2AM, browsing on my computer
I feel fine, for the first time in forever
I see a picture, at once I'm falling to my knees
I know I shouldn't care, I shouldn't care but baby
Please
Baby please
I know the guy, thanks to me they met at all
It's unclear, whether they're dating I'm not sure
It's just a picture, I can't erase it from my mind
I need to know, I need to know so tell me
How
Tell me how
Can I pay Google to spy on my ex-boyfriend?
I really need to know what he does this weekend
He's over me I know but that is no excuse
The way he's dealing with my feelings is obtuse
Alexa please now would you tell me all the facts?
When I ask you to listen in behind their backs
What good is Big Data if you can't help me stop
My sudden and crippling anxiety attack
I know the guy, thanks to me they met at all
It's unclear, whether they're dating I'm not sure
It's just a picture, I can't erase it from my mind
I need to know, I need to know so tell me
How
Tell me how
Can I pay Google to spy on my ex-boyfriend?
I really need to know what he does this weekend
He's over me I know but that is no excuse
The way he's dealing with my feelings is obtuse
Alexa please now would you tell me all the facts?

What good is Big Data if you can't help me stop

Fundamental Forces

Take a look at the stars they shine so bright
Dozens of light-years away from our eyes
Sometimes I wonder how life can feel so flat
When the universe's shaped like tesseract
Like a singularity in my space, time
Seems to pass much more slowly when you're not around
Around
I wish you could detect me when I say
Flying like a neutrino in your way
I say
I say
I say
You--
Are--
My--
Fundamental forces
I need you
To keep my
Universe from shattering
To pieces
Without this
Void is all that I am
I always wanted to see infinity
But the closest I can get is when you are with me
With me
I wish you could detect me when I say
Ringing like radio waves from life far away
I say
I say
I say
You--
Are--
My--
Thermodynamic laws
Constantly
Increasing
Disorder in my heart
In this way
I can say
Heat death seems like the perfect way
You--
Are--
My--
Fundamental forces
I need you
To keep my
Universe from shattering
To pieces
Without this
Void is all that I am

Retconned

You don't know, you don't care
If I'm breathing the air that you
Left in the space when you
Fucked off my place
With your hand holding hers
When it used to be mine
And, please, no, I don't mind
Everything now blurs
In my head
There's no need to remember
The scent, you're a candle
You burned in my life now
It stinks of our past in my
Lungs, and I'm breathing
Oh, I'm breathing
Like inside a pond
Of the things you retconned
In our lives
And I'm living
And I'm living
Alone
And I'm going
And I'm going
O-on
I don't know who I am
'cos I made up myself
As a function of you
And the things that you do
There's no happy ending
Though I keep up living
Someday I'll be happy but
That person won't be me
There's no way to remember
Your scent, I can't handle
The memories fading and
Now I stop breathing
I wish we could air again
A new show but, when I call
You don't respond
To the things you retconned
In our lives
And I'm living
And I'm living
And I'm living
Alone
And I'm going
And I'm going
And I'm going
O-on
(repeat twice)
You don't know, you don't care
Cos you're gone---it's not fair
That I'm here all alone
In this big empty home
In this place I adore with
These thoughts I abhor
In my mind but not yours
Cos you rewrote the course
Of our lives

Leech

You don't wanna be my friend
It won't be worth it in the end
I'll take what I can to
Fill this hole in my brain and you won't
Be the same
No I won't leave you unchanged
The ways of my mind are twisted
To make me feel like you deserve it
I should warn you as I break
Into your life, that I'm a fake
Trust me, I'll be who you want
Me to be, as long as you give
Me, what I need
I don't care if it's hard to breathe
You see I was born unhappy
And the only way I can be
Is to suck it away from people
Don't get attached, I'm lethal
You don't wanna be my friend
I'll take what I can and pretend 'cos
The ways of my mind are twisted
To make me think that I deserve it
Please consider this fact: I'm fucked up
Like a leech I'll stick to you and suck blood
The ways of my mind are twisted
To make me think that I deserve it
Please consider this fact: I'm fucked up
Like a leech I'll stick to you and suck blood

Play Zelda
03:49
|

wake up in the morning
and I go running
cos I wanna stay fit
but there's only one thing
on my mind and it's
this; please let me go
home as fast as I can
cos I can't wait
my job has become
slowly unbearable
since I discovered
that damned game
I'm waiting 'till five
the hour terminal
so I can go home
and proclaim:
all I wanna do is play Zelda
swim with the fish in domain Zora
coming up with a new type of dish
to recover my stamina
I wanna do is play Zelda
liten to music by the bird guy
there's nothing I'd rather do
than cook up a stew
and ride Epona
I wanna do is play
and I know what you'll say
I'm a little bit obsessed
but it's not what you think
I'm not mentally unstable
I just need to get to the
closest stable
and get me a horse
and ride to the west
my life has become
slowly unbearable
since I discovered
that damned game
I'm playing 'till 4
that's all I'm capable
cos I wake up at
seven again
and all I wanna do is play Zelda
fuck up my hands with RSI
fight a Lynel and get killed
and repeat until
the pain makes me cry
I wanna do is play Zelda
find all the shrines built by the Sheikah
I'm gonna turn every rock
find all the Koroks
and never help Zelda
I wanna do is play
and play Zelda
farm the Guardians across Akkala
I'm tired of being an adult
my life is too dull
please let me feel special
I wanna do is play Zelda
I'm tired of being an adult
my life is too dull
please let me feel special
