Hemophiliac from Amygdala by Dayflower

pick apart my brain and scatter it on a plate
surgically remove what’s always been out of place
memories captured on film, preserved over time
pick one to eat with your lunch, remove it from the slime

my least favorite movie always playing on repeat
some parts are lost in my mind, bits of static in the scenes
remind myself that it won’t matter a few minutes from now
but it feels bigger than i can see from here, safe on the ground

i’m bleeding out and there’s nothing i can do to make it quit
it’s concerning to everyone else, but i guess i’m used to it
is it visible? i’ll try to cover it up with an act
cuts on my amygdala, a hemophiliac

nothing is my business, although i want it to be
give me all your problems, feed my hyper-empathy
i’m growing up, and i feel different than i used to feel
it’s the coolest thing ever to me, but it’s not a big deal

go from shoving it inside to constant vulnerability
everybody’s watching now, hundreds of eyes to see
talk about your problems to people that you don’t know
everyone’s inside my head, i think i’m gonna go

i’m bleeding out and there’s nothing i can do to make it quit
it’s concerning to everyone else, but i guess i’m used to it
is it visible? i’ll try to cover it up with an act
cuts on my amygdala, a hemophiliac
