Debut single from Harper K. Smith.

lyrics

Lyrics:
I’m an isolationist but not in the political sense,
it’s just a word that best describes me.
If you get too close, you’re gonna’ get burned–
that’s the only thing I’ve learned
in 28 years on Earth.

I can’t feel, I can’t feel x3
Anything

Water it tastes like chlorine and the sun makes it so I can’t see,
and I guess they’re right, nothing satisfies me.
‘Cause even the sky looks grim
when the only calls you get
are robots trying to make money.

I can’t feel, I can’t feel x3
Anything

What does it mean to be all alone in a city of half a million or so?
It just seems like nobody ever sees me.
On a crowded street, I’m the only ghost–nobody ever wants to get
too close to me, that’s why I...

I can’t feel, I can’t feel x3
Anything
