I’m on a bus and I’m memorizing rites
I’m writing out the story of the day
Promises and injokes made
The cheap tricks and things I forgot to say
Stole a song from the internet
By tomorrow, it will be my favourite ever
But I’ll forget, get sick of it
Then one day wonder how I ever could

It’ll be there forever
Encased in amber
On a walk in the summer
Dreaming made-up lovers

Events decrease when I’m at peace
I start to run out of things to say
So I dwindle, and I look back
At all the unhappier yesterdays

I just hope that you like it,
I’ll pretend you’re psychic
Like you really know me
As if you really know me

Drowning in sunlight
Rendered ecstatic
By overwhelming
Inspiration
No two moments
Same as the others
You think you can just go back
And feel that way again?
I hope that you like it
Pretend you’re psychic
Like you really know me
As if you really know me
Be there forever
Encased in amber
On a walk in the summer
Dreaming made-up lovers

Pop Song

demo

Painting pictures of your poverty
Looking like something out of Marx’s black comedy
Spending most of your nights at the pharmacy
Looking for love or at least anti-anxiety
‘Cause you know pheromones break up monotony
So you can put in better hours for monopolies
With a hundred thousand foreign franchisees
These bros will blame on folks you won’t believe
Folks, you won’t believe

Feeling like a dog chained to a fence
Take stock of the small accomplishments you’ve made
Inching towards inevitable ends
Remember fondly what it was like to get fed
How much easier it was to deal back then
When you could focus on your lovers and your friends
Now when you think of love, it’s just another need
Another need that you resent

There’s gotta be another way
Other than the ones we tried
Defeatism today
Will soon become
A point of pride
By then you’ll be on you way
To buying in
Welcome inside
To a palace made of bodies
They’re all dressed up
They’re cleaned and shined
So you can sell them
At market price

And now that you know that it’s
Your values or success
The world’s changed,
There’s nothing here for you
At least that’s left
But there’s always one sweet place
That will protect you and the virtue that you have
And darling, that’s the past
You’re living in the past

In the past, when you never felt so good
To-do list was always short enough that
You could always do the things
You said you would
In the past, when you never felt so young
Last time you were really capable of
Having fun, not just blowing off steam,
You had evidence for your self-esteem,
You could still avoid all the choices you’re gonna make
In the past, when you listened to this song
