lyrics

I jaywalk every chance I get 'cause someday I might get hit.
I've always been passive and if it doesn't happen at least I got around quickly.
I lean over the weir, fascinated by the fear of the force tearing me in half,
fantasize about going over in sailboat, Dreadnought, or life raft.

Don't like that fixation is the only path towards creations that I walk down these days.
Just get over it. Know that you're ahead and split your head from the melodramatica.
Spent 6 months imploding over the fact that I won't get a chance to completely screw your life up.
Why can't I quit? Why am I such a stupid idiot?
Why can't this be enough?

My friends are always tripping over the cracks in my foundation. Apotheosizing my issues is a full-time occupation.
The apothecary offers me something to help me focus
but I'm worried it'll make me further fixate on my bullshit.
I just want an opt-out clause.

My friends are always sinking from the cracks in my foundation -
if they did I'm almost certain they wouldn't be so goddamn patient.
I wish I were a diatom. I wish that I produced
something functional for other lifeforms to use.
Oxygen intake? You don't have me to thank.

My grandfather and uncle proficiently practice the
medical profession with the utmost precision.
One asks for scalpels, the other helps families
with all sorts of issues and hands out prescriptions and
despite what some might call a genetic disposition
to help save lives from all sorts of conditions
I am ready to die.
