lyrics

So... it... kicks off with a sense of camaraderie facing global anxiety.
Eventually, this home feels more foreign than anywhere else I've been.
And I could blame it on the local bars.
Yeah, I could blame it on the downtown scene.
Could blame it on the desperation for external validation.
Oh, yeah.

The doom and gloom become stagnation,
Or egocentric masturbation.
Is there even a distinction between these twisted inhibitions?
Is this survival or our fall?
Lost and forgotten like Stonewall?
Can we congratulate ourselves because we see cracks on the walls?

A wide selection of chaos to focus on.
And yet I get fixated on a fantasy that is forlorn.

Now I am just a ghost
Haunting the living room where you supplement yourselves.
Consumed by the bitterness over the times that I got close
To having what you have:
Love right upon your grasp
Contained within the walls of a space that you all share.
Don't mind my lonesome hums.

Don’t mind my lonesome hums.
