Lyrics
I wake up in the morning or the afternoon
and I tell myself I'm fine
staring back from the glass of the bathroom mirror
for an unclear amount of time
coffee cake and thoughts that make me shiver
if I set them free
I've been self-medicating with farming and trading
on a video game machine
and these are times that remind us that some weeks can feel like seasons
they unwind from a spool of all the beds that we have dreamed in
I color in a book, dye my hair
garden for a while each day
I've been reading and napping
and I'm just top-halting my wardrobe anyway
day drinking,
not blinking to a tiger documentary
I'm in a maze of pandemic days that slip away from me
I'm in a maze of pandemic days that slip away from me
and I'm afraid my folks are gonna die
"how many days has it been? will I see you again?
I've really been missing you,"
is a thing I said out loud to myself
in the dark of my living room
I've got a pantry full of pasta noodles
and I'm learning to make bread
almost tried out bangs for once
but made new memes instead
and I'm unsure if there's a world to be explored when this is over
I want more than this ponzi scheme regime when I am sober
I color in a book, dye my hair
garden for a while each day
I've been reading and napping
and I'm just top-halting my wardrobe anyway
day drinking,
not blinking to a tiger documentary
I'm in a maze of pandemic days that slip away from me
I'm in a maze of pandemic days that slip away from me
this system is designed to reward the corrupt
and disenfranchise the children who are farmed to make profit from dust
