lyrics

Part 1: Alright

All alone in the city
All alone in the open ocean
I fear that everyone gets me
Afraid denial just keeps it going

"Yours and mine"
A waste of time
You've got a lot of spine
To get it right
Well I'm a dotted line
To sign behind
You wanna change my mind?
That's fine

Certifiable mainstay
Sentimental for mind in motion
Like I'm special in history
Like believing's the same as knowing

Don't you dream
In ads and memes
An end-of-work routine
To swap my screens
And build my self esteem
On being seen
A little dopamine
Latrine

We're more alike than you'd know
Listening to talk radio
We breathe the same microplastic oxygen
And in the morning we rise
Wiping the sleep aids from our eyes
Awake in a nightmare once again

~

Part 2: Okay

Caught you wishing
Now you're living
It goes fast
Shame it isn't
Ever really gonna last

Take a little
More to keep you on the up
Lost the middle
Now you're really, truly fucked

Didn't mean to call you up
When I was losing hope
Hard to fight forgiveness in a call
Feeling more myself today
Live in between the peaks & valleys
Sadly they don't think of me at all

Goddamn the power's out again
You can add up all the stars tonight
And count them on one hand
I don't want to say I understand
I'll just bury my toes deeper in the sand

~

Part 3: Very Cool

He's an institution
He's the city's oldest cliche
No kidding
Saw him on the subway
Chasing one that's driving away

He should be the mayor
He can hear the planet's retreat
Keep spinning
We're the party favors
New Year's litter choking the streets

Everybody's fine and all
We are doing great
All our fears went aerosol
Rained into the lake
Lazy river waterfall
Give the guy a break
It's hard to see the forest for the shore

I look better bored
It's all I can afford
But I was fine before
So maybe it's not more
That we've been looking for
Hard to see the forest for the shore
For the shore
Give me more
Give me more
Give me more
