This song is about getting pestered by adults

decision fatigue

This song came together when I was researching QAnon and its impact on family dynamics during the pandemic. Most of the song is told from the pov of a guy whose dad is consumed with conspiracy theories. The bridge is from the pov of the dad himself. This is kind of a classic "upbeat song with sad lyrics" situation

LYRICS
Where'd you go? We miss you
You're not the father I looked up to
I can't pretend like this doesn't affect me
Do you remember last summer
When none of this really mattered?
I would give anything just to have that you with me

Well, I guess you're too far gone
I can't make peace with your loss
It's too much for me to handle
When you're sinking
Yeah, you're falling in a vat of adrenochrome

I'll be honest, I don't blame you
I was bored at the beginning of the lockdown too
I talked to all of the kids and they said that they still love you
"It's the best thing that's ever happened"?
Well, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to grapple with
I would give anything just for you to move past this

Well, I guess you're too far gone
I can't make peace with your loss
It's too much for me to handle
When you're sinking
Yeah, you're falling in a vat of adrenochrome

Stop calling me
I refuse to pick up for someone who can never ascend
It's sad to see you so brainwashed
But I've made peace with your loss
My lips are blue 'cause I haven't moved in so long
And I haven't moved 'cause I'm with Q for the long haul

Well, I guess you're too far gone
I can't make peace with your loss
It's too much for me to handle
When you're sinking
Yeah, you're falling in a vat of adrenochrome

Guess you're too far gone
I can't make peace with your loss
It's too much for me to handle
When you're sinking
Yeah, you're falling in a vat of adrenochrome

my lips are blue

A song about being bombarded with clickbait 😎😌

~ LYRICS ~
Last night
I went to the Tower of London
To catch the bear on tape
It didn't go super well

It turns out
He killed with a glance
Gave another PTSD
The bear was like
"Bet you can't give me a run for my money"

And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money
And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

Last night
My car died on the expressway
I tried to flag someone down
It didn't go super well

Turns out
He had a car full of parts
Tried to lend a hand to me
But when I dropped it, he was like
"Bet you can't give me a run for my money"

And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money
And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

Bet you can't give me a
Bet you can't give me a run
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

Bet you can't give me a
Bet you can't give me a run
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money
And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money
And I can't, no I can't, I can't do this anymore
Bet you can't give me a run for my money

Nocturne

weird little indie rock/synthpop song about getting invited to a party after 4 months stuck at home

LYRICS:
I'm burning up
I can feel my brain melting through the cracks inside my skull
Why am I invited?
I hate having to force myself into another box

I've been looking to dodge people awhile
I'd go to any length
Walk any kind of mile
My boring interests are the gifts that keep on giving
But I hate taking planes
So hurl me from a building

I'm in the backseat
Tryna focus on my book 'cause it's such a long drive out east
Why am I invited?
Don't know what I'm doing here, not old enough to bring the beer

I've been looking to dodge people awhile
I'd go to any length
Walk any kind of mile (Stop)
My boring interests are the gifts that keep on giving
But I hate taking planes
So hurl me from a building

I'm just gonna go elsewhere
I can't help it
My social life goes nowhere
It was okay for a minute
But Lacepede and all your weed said maybe I should go and dip

I've been looking to dodge people awhile
I'd go to any length
Walk any kind of mile
My boring interests are the gifts that keep on giving
But I hate taking planes
So hurl me from a building

I've been looking to dodge people awhile
I'd go to any length
Walk any kind of mile
My boring interests are the gifts that keep on giving
But I hate taking planes
So hurl me from a building

I've been looking to dodge people awhile
I'd go to any length
Walk any kind of mile
My boring interests are the gifts that keep on giving
But I hate taking planes
So hurl me from a building

Planes

A song about the apocalypse according to the Book of Revelation but it's summer so who cares

LYRICS:
Lie outside in the sun on the tennis court
Just another summer apocalypse
Thirty demons sizzling in a kiddie pool
"Leviathan!" on my lips

Oh, did you really have to make this harder?
We take turns holding the locust underwater

Take a walk to Youngs Farm on a Monday
With a deaths'-head hawkmoth in tow
Turning back, we forgot all our money
And the fact that Youngs Farm is closed

