Recorded live at the Woodshop on July 16th, 2023.
lyrics:
clock on the stand, power reset
blinking 12:07AM
and the rhythmic light’s a reminder of the minutes passed
thoughts on loud, shorting out
tap tap tap in between my brows
and the rhythmic touch is a comfort in the here and now
inside, cross-eyed
I take my medicine, go to bed
get lost in my head again, pressure set
I feel like a specimen, I fail the test
then I see my skeleton buzzing red
cars outside, revving by
tempting my disobedient mind
and the rhythmic sound’s a reminder that I can’t unwind
envy creeping
I take my medicine, go to bed
get lost in my head again, pressure set
I feel like a specimen, I fail the test
then I see my skeleton buzzing red
then they put in the pins, and I get the sense
that I’m insignificant, losing tread
in the settling sediment, I sink like lead
but my kick-back ligaments hit reset
so I pull out the pins and I push the dents
in my pillow and linens, scroll again
through the menthol messages left on read
then it’s 7am, I haven’t slept
take my medicine
lost in my head again
feel like a specimen
I can feel my skeleton
