Lyrics:
I’m glued to the thoughts in my mind (Mind)
They pester like a hawk in the sky
I am glued to the love in you (In you)
It swallows me whole, your heart can’t let go
Oh, that’s not what I wanna do (Oh no)
Perfectly attached like a noodle in the soup (Huh)
You’re good with the X-Y-Z (Y-Z)
I’m good with the A-B-C
And D-E-F-G, H-I-J-K, baby
We all have our strong suits built differently
Different experience, different needs
I know we can’t die at the same time and place
I don’t wanna think about the morbid parts of life no more
I’m trying just to focus on the things that hold me so damn close
I’m sticky, sticky, stuck and solidly sealed up to this reality
I’m seeing out what I wish to be achieving, the old idea of me is
Glued up, sometimes it’s too much
I’m fucked up and clueless (Clueless)
I’m stuck in the vortex, stuck in the vortex
Glue-less, life would be boring
Empty but no hurting (Hurting)
Is it necessary? Detachment is scary
When my petty feet start to sway (Sway)
You better turn around the other way (Walk away)
When the doubt starts creeping in (Oh no)
It’s hard to let go of all instinctual
Patterns that I picked up from the environment since a baby
Cut the negatives of talkin’, cut out my procrastination
Being sticky, stuck, glue those old habits shut
Paste me to a new way of being something
And breathe new life in me again
Glued up, sometimes it’s too much
I’m fucked up and clueless (Clueless)
I’m stuck in the vortex, stuck in the vortex (I am clueless)
Glue-less, life would be boring
Empty but no hurting (Hurting, no hurting)
Is it necessary? Detachment is scary
Glued up, sometimes it’s too much
I’m fucked up and clueless, oh, clueless, oh
Glue-less, life would be boring
Empty but no hurting, hurting, oh
Glued up, sometimes it’s too much
I’m fucked up and clueless (Clueless)
Glue-less, life would be boring
Empty but no hurting
Is it necessary? Detachment is scary
