An awkward pause, a room without air
I smell like mistrust of therapists, and
My scent is 100% cortisol
I hide my feelings behind a clown mask, lol
I smell like jealousy and hatred, but
Don't be afraid, I'll punish myself later
I smell like eight hours of scrolling TikTok
I smell like electricity, like "don't come near me - it'll kill you"
Like a crocodile, like the slow woman in front
When the path is narrow and there's no way around it
I smell like the fear of looking you in the eye
Like searching for words for years, but never being able to say them
I smell like exposed wire, panic without cause
A depressive city
[Chorus]
And you smell like peace, like silence in my head
You're like ten hours of uninterrupted sleep
You're Thursday, you're 4:00 PM, you're chamomile tea and peace
I'm always crying, but you smell like those tearless shampoos
Like care, like home, like the ability to take things seriously
And love for a long time, love endlessly
And you smell like peace, like silence in my head.
You're like ten hours of uninterrupted sleep.
You're Thursday, you're 4:00 PM, you're chamomile tea and peace.
I'm always crying, but you smell like those tearless shampoos.
Like care, like home, like the ability to take things seriously.
And to love for a long time, to love endlessly.
I smell like crap, but I beg you, wait.
I won't ask for much, my request is simple:
Please, let me lie down on top of you.
Like you're sand, and I'm a stingray or a catfish.
I'd like to calm down in your serene arms.
But I smell like fear, like running away in a hurry.
Like waking me up in the middle of the night, talking in tears.
Like biting my nails or licking my lips until they bleed.
Like a caged tiger, nervously pacing.
How to embellish to please others
Like a scratched screen, a missed call
Like an untreated neurosis, a leaky ceiling
I smell like the fear of looking you in the eye
Like searching for words for years, but never saying them
And in that sense, you've been very lucky
Otherwise, you know, it would have been neither one thing nor the other
[Chorus]
And you smell like peace, like silence in my head
You're like ten hours of uninterrupted sleep
You're Thursday, you're 4:00 PM, you're chamomile tea and peace
I'm always crying, but you smell like those tearless shampoos
Like care, like home, like the ability to take things seriously
And love for a long time, love endlessly
And you smell like peace, like silence in my head.
You're like ten hours of uninterrupted sleep.
You're Thursday, you're 4:00 PM, you're chamomile tea and peace.
I'm always crying, but you smell like those tearless shampoos.
Like care, like home, like the ability to take things seriously.
And to love for a long time, to love endlessly.
