Sold Out
lyrics
A bug drowns itself in my
Glass of wine,
But it's drunk as hell so it doesn't mind
That I've swallowed it whole,
In fact, it's the trip of a lifetime.
It's a trip, that's what I've heard
And all speculation is absurd
And I won't know until I've observed.
So I climb inside
A red sea with buoyancy
That surprises me,
My extremities no longer belong to me
As I float from side to side
With limp fingers and toes.
She said "baby, stop pretending."
I said "maybe I will someday soon.
It's all that I can do."
Trust me, I'm not just lazy
Without these voices I'd go crazy too.
So I invented you.
It's all based on something else,
The nostalgia that I've felt,
So I blame the generalizations.
At the same time, it's all I've got,
A chain of who begot
The next big thing that I would love to be.
A sophomoric expectation,
A critical lamentation,
Clean divides of decades.
Though it's ended I can't help but wish
That their life was some type of gift
And they've found their peace in the rift.
A cliche of rock and roll,
To copy the Rolling Stones.
But who were they in the first place?
So I copy you and you copy them and
They copied someone else from somewhere else,
An anxious game of show and tell.
