lyrics

ever drain away every fuckin' emotional asset you might've ever had
into that endearing wreck of a broad who drags you into her fucked up consciousness
two wasted years and only visible age to show
and the never-ending IOU
oh, fuck. get out of my life.

it's obvious we've both moved on
can't say i miss you much
but still somehow i care about you
buried underneath miles of resent and such
i no longer crave your chemistry
all that's really left is lust
friendship is gonna be impossible if i'm near you
our distance is a must
your faux-wit's lost its charm, my dear
the meme-spouting's contrived
and all truth be told, when i look back
i'm struck with the question: why?
no doubt my eyes should wander
circa when you lost your luster
i deserve a go-getter girl
and a lifestyle, while you just barely muster getting by

(chorus)
i deserve so much more
false hope is all you were good for
you won't bring me down
nor burden my life anymore

hold up, let's put this shit in perspective now.

the question's not whether i love you or not
but more along the lines of retaining my sanity
and let's not forget the weight of my own integrity i bear
i'll not gloss over my inherent vanity
there's no emotion you've not made me feel
the simple truths you birth so nonchalant, but realistically
what i need is a bourgeois broken soul more akin to myself, a blunt savant
i've finally reached that inglorious mountaintop
and weathered the reaming realization:
you've a kind heart, of that i'm sure
but it's more what lies underneath an exterior so demure
the question is not how much you mean to me now
or how much you did way back when
you'll always hold a place in my heart
but you're just a pretty puzzle piece, you'll never fit in the end

(chorus) x 2

about

Monomate Portland, Oregon

Once upon a time, I made nintendocore. Then I released a noisy double album of mostly mashups and remixes. I'm currently working on an 80s dance album and a 90s alt-rock album.
