Allergic from Vulnerabilité by Jazz Emu

We’re on the couch curled up
We’ve been watching Bambi
It’s come to the sad scene

You feel my limbs tense up
I thank god I’m manly
Don’t need to show empathy

You ask how I feel, I come out in a rash
How can this be? I ate no shellfash.
You say just open up, I sneeze right in your face
Don’t speak another word girl, I’m allergic to my emotions.

Oh baby, you’ve mistaken me
For someone who can process his emotions.
I’m shaking anaphylactically
At the thought of being psychically open.

Emotions makes you nuts
They containing traces
I’m itching voraciously

So I keep my lid locked shut
It’s healthy and spacious
Repressing capaciously

But there’s so many feels I know I should express
Grab you by the hand and take a deep breath
Feel a sudden warmth rushing through my whole chest
Oh wait that’s inflammation I’m allergic to my emotions.

Oh baby, you’ve mistaken me
For a guy who won’t get hives from being open.
Don’t make me speak emotionally
Unless you’ve got dermatitic lotions.

You say you don’t believe that
Emotions can cause allergies.
Now you’re Googling a pollen count meter
And it’s off the charts today
Wait you’re telling me my feeling hayfever
Is caused by actual hay?
Oh man that’s a big relief, yeah
My allergy’s separate from my being
Emotionally stunted.

I’m so relieved that my immunosensitivity
Is unrelated to my shitty communicative abilities
