Zoë Emery - Panacea Lyrics

Monogamy might be a false dichotomy
Maybe it is true what they said about you
Maybe I am in love with an idea
But maybe you are my panacea
Tepid coffee, lukewarm tea
Apples eaten with the seeds
Enough seeds for cyanide
I love potassium chloride
Cold feet are just symptoms of anemia
My breath smells like bulimia
So don't kiss me
I make plans just so they
Can go awry
I always feel like the Catcher in the Rye
And you're a catch
So it seems like you're running away
And it doesn't help that you constantly say
That "there's always somewhere new"
Because all I hear
Is "I don't want to settle down
Because settling down means that I'm settling for you"
Your fingers smell like popcorn and movie ticket stubs
Or is it just the smell of cigarette butts
Either way I, I wouldn't judge
I'm an addict myself, to holding a grudge
Someone once told me I'm like Tyler Durden
By far the most interesting single-serving friend
Tepid coffee, lukewarm tea
Apples eaten with the seeds
Enough seeds for cyanide
I love potassium chloride
And I know
I know I make it difficult
I know I make it difficult to be with me

Monogamy might be a false dichotomy
Maybe it is true what they said about you
Maybe I am in love with an idea
But maybe you are my panacea
Tepid coffee, lukewarm tea
Apples eaten with the seeds
Enough seeds for cyanide
I love potassium chloride
Cold feet are just symptoms of anemia
My breath smells like bulimia
So don't kiss me
I make plans just so they
Can go awry
I always feel like the Catcher in the Rye
And you're a catch
So it seems like you're running away
And it doesn't help that you constantly say
That "there's always somewhere new"
Because all I hear
Is "I don't want to settle down
Because settling down means that I'm settling for you"
Your fingers smell like popcorn and movie ticket stubs
Or is it just the smell of cigarette butts
Either way I, I wouldn't judge
I'm an addict myself, to holding a grudge
Someone once told me I'm like Tyler Durden
By far the most interesting single-serving friend
Tepid coffee, lukewarm tea
Apples eaten with the seeds
Enough seeds for cyanide
I love potassium chloride
And I know
I know I make it difficult
I know I make it difficult to be with me
