Dark times ingratiate, I scream "hello binge"
Everything is yellow tinged; I guess this dream has jaundice
Pa**ed out red-faced just to see who could scream the longest
Found the secret answer only to learn it wasn't what I wanted
Now my head hurts and I don't know the pa**words
I rooted my fingers in dead dirt to catch the last worms
The legion of shark-faced men with their daggers out
Couldn't approach the speeding zen of the blabbermouth
I listened to that folk band
Learned the chords to Old Man
Bought pounds of fair-trade coffee in lieu of roast ham
Built a secure fortress around all my insecurities
And bought a Brita filter to strip water of impurities
[Hook]
I scrubbed my palms of hot cheeto dust
I sang the ordination song for vito on the bus
(x2)
Grow a neckbeard just to shave it off again
Try harder to fit in with my girlfriend's friends
I need a restroom break
An excuse to sit on a dirty toilet listening to Neptune Estate
f** those white girls with Indian headdresses
I've been restless but never reckless
While all my friends got drunk I flipped poems for a per diem to buy hot lunch
Now my belly stays round, I know I barely been around
[Hook]
I scrubbed my palms of hot cheeto dust
I sang the ordination song for vito on the bus
(x2)
Draped in Hong Kong polyester, sang the wrong songs among the throngs of court jesters
I scribbled words on the walls of my mother's house
Post-it note aesthetics in lieu of bread crumbs trailed about
Then my tone deepened
But first my voice cracked
I had a banner but no courage found to hoist that
They came to every rap show, I tried to act nicer
But it was easier to hide in a corner and read Jack Spicer
Then your favorite rapper lets you down one more time
(x4)