Why did this have to happen? I hate it
Watch me give up and jump right off the Throgs Neck Bridge

I'll be right back, I need some holy water
691 American birds
Hang them by their necks until they change direction
Towards all the memories we had to burn

I'll be in the back with the leviathan
He keeps complaining, he hates being here
He's got a broken back, which is a Revelation
And he's tired of the eagle-headed deer

Oh, did you really have to make this harder?
We take turns holding the locust underwater
Why did this have to happen? I hate it
Watch me give up and jump right off the Throgs Neck Bridge

Oh, did you really have to make this harder?
We take turns holding the locust underwater
Why did this have to happen? I hate it
Watch me give up and jump right off the Throgs Neck Bridge

Scorpion-tailed Locust

Despite the lyrics, I did not actually charge anyone. I strongly considered it however.

LYRICS
My friend and I are just tryna vibe
Yeah, you had to come and kill it
But I like the attention, I can't lie
I'll sign all your aquarium maps

You wanna know the function of every little fin and all the little gill slits?
Well, take my knowledge
Take everything I have

I get caught in the convo again
And I'm just like a pleco in a dipnet
I dig in my spines and I rattle off

I could never be anything you want me to be!
But if you want the tour, I'm afraid it won't be free (I don't work here)
This can go in my college essay, that's a win
I just hope they don't follow us to the penguins (They're not my strong suit)

I'm the blind leading the blind
As we're picking through Glover's Reef
We're caught between schools of chromis and fools
They're all whistling through their teeth

That they wanna know the function of every little fin and all the little gill slits
Well, take my knowledge
Take everything I have

I get caught in the convo again
And I'm just like a pleco in a dipnet
I dig in my spines and I rattle off

I could never be anything you want me to be!
But if you want the tour, I'm afraid it won't be free (I don't work here)
This can go in my college essay, that's a win
I just hope they don't follow us to the penguins (They're not my strong suit)

I could never be anything you want me to be!
But if you want the tour, I'm afraid it won't be free (I don't work here)
This can go in my college essay, that's a win
I just hope they don't follow us to the penguins (They're not my strong suit)

I Don't Work Here

I Don’t Work Here

~ LYRICS ~
I'm probably allergic to you
Lucky there's an electric fence
This bag of cookies could kill you
I keep downwind so you don't smell them

Otto, I-I-I
Can't wait to see you
When I'm comin' by

But you never greet me
When I'm walking down the street
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through

It's like you don't even know me
Dumb dog, I pass you every day
Not gonna let this get to me
Bring home my stuff past the weed cake

Otto, I-I-I
Can't wait to see you
When I'm comin' by

But you never greet me
When I'm walking down the street
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through

Otto, I-I-I
Can't wait to see you
When I'm comin' by

But you never greet me
When I'm walking down the street
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through

Otto, I-I-I
Can't wait to see you
When I'm comin' by

But you never greet me
When I'm walking down the street
You hate to see it
I'm coming through
You hate to see it
I'm coming through

You Hate to See It

LYRICS:
Down by Youngs Farm there's a fallen tree
And it blocks all the cars from painting me on the street
So I run
And my knuckles rust

And down by Youngs Farm where "Roger That" screams
It's enough just to let the rain cover me
So I run
Till it's not enough anymore

If I walk to your car
Just far enough to make me
The fool in the yard
That's when we'll talk
Guess what?
I think I'm better off alone

Down by the harbor there's a little tent
And a noose strangling the poles of a fence
Where I run
And my knuckles rust

And down by the harbor where the pre-schoolers scream
There's a tent full of jumpers and a chub in the creek
And I run
And I dig my head in the sand

If I walk to your car
Just far enough to make me
The fool in the yard
That's when we'll talk
Guess what?
I think I'm better off alone

And you
You've always been tough to crack open
But I think that's fine
'Cause I've had fun trying

Yeah, you
You've always been tough to crack open
But I think that's fine
I just don't have the time

If I walk to your car
Just far enough to make me
The fool in the yard
That's when we'll talk
Guess what?
I think I'm better off alone

If I walk to your car
Just far enough to make me
The fool in the yard
That's when we'll talk
Guess what?
I think I'm better off alone
