    Favorite Alex G lyrics, reminds me of something Elliott would write.
    "Don't talk to me and pretend you care.
    He's not here, he's not there, he's not anywhere."

    Don't you know that stuff comes off
    You're not so tough
    I'll meet you at the backdoor with the baggie and a light
    It'll keep it off your mind
    Don't talk to me and pretend you care
    he's not here, he's not there, he's not anywhere
    Miss you already
    Now we miss you already
    Now we miss you already
    You forgot the place you knew
    The figure carved into your arm is fading by the day
    Soon it will go away
    Don't talk to me and pretend you care
    you're not here, you're not there, you're not anywhere
