Dragon Snacks [WIP] [Teaser] (Patreon)

[Chorus 1 / Intro]I don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back down(I don’t even need to calm back down)I don’t even need to calm back down

[Verse 1]Hella scared of slowBit my lip and let it goAte a crayon, watched it meltLaughed so hard I couldn’t helpSaid I’m good, then jumped the gateWore my shirt at half past lateWould you be mad if I float?Would you be mad if I text a ghost?Ripped my list and taped it backSat on the floor and had a snackSaid I’m done, then tapped againSaid I’m done, but missed the end

[Chorus 2]I don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back down

[Verse 2]Cracked my phone, no reason whyPut on glitter just to cryTried to sleep inside my sinkSaid “I’m fine” before I blinkedNeed a snack that doesn’t talkNeed a stair that doesn’t walkWant a kiss that I can’t feelWant a joke that isn’t realI (uh) can’t stop (can’t stop), won’t try to (won’t try to)Can’t stop this, won’t hide it (won’t)Don’t ask why I laughed so hardDon’t ask why I lit the card

[Chorus 3]I don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downYou can't put me downI love to be up

[Verse 3]Save it for later, hide it under layersMany layers, never stable, built like stacks of paperDidn't bend but learned to brake it, break it, snap and fake itTaking my self-image down to tiny little vaporWhat I call the level, lost it, back around the cornerBrain is beveled and I'm being, fuzzy in the borderBest as I can, best as what I had believed inThough I run and joke, slip the soap, say I'm evenAnd blow up smoke, fill the room, watch it leave meAnd turn around to leave it, walk the circle, can't relieve itCan be it, want to be it, said I would but now I’m splitWhat I said is written backwards, little liar, kinda sickCan the sweets make 'er, softer, make 'er slower,Go away, but never do, they never ever lowerIs there ever really any, depth I haven’t scraped yet?Digging deep and counting plenty, digits running vacantBut the longer that I linger, thumb the corners, start to fidgetI start chopping off my fingers, counting seconds, lose the digitsIf that's graphic yeah imagine, what it’s like inside my atticMyself stuck upwards eleven, still pretending I could have itSeven milk straight from the bottle, pour it, spill it, watch me wobbleBut I am treated like a toddler, grown-up body, baby squabbleAnd though no I didn't bother, said it’s fine, it doesn’t matterIt's just all I got to offer, so don’t bother, watch me scatter

[Chorus 4 / Outro]I don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back downI don’t even need to calm back down
