Telepathy, Part I

you're so hidden
you're so afraid
i caught you staring at me
are you ready to downgrade?

you laughed and rolled your eyes back
as an accolade
have you used your fingers to tear apart
my accidental blockade?

boy, you didn't have to
there's a window just for you
a string with two cans 
stuck under the shut glass
the window is locked, but the string's still there
tell me about your messed up hair
'cause you know i know it's fine
it's so fine, damn

you made a witty joke
what a handsome scam
deprive me of my thoughts
drain my blood, don't let it clot

is it gaslighting if you know i'm gone?
if you know it's right, is it wrong?
if you heard it, were there really words?
is it conversation if no one talks first?
is it sci-fi if i've done it mentally?
is it not if there's unreal chemistry?

baby, you have to choose
but i already know your choice
i saw it when you came
when you looked at me in your fantasies

you didn't say it
but i know what you said
without the words, you told me
we're users of telepathy
