​trigger warning

[Intro]
I cut myself to pieces
I cut myself to pieces to feel alive

[Chorus]
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?
How come I feel vacant when the waves crash down?
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?
How come I feel vacant when the tide goes out?

[Verse 1]
How come I feel vacant? Won't you meet me in the basement?
Someday, I'm getting out of this old town
Won't you meet me in the basement, buy a ticket at the station? How come I feel vacant despite who's around?

[Bridge]
I killed myself to make it here on time
I cut myself to pieces to feel alive

[Verse 2]
Every neighbor has a gun
I'm lucky i didn’t pull the trigger
Seventeen, the world was bigger
Now, I find I'm growing bitter
Every neighbor has someone
I'm lucky my feet hit the ground
The bruises on my neck turned brown
And I'd take it all back right now

[Chorus]
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?
How come I feel vacant when the waves crash down?
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?
How come I feel vacant when the tide goes out?
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?
How come I feel vacant when the waves crash down?
Won’t you meet at the station? I'm running out of patience
How come I feel vacant? How come I feel vacant?

[Outro]
I cut myself to pieces
I killed myself to make it
