about

A song about situations I've never personally been in! First thing I made was the chorus, and I fell in love with it immediately and was like "ok, what do I write around this?" I didn't figure it out so I just threw up some words about how the man sucks and how I could be worse off and blah blah blah. Don't take life for granted!

lyrics

I could find a boat and take it down the river
End up in the ocean, which is so much bigger
Than the quiet suburb I grew up in
The same one I lived my life in until
I got the hell out and called it a day
Moved out, took the cat, told my friends I ran away
Now I got a new name and no friends
Or family, if this is the adult life then adult life's pretty shitty

This world
Seems so damn disconnected
And I sometimes feel disjointed, pointed in the wrong direction
All my plans go south hit the coast of Florida then back up, low on gas, like they're following my compass

And it
Gets closer every day
Fitting us in tiny cubicles to work us for our pay
What a way to live, you work until the grave, and after you're dead the Man takes it all away

I could be an alcoholic
But that's way too damn expensive
Drinking to get through the day would end up making me feel sicker
And I could take up heroin,
I know where to stick the needle in
For the best high, but it'd leave me hollow and bitter and
I'm running out of things to do to cure this sickness
That I'm feeling, and all this sadness in my head
Go to bed, wake up, go through the day
Pretend I feel alright pretend I feel okay

This world
Seems so damn disconnected
And I sometimes feel disjointed, pointed in the wrong direction
All my plans go south hit the coast of Florida then back up, low on gas, like they're following my compass

And it
Gets closer every day
Fitting us in tiny cubicles to work us for our pay
What a way to live, you work until the grave, and after you're dead the Man takes it all away

This world
Seems so damn disconnected
And I sometimes feel disjointed, pointed in the wrong direction
All my plans go south hit the coast of Florida then back up, low on gas, like they're following my compass

And the end
Is getting closer every day
You are living on borrowed time so don't waste it all away
Appreciate, all the ones, in your life that make you happy
Cause there will be a day where you'll see them go away
