lyrics

It hurts to realize you're a basketcase
It hurts to see yourself a masochist
It hurts to realize just how much you’ve always cared
your heart as unrepaired
always scared of what you never dared to do
never dared to share
never dared to love
and I don't want to take this feeling underground, no

My tires hit the 210 going inland
staring at the solar system center as it's risen
radio voices magnetic talking 'bout death apathetic
never trust 'em, maybe its genetic maybe I'm just entitled
to think that 'cause we walk on two legs
we're exempt from the shark eats the fish eats the insect
now the stage has been set
my people making sure their will and testament properly indexed

I quit inhaling plants to numb my pain
and all my insecurities went down the drain
but came back as the rain again
and I'm refraining entertaining or explaining picture painting
containing its remaining sustaining mark on me

I pinch myself when I'm dreaming
pinching pennies when I'm scheming how I might
get myself a house or a golden retrieving quadruped
another stranger in my bed
instead of something wholesomer
all summer locked down!?

iPhone iPhone in my hands,
make me look perfect for the 'gram
make me sparkle glitter so no one
finds out who I really am

I'm bleeding rainbows and crying mimosas
when I think all the personas
I tried like cheap aromas to not expose us
superficiality overthrows us and I can't break free
hoping to change the image my mirror reflects at me
going in debt to celebrate my married-friends-to-be
play my clarinet when I need a little therapy
