
And window frames
I trace my name in the dust
On a store that closed in June
Everything gone
But it feels like my room
[Chorus]
In the empty mall
I feel normal for once
Just a ghost in a food court chair
All the gates pulled down
But the lights still hum
Like they know that I’m scared
If the whole world falls
I’ll be walking these halls
’Cause the silence
Sounds like home
[Verse 2]
Used to circle that same three shops
Shoe place
Phones
And a donut box
Talk big dreams by the photo booth
Then laugh when the strip came out wrong
Everyone’s moved
I just walk here alone
Security guy nods
Doesn’t ask my name
He’s the closest thing I have to safe
I count the tiles when my chest gets tight
Breathe in the smell of stale popcorn
If I stand real still
I don’t feel as torn
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m so young
But my heart feels tired
Like a sale sign
Sun-bleached
Expired
If this is all
That I ever find
These plastic plants
Are still on my side
[low vocal register] They never leave
They never leave
[Chorus]
