Lyrics:

[Intro]
[jangly, slightly off-kilter electric guitar riff, choppy open strings, driving drums, bass enters]

[Verse 1]
[raspy male vocals]
White lines on the wall
It's late, I'm still here
I left the kettle on too long
Fingerprints on the fridge door glass
Every question circles
Wide awake, wide I call
My words floating upward
Two mugs in the sink, still warm
Go on, just leave

[Chorus]
[aggressive shouted vocals, heavy crash cymbals, trebly guitars buzzing through the chords]
Back up, back up, out of my room
Yeah, sure, you know me so well
Back up, back up, give me the space
I’d like the door to work for once
Back up, back up, out of my room
I said it flat, I said it fine
Back up, back up, give me the space
Go on, do the dramatic exit

[Instrumental Break]
[staccato guitar stabs with a slight chime, chiming offbeat strums, driving drum beat]

[Verse 2]
[raspy male vocals]
I've heard footsteps
Empty shoes by the door
I counted every crack in the kitchen floor
I said your name, but forgot
What it was for
Just shadows and silence
The world narrowed
Corners I don't recognize
I watched you pack the towels, remember you're gone
Remember you're gone
Just leave me alone, I said it twice

[Chorus]
[shouted vocals, wiry guitars cutting through the drums]
Back up, back up, out of my room
Don’t make me spell it out again
Back up, back up, give me the space
I’m done with your hands on my life
Back up, back up, out of my room
I hear you, I just won't react
Back up, back up, give me the space
Just go now, let me breathe

[Bridge]
[vocals become more melodic then build in intensity]
Alone's not a sentence, it's an answer
I pulled the curtain, shut out the color
I built this place for no one but myself
I built this place for myself
LEAVE OUT!

[Chorus]
[high-intensity shouting, heavy distortion, scratchy jangling guitars]
Back up, back up, out of my room
I said it plain, I said it loud
Back up, back up, give me the space
You know this place is mine right now
Back up, back up, out of my room
Don’t make me repeat it again
Back up, back up, give me the space
Just go now, let me in

[Outro]
[sustained vocal scream, feedback, guitar with a final discordant jangle]
Two words hang heavy
White lines, white lines
Go on, just leave, just leave
ALONE!
[heavy guitar chords, final drum hit]
