“Malfunction”
Written by Isabella Bunny Bennett

Who am I? What am I? What’s inside?
That’s causing this Malfunction

Mislabeled, unable, To repair this Mal-
Functioning just fine, I’m alive

At this junction of dysfunction, We arrive

What’s your Malfunction?
Don’t be scare, It don’t matter how you wear your hair

What’s your Malfunction?
Find its mirth, perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth

Gold, silver, copper, bronze
The dullest metal can still be strong

Well we might have our share of ticks
But honey that’s how we get our kicks

Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!

My function’s desire
Climb higher than a spider on the wire

You function in mirth
But that sector might need rebirth

I’m about to pick you up
get you back up on your feet
you don’t need to worry love
Even if we’re incomplete

Come on baby open up
Pull out the wires and trim the fluff
Be yourself sounds so cliche
But hey let's do it anyway

We’re functioning just fine, we’re alive
At this junction of dysfunction we are arrive

What’s your Malfunction?
Don’t be scare, It don’t matter how you wear your hair
What’s your Malfunction?
Bring it forth perfect’s a bore for what it’s worth

Curvy, skinny, or bizarre
The best shape is who you are
Raise your hand if you’re not from a mold (yeah me)
Varied strings are worth more than gold

Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl function away
Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!

Feel the fires as they tickle your face
Watch and learn as they make you feel disgrace
Ones and zeroes left over, left out to haunt
Comb them in and let them want

I want more from this stupid life
Do you want more from this stupid life? (oh yeah)
Ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes
Add them up, take them up, show them

I’m functioning just fine I’m alive
At my junction of dysfunction we arrive

What’s their Malfunction?
It’s a start; Can we teach them not to fall apart?
Their Malfunction isn’t us, it’s all the clamor and the fuss

When I say that I love you, dammit Janet, take it as truth
Everything’s a little broken
To be pristine well you must be jokin’

Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away

"You don't need to worry, love, even if we're incomplete, " makes me melt every time. The way Bunny sings 'love' especially. Her voice is so warm and soothing ♡

[krislaracoelho]

This was updated exactly while I was having a serious depressive crisis. You guys can't imagine how much I needed this song right now. Thank you, guys.

[steampoweredpines]

I'd run forever if I could. Even breathing, no joint pain and at high speeds.
I'd run so long. Maybe one day I'd wouldn't have to run. Maybe someone would stop me.

But I can't run forever. I'm stuck here. Forced to walk to my destinations.

After all when we run...it's always in circles.
Maybe one day I'll break free and run forever my own way

But maybe...just maybe..I won't ever have to run.

This is an absolutely wonderful song of strength and power. There's an amazing message of determination to be what you are despite what society might consider "normal" that is severly lacking in most music out there. Many, many thanks for this opus

I stopped listening to you guys after MK III came out and I don't remember why, but I regret it. You guys have put so much inspiration back into me to get back into music again. I gave up the guitar a few months ago and the piano shortly before that. I feel like I want to pick both back up and it's all thanks to you guys.

Also, this song made me feel so much better about who I am. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for years and I always thought I was a freak for it, on top of never really having any friends in my life. I honestly can't believe I let your music escape my life and I can't wait for the next album with Zero.

Woop woop the three automaton angels uploaded! Unfortunately, I am in History class, and cannot enjoy this song fully, meaning I can't rip out my Bluetooth and belt the words out at the top of my lungs. So, while the movie about Machu Pichhu starts, I shall type, have a great day and great work!

[deliriousscot]

This is a great song and I'm so glad it's finally on Spotify so I can add it to my comfort playlist

[froggyranger]

This song helped me to accept myself and to improve myself. Thank you.

[TriantansFireblade]

Eeee, they're finally releasing Quintessential here for people who are broke like me <3

[zcowboy]

This song made me cry the first time I heard it and it always brings back a bittersweet feeling every time I listen to it. I found this band when I was at my lowest and i'm doing much better now. Love you SPG.

[sleightofbland]

This song has helped me through so much self-doubt and depression. Truly amazing uwu

[nekobat]

I love this! It's ok to be yourself. Just because you're different doesn't mean there's something wrong.

[flamesofblood]

Still love this song <3. Can't wait for the new album!

[scarecrow]

Pretty sure this was the song that made me love you guys. It's so good and feels...amazing. in a world where unless you're "pristine and perfect, without flaws", this song about how it's fine to be abnormal and "malfunctioning" gives me life

[neverforgetthesorrow]

You guys are amazing. I hope to meet you all one day.

[Леся-бз]

Whoa I know the next song I'll be listening to on repeat

[Garlicsvids]

People say that I'm weird for being hyper but I can't help it. ADHD will do that to me but I don't care. I don't care how I look. I don't care if I'm weird. That's just how I function with my malfunction

[sofia-andreacruz]

You did a good job on this. Hope I can see more!

[smilesguy]

Great song great message yes, but can we TALK ABOUT THAT COVER ART, HOLY MOLY THAT THING IS COOL LOOKIN!

[noonespecial]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It got me through some tough times. You guys are so amazing!
