Aim Low

Thought I was stuck in a two-year rut
And that might not seem like much
But I’m starting to think
It’s really been my whole life
My refusal to adult
Is taking a financial toll
“Young till I die”
No long-term plan of any kind
But I know the statistics
Why should I be any different?
Not everyone makes it out
Best to accept it and not to pout
I’ll take one for the team
Since someone’s gotta go down
Alright!
But I’m taking comfort
In that "nothing matters"
I can’t regret the choices
I didn’t know I had
And I know the statistics
Why should I be any different?
I won’t pass on this struggle
The cycle ends with me
Sorry mom, I’ll be the last Jene
In the end it makes no difference
If we die alone, rich or poor
Whatever I have to tell myself to sleep at night
We’re all just marching to our deaths
So relax and just get by
Let’s go!

Hiding

I learned early on
When to keep my mouth shut
That was never her style
Oh, she talked back.
No, she didn’t take his shit
He tried to put her in her place
But she refused to fit
She got the hell out of California
I took the room she left behind
I started to understand
Why Heidi had to hide
Old friends called her crazy
When she finally had enough
But deep down they fucking knew
He had it coming
You can’t treat friends like that
We all felt it
And that’s a fucking fact
She got the hell out of California,
And I fled the room she left behind,
Now I understand
Why Heidi had to hide
There was so much I didn’t know,
We all just cowered to someone with the most fragile ego
This coast let you down
But you dealt with it the best way you knew how
And I gave myself a tattoo to honor her
“Driven by suffering” - well I guess you were
I believe you, Heidi, don’t hide

Another Day
01:45

Time to wake up and start numbing out
I've got a time clock waiting on me
Got a big bright future
Of nothing much at all
I think back on passed-on dreams
New worlds built from late night schemes
I still think we were right all along
Oh yeah
Time to detach and sleepwalk again
I've got a routine waiting on me
There is no future
There's nothing much at all
I think back on passed-on dreams
New worlds built from late night schemes
Now all I've got are tasks to complete
It's just another day
Flame still burns but it's melting me away
From protest to resistance to total apathy
No comfort in our righteousness
no doubt, no regret, no shame
Oh well, for now...
It's just another day

Slight Discomfort

Don’t tell me how to feel just because you can’t relate
Can you admit that sometimes it’s ok not to be ok?
You call it PMA but it seems more like naiveté
Disregarding reality, gaslighting till I feel crazy
“You’re harshing my vibe”
Welcome to life!
Can you recall experiencing hardship at all?
Or are you just in extreme denial?
Do you ever open your eyes?
Or are you so lucky you can choose to hide?
So sorry someone entered your bubble
Who makes you feel anything other than mellow
Eat shit if you have no empathy
Or can’t take discomfort even slightly
Fuck you if you can’t handle
When someone is being real
There’s heavy shit going on
And we don’t need your judgement at all
The earth is burning, people are dying
You’re just crying because you’re being reminded
I guess you’d prefer if we were lying?
So sorry someone’s personal
experience makes you uncomfortable
Eat shit if you have no empathy
Or can’t take discomfort even slightly
Fuck you if you can’t handle
When someone is being real
Addressing a problem is not the same as causing one
It’s not helpful to delegitimize someone else’s life
It’s toxic positivity; it’s toxic, toxic
Don’t tell me how to feel, just because you can’t relate
Can you admit that sometimes it’s ok not to be ok
You call it PMA, but it’s just naiveté
It’s hard to deny that sometimes reality just sucks

If you’ve got nothing nice to say then don’t bother
Head full of anguish, mouth full of shit
They don’t wanna know they just wanna feel
And fantasy cosplay’s making me sick
Ignorance is bliss but I know you’re faking it
Eager to adapt and drown in the deep end
Ask me how it’s going and I’ll let you down again
Again and again cuz life’s just too grim
I’ve got nothing nice to say. I won’t bother
I’ve made my peace with the walls caving in
Ask me how it’s going and I’ll let you down again
Again and again, down till the end
Misery’s a drag
At least it’s honest
We’re all screwed
If you’ve got nothing nice to say then don’t bother
Head full of anguish, mouth full of shit
Ask me how it’s going and I’ll let you down again
Again and again, I’m not giving in
Life’s a drag
At least it’s honest
I’m a drag too
