lyrics

Tight pantsing
And hip-hop dancing
In the glow of the phone
Nobody’s home
Text and twitter
Sad and bitter
Let’s stop off for a bite
The last of the night

Swimmin’
In a sea of stupid women
And the fat-headed men
They drowned you again
Seeing
The world of human being
Makes you wish you were blind
Or your eyes were behind

Facebooking
No one’s looking
And the sacred is gone
It didn’t stay long
Bar hopping =
Meat market shopping
When your friends drop you home
You’ve never been so alone

Caring
Has always been scary
We should’ve stayed home
Apart and alone
Grieving
The death of once believing
That you’d one day be whole—
And the death of your soul

Empty
In the land of overplenty
Well it just goes to show
There’s nowhere to go
And stars—
Unseen in sordid bars—
Are revolving in space
Your life’s such a waste
