Rosetta Stone

gotta find a way to keep you around

i'm stuck to the ground, and nothing else moves me

it's like i'm fully colorblind

it's all black and white until you shed some light

this point of view's so inconvenient

i like that you can help me see it

turn the dimmer down

i think that i can get around

it's all laid out in front of my face

can you help me translate

you're my rosetta stone

(you wrote the language i'm having trouble speaking)

and i know these skills are something i should hone

(i'm locked up but can't seem to find the key)

but everything i see

(i see crawls back unfamiliarly)

becomes foreign to me

(i just can't recognize anything)

this point of view's so inconvenient

i like that you can help me see it

turn the dimmer down

i think that i can get around

this point of view's so parasitic

i keep trying to snuff the critic

but their voice just keeps growing loud

and surrounding me

i need to find something to clear my head

to stop thinking it'd be best if i was dead

keep the dimmer down

i'll find a way to get around
