the lyrics in this song are RIDICULOUSLY amazing with regard to poetic devices.
assonance, consonance, repetition, alliteration... it's really crazy.
*intro
-repeated "all" (and "call" has the same sound)
-same structure with "writing all my thoughts"/"broken all my bones"
-structure repeated "you it all "
*verse 1
-the girl doesn't BELIEVE HIM that he's saying he's not a FRAUD = paradox
-the paradox that the fact that he won't pretend everything is fine is what makes things not fine between the guy and girl
-consonance "fraud/fine"
-consonance "here"/"home"
*chorus
-following again = repeating something already unoriginal/tired
-swallow/spit
*verse 2
-"out of legs to stand on"+"stand here and fight"
-entire mess of assonance and consonance with "these old habits die so hard"

song is preposterously good.
