lyrics

walked into your living room
potted plants where nails hang on the walls
feels like a movie to me
one where a different life took place and i don’t belong
called out of work today
get a paycheck and checkout for moving my hands about

never notice glassy eyes
office chic anesthetized
fall apart too many times
not connected, cauterized

mom and dad i hope you’re proud of me
god only knows, i think you’re supposed to be
shrugging off entropy, behave so responsibly
things could be worse

counting lights from your westside laundromat
watch for cops, i got plates that aren’t from around here
feeling out the best route to ride my bike home
hypothetically making use of my time alone

nom and dad send in the calvary
god only knows I behave so responsibly

walked into your living room
noticed that your liquor cabinet is stocked better than mine
your throw rug just stared at me you yuppies love your tapestries
i know this is not my life and that’s all right
cause things could be worse.

by The Unending Thread

Mathy, yet smooth. I dig the dual vocals and hope you do too. Cesar from TUT is a buddy of ours who we have played several shows together with in LA! They're a lot of fun. birdluck
