I may record a demo of this, but I'm not sure an acoustic performance will be enough to get my vision for this lyric across. I definitely wrote it with the intention of fleshing out a full music track. And some Lo-Fi vocals maybe. Anyway, hopefully you enjoy and thanks for checking it out :)
V1
I've been talking to the ghosts in the walls
Cause you don't pick up when I call
I left a hundred messages
You left me nothing at all
Pre
If I twist, if I bend
If I fold, can I mend
This broken dream
Would you come back to me?
Chorus
I'm the contortionist
If I can make it fit, I do
Twist myself in knots for you
Twist myself in knots for you
V2
I've been playing pretend
With the phantom in my bed
Was that you whispering
Or was it in my head
Pre
If I twist, if I bend
If I fold, can I mend
This broken dream
Would you come back to me?
Chorus
I'm the contortionist
If I can make it fit, I do
Twist myself in knots for you
Twist myself in knots for you
Bridge
I'm tired of being alone
Staring at my phone
Playing house all on my own
Pre
If I twist, if I bend
If I fold, can I mend
This broken dream
I'm tearing at the seams
Outro
I'm the contortionist
If I can make it fit, I do
Twist myself in knots
I'm the contortionist
If I can make it fit, I do
Twist myself in knots
I'm the contortionist
If I can make it fit, I do
Twist myself in knots
For you
Twist myself in knots for you

Ooooh. Yeah. I like the way that I’m not sure what to root for. The singer wants the singee back, but. i don’t know if that’s such a good idea. The track on my head would definitely work as a guitar vocal

Oh yeah, this is great! Some of your best lyrics I think and I know you'll turn them into something really special with that incredible emotion you're able to deliver with your vocals. I'd recommend that you be really picky about getting the right music for it because it's too damn good not to get just right. Super nice work.
