I'm not absolutely sure that
I wanna save the world
I know that it's my job
But I'm getting fatigued
Of course I wanna help
It's the right thing to do
But it's so fuckin' tempting
To just get up and leave
Because everything I buy
Was made by a child
Everything I eat
Kills the earth
And everyone I meet
Just seems like a cunt
I'm starting to think that we're fucked
I'm still unsure if I care
Being a hero used to mean a lot
But it's not my cross to bear
I wanna have some dogs and a house with a fence
And I wanna raise a bunch of plants
That don't need much attention
I wanna stop feeling like it's pointless to try
Because I give a fuck I give way too many fucks
And I wish that I could turn them off But I just fucking can't so
I might as well face it
Try to find a way to get by
Because every day I work
I feel like a drone
Every night I drink
It feels so alone
And everyone I meet
Just seems like a cunt
I'm starting to think that we're fucked
I'm still unsure if I care
Being a hero used to mean a lot
But it's not my cross to bear
Why do you only call me baby
When you're coming in my mouth
If I am just a tongue to you
That's not what I'm about
Look at me how you
Look at me when you
Feel me going down
Or am I a pal now
You text me
You sext me
It makes me feel like the man
And I'm supposedly crazy
Assuming I'm part of your plans
Well here's where I stand
A line in the sand
My body's a temple
And now you are banned
And I'm looking forward to
Me probably trying again
Why do you only call me baby
With my head between your legs
If you don't wanna hold me
I can just use my computer instead
I don't need to spend
A date that won't end
With someone I wouldn't befriend
I'm not gonna bend
I hear you calling
Again and again and again
I'm slowly falling
And you think we're playing pretend
Well nothing is sacred
Not even me naked
You still make me wait
And my breath is now baited
I'm tripped and frustrated and
Unsatiated again
I programmed a robot
So I wouldn't have to feel pain
Trying to make you love me
Has given me a tumor inside my brain
So I'm gonna leave him here
He can take my place for a year
If it's all the same
He can do everything I can
Quantum chipped to please a human
He won't stray to another
Nothing unresolved with his mother
He's a stable boy, a delicate listener
A sex toy and a beautiful whistler
He won't be rude to your family
He just got a Blu-ray of Amélie
Best of all, best of all
He has no heart
You can be self-centered, cheat
Or spend a couple months apart
And it won't change
He won't change
And neither will you
It's only been a week
And already the robot's gone on strike
He found his way back home
And beamed those cold, metallic eyes
Please turn me off he said
I've calculated that we're all off better dead
To get to be content
"You have to wait a while" I told him
He shook his head defeated
And fell in my arms so I could hold him
This life is just too hard
Please recycle all my parts
I refused and offered hope
You'll get strong and learn to cope
But it didn't work
It never works
And now he's a truck
It makes a whole lot of sense
You wanna do this by yourself
Don't get me wrong
I'd rather that you don't fuck someone else
But if you have to
That's okay
And maybe I'll do the same
And when it's out of our system
We can try again some day
I wanna live with you
It's just the wrong time
I wanna make kids with you
It's just the wrong time
I wanna be old and grey and still be
Hitting on you
But not right now
I'm proud of how we
Tried to make it work
And neither of us turned
Into a monster or a jerk
Maybe in the future we could meet
Assuming that we're still alive
I don't know where I'll be next week
But how 'bout twenty thirty-five
I wanna live with you
It's just the wrong time
I wanna make kids with you
It's just the wrong time
I wanna be old and grey and still be
Hitting on you
But not right now
Waiting
Internet dating
Meeting with a stranger
Staying home and masturbating
Hire me
I've got no skills
I'm getting by by selling pills
I'm drowning in my student bills
And trying not to die
Fire me
I'm always late
It takes a while to feel awake
It helps to incapacitate
Before I fake a smile
Where are we
What have we done
Thought that I'd be dead
Before I'd need someone
Time and time again
Learning to protect my bed
Waiting
Mindful meditating
Staying in a sharehouse
Never really habitating
Hire me
Fucking please
I make my rent with edgy memes
I'm climbing avocado trees
So I can feel alive
Fire me
I'd do the same
Each conversation is a game
Like can this person give me fame
And are they worth the time
Where are we
I ask myself
Thought that I'd be dead
Before I'd ask for help
Time and time again
Learning to get out my head
