lyrics

One month so far and who knows more to go
Finally my cool is slipping from my control
Funny memes and pretty things have lost their power to entertain
Yeah the curve is indeed flattening— the waves of my brain

Watching the news now for just a little too long
Fell asleep again with the Google on
Following the numbers ain’t leading me to feeling good
No idea what part of me was thinking that it somehow would

I’m gonna get up, wanna get a get up, gotta get a get up

Monday has come and the boss is on the Zoom
Gotta watch them keywords with Alexa in the room
Between all these machines, I feel like some my screws are coming loose
And I’d take a good long look at things— but right now I just can’t see the use

Circles in the kitchen yeah I’m cleaning again
Wax on, wax off till I’m shedding layers of skin
Holding down the fort has got me floating slowly downwind
It’s a good thing this sense of humour is holding on— through thick and thin

I’m gonna get up, wanna get a get up, gotta get a get up

Now that lunch is finished, it’s one o’clock once more
Already dreading the long night that’s a-lyin’ here in store
There’s nearly nothing left in the world that I ain’t already seen or heard
I got a fishtank of energy with a reservoir of time to burn

Type this on the list of my famous last words
All inside and no blue sky makes Jack a dull bird
I’m looking round for a charge, under these last few stones
If nothing else I’d call this proof that we shouldn’t be left alone
