Straightfaced
Emotional Unraveling: Spacey Jane's Struggle with Love
Lyrics
I feel better tired, that’s why I’m up all night
I find solace or improvement in being tired, which is why I stay awake throughout the night.
I think of what I’d say to you if you opened your eyes
I contemplate what I would express to you if you were to open your eyes.
I can’t keep the light out, no I can’t sleep at all
I struggle to block out the light, and as a result, I cannot sleep at all.
Those Sunday morning sermons they come eating at my soul
The sermons on Sunday mornings are emotionally affecting me, eating away at my inner self.
Could it be it, right in front
Is it possible that the solution is right in front of me?
I can feel it, I’m sorry but
I sense it, and I apologize, but...
I can’t keep a straight face on and tell you I still love you
I can't maintain a composed demeanor and honestly say I still love you.
I’m so sick of lying but it’s all we’ve got the rest is fake
Despite being weary of dishonesty, lying seems to be our only option, as the rest is artificial.
I’m talking quiet but it’s awful loud
My speech is subdued, but the emotional intensity is overwhelming.
I feel felt things for but honey I don’t feel them anymore
I used to have strong emotions for someone, but I no longer experience them.
I feel better crying but I can’t bear the site
I find comfort in crying, but the sight is unbearable.
Oh your begging me to stay but I can’t be with you tonight
You're pleading for me to stay, but I cannot be with you tonight.
The sun comes up and I’m stuck and the brightness overwhelms me
The sunrise leaves me stuck, and the brightness is overwhelming.
And in that light I am so dark, I pour out love but you can’t see
In that light, I am emotionally dark, pouring out love that goes unnoticed.
Could it be, it right in front
Is it possible that the solution is right in front of me? (repeated)
I can feel it, I’m sorry but
I sense it, and I apologize, but...
I can’t keep a straight face on and tell you I still love you
I can't maintain a composed demeanor and honestly say I still love you. (repeated)
Well I’m so sick of lying but it’s all we’ve got the rest is fake
Despite being weary of dishonesty, lying seems to be our only option, as the rest is artificial. (repeated)
I’m talking quiet but it’s awful loud
My speech is subdued, but the emotional intensity is overwhelming. (repeated)
I feel felt things for you but honey I don’t feel them anymore
I used to have strong emotions for you, but I no longer experience them. (repeated)
Behind, I’ll follow into the end of time
I will follow you behind into the end of time.
And I, I thought I knew but I’m not sure this time
I thought I understood, but this time I'm uncertain.
I can’t keep a straight face on and say I didn’t love you
I can't maintain a composed demeanor and deny that I loved you.
With all my heart I’ve shut you out because it’s all I know how to do
I have shut you out with all my heart because it's the only way I know how to cope.
There’s so much screaming but it’s cold, it’s dull
Despite the chaos and noise, there is a cold, dull numbness.
I felt things for you but I have never felt this numb
I had strong emotions for you, but now I feel an unprecedented numbness.
