about

A song about the powerlessness in a lack of self-control, and the desolation of being haunted by yourself.

lyrics

I am a limbic system's rag doll

(1, 2... Fuck it.)

You said "I just miss when you were kinder to yourself"
Well I do too, y'know I really hate hating myself
But I just made a habit of flaunting my flaws before anybody else
Got even the slightest chance to hurt me themselves

I am a limbic system's rag doll
At the cruel, cruel whim of cortisol
All the worry in my stomach
Left me strung up as amygdala's puppet

I couldn't afford the feelings in my chest
So I let my heart be repossessed
All of the money in the world could never buy it back

And I bit down so no words could leave my mouth
Held my breath till I snuffed the fire out
And I haven't felt that way about anyone since

They said this is what love is, and I wasn't convinced

And I am a limbic system's rag doll
At the cruel, cruel whim of cortisol
All the worry in my stomach
Left me strung up as amygdala's puppet
I'm a limbic system's rag doll
At the cruel, cruel whim of cortisol
All the worry in my stomach
Left me strung up as amygdala's puppet

You said "I just miss when you were kinder to yourself"
But oh well, oh well, oh well

I am haunted every night by all the people I have ever been
They ask me with tears in their eyes, why have I abandoned them?
They coalesce underneath my bed, hoping I'll come back for them
But I just shut my eyes tight and try to forget

Hoping someday soon they'll starve themselves to death
