I know it’s silly, but I find a lot of comfort in lyrics that are poetic or contain complicated thoughts.
Do you ever feel like you’re disappearing or you don’t quite exist? I do sometimes. I feel like I’m dissolving or fading away like the Cheshire Cat and soon all that will be left is a fake smile, but nobody will notice.
