Semantic Satiation from Twin Moons by Elle Archer

oh semantic satiation
well, it overpowered me
lost the plot inside a vacuum
of what i did and didn’t see
should have guessed that you’d be someone’s
and she’d keep you to herself
if i was her i’d do the same thing
there’s no water in the well

what a pitiful sensation
oh, to sabotage myself
with semantic satiation
repeat the lie until it sells
i’m a river in your memory
and all the shit it flows downstream
oh please keep it neat and tidy
while i pollute everything

i never wanted you to know
but i guess i’ll tell you now
there’s nothing that you see in me
that isn’t on its way out
protect yourself and stay the fuck away
the fuck away, ow, ow, ow, ow
it hurts my brain, the self-doubt

with my self-righteous indignation
feel locked out without a key
left with chastity unwanted
see my exes in my dreams
it’s a losing situation
oh, to yearn and not be yearned for
underneath the surface tension
the depths are screaming out for more

i never wanted you to know
but i guess i’ll tell you now
there’s nothing that you see in me
that isn’t on its way out
protect yourself and stay the fuck away
the fuck away, ow, ow, ow, ow
it hurts my brain, the self-doubt

i wish i had a better ring
with a diamond in its mouth
there’s nothing that i really need
except to be 6 feet beneath the ground
protect yourself and stay the fuck away
the fuck away, ow, ow, ow, ow
it hurts my brain, the self-doubt
