this song is about feeling bored and spending all my time on the computer i am typing this on

lyrics

he spends his time counting the spaces between he’s already lost control he would watch the same spot on the wall for hours in a comfortable void that he calls his home his mom called him yesterday they talked for a minute or two in this time he explained to her he said “I need you to know something I haven’t told you” my legs have atrophied from lack of use my body is totally numb I think about the time that’s passed since I first got here I really want to go back to where I belong she pretended to be surprised with his confession but she’d known all along he’d been brought up interpreting everything he witnessed as reality she wondered where she had gone wrong she remembered when she was young and perceived surroundings more objectively she explained to him that escaping is futile and just might kill the rest of his body his legs had atrophied from lack of use/ his body totally numb she would think about the time she had left and she wondered/ would she ever return to where she came from chained together interminably their bodies are now both totally gone back into the living cycle please just let them go back to where they belong
