"6 DEGREES"

Written by Ryder Houston​​​

Six degrees: it's a far away place
Where love goes to disappear without a trace
It's a place I know you've never been before
Because if you did, you wouldn't treat me like a whore
Limerence: it's the feeling of obsession
A feeling that lacks clear co-communication
A cyclical feeling of intermittent reinforcement
It's never occurred with my explicit endorsement

Six degrees and long ago
Lonely in a zoo (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
Till it all gets back to you (The action of the heart)
For the words you've never heard
And all the things you never knew (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
To travel, to travel back to you

I’m craving, I’m craving; hedonistically raving
I’m tired of sinning and lying, misbehaving
I can’t go on acting like your tool
On the tarot deck, card zero: The Fool
All the little moments and all the little gestures
Staring at the wall and memorizing textures
One more thing I keep forgetting to mention:
Thank you for affection, time, and your attention

Six degrees and long ago
Lonely in a zoo (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
Till it all gets back to you (The action of the heart)
For the words you've never heard
And all the things you never knew (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
To travel, to travel back to you

Six degrees and long ago
Lonely in a zoo (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
Till it all gets back to you (The action of the heart)
For the words you've never heard
And all the things you never knew (The human brain)
That's how long it takes, you know
To travel, to travel back to you
