LYRICS:

Lonely. On my ones, so I meditate.
Only on the wall when I levitate.
Warping like a face through a filter.
Awkward. Feel naked and filthy.

Worried ‘bout us all going out again.
Sorry if I move like a paradox.
Haunt me. You’re quiet like a poison.
Formless, like the space in-between.

One… with my thoughts when I meditate.
Too… in the zone when I tessellate.
Free… from the prison of the same place.
Forced… to the forefront centre stage.

Slowly, coming back but the world ain’t
calling. And my phone is alive. You
saw me, through the crowd’s tessellation.
Formless, like the space in-between.
