every day is exactly the same
when you're locked in the basement
change something new every once in awhile
but there's nothing to do, there's nu nu nothing to do
try try try and you try again
it's the same place as before
like the poison inside your veins
you just can't ignore
in shambles
dead walking
in shambles
quit talking
move on, through your job, through your life, to the light
it's the same every day
lock yourself inside your home
you'll be fine til the end of the day
the nothing creeps from behind
and you know it's got something to say
even walking beside yourself
there's no possible way
in shambles
dead walking
in shambles
quit talking
step past the puke
step past the trash
step past the newspaper
and fall flat on your ass
every day is exactly the same
when you're locked in the basement
change something new every once in awhile
but there's nothing to do, there's nu nu nothing to do
try try try and you try again
it's the same place as before
like the poison inside your veins
you just can't ignore
in shambles
dead walking
in shambles
quit talking

i have to take a shower
real quick and hot
the ad in the podcast for boner pills
is that how you get it together
i have to run to the bank
make a quick deposit
it's not much but it's something
just to get it together
i have to go get some groceries
just some veggies and toilet paper
something to cook for dinner
start to get it together
i need to update my computer
get the caffeine down
sudo apt full-upgrade
i can't get it together
don't compare yourself to others
stop all that doomscrolling
just try this holistic remedy
that i made with my puke
i want you to tell me what your sign is
"severe tire damage"
i want you to tell me what your house is
"i live in a fucking apartment"
i have to go buy some makeup
nothing ritzy, nothing fancy
just something to impress the rocks with
kind of get it together
i should pick up some smokes
and wander around downtown
watch out for that guy i used to work with
he hasn't got it together
i should probably vacuum
there's some shmuts in the corners
niles and frasier are bickering
surely they've got it together
i should go to sleep
maybe sleep on my arm again
twenty hours of brown noise
and the print on my face
i'll trade you my brain
for that awesome PA head
population: bar cover bands
and sincere "live, laugh, love" signage
i want you to tell me what your sign is
"no outlet"
i want you to tell me what your house is
"well i might pull off rent this month"
and i slept on my arm
i slept on my arm
i slept on my arm
and now it tingles
