Lyrics

take it easy honey
catch me toeing the line
lost in a role i play
stuck in a video game
armed with a safety pin
overly confident
my skin is airy thin
but my game is rigged to win
i keep my head up
fill up your empty cup
all in the name of love
while you get the hang of
a shade that suits me
it’s not natural beauty
the line of duty
collapses into me

i — lay out all the basic science
i try — to make it fit, it’s mystifying
i can get along — my spine’s a rotted two by four
barely hanging on — my benevolence just hits the floor
i get bored

lord knows i tried
i keep my mind occupied
watch for the falling tide
make an exit on the sly
armed with a memory
surely will stay with me
fragments of misery
feeding off my body
i keep my eyes shut
sage advice to rebut
a blind squirrel finds a nut
mapping out the shortcuts
20 questions
dexterous protesting
& what a blessing
say you’ve been manifesting

i — lay out all the basic science
i try — to make it fit its mystifying
i can get along — my spine’s a rotted 2 by 4
barely hanging on — my benevolence just hits the floor
i get bored
i get bored
