The War On Memes

It's nothing personal,
I just don't like you
It's nothing shallow,
But I hate your face
You're stupid and irrational,
Every bit disposable
So fucking irresponsible,
A goddamn deplorable
Ain't it a bummer?
The memes are making us dumber
Swaying elections,
Like a viral infection
Let's see if orange blood bleeds red,
Kaki pants, red hats, are the new Nazi flag
We're living some bad science fiction,
Thoughts and prayers have become legislation
Ain't it a bummer?
The memes are making us dumber
Swaying elections,
Like a viral infection
Cultural appropriation is used as a tool of oppression,
Excusing them for their transgressions
Empowered by.....
A president who tweets while Houston drowns,
A president who tweets while California burns
A president who tweets while Florida drowns,
A president who tweets while Vegas bleeds
We preach to the choir,
Or shut the fuck up
Preach to the choir,
Or shut the fuck up
Preach to the choir,
Or shut the fuck up
Preach to the choir,
OR SHUT THE FUCK UP
Ain't it a bummer?
The memes are making us dumber
Swaying elections,
Like a viral infection
Ain't it a bummer?
The memes are making us dumber

Unconfident In Shorts

My tee shirts never looked as good on me as they looked on you,
The world never seemed that great to me then I saw you
I was challenged by your personality,
I was weightless in your gravity
We were floating through space and time
I found love then I lost it,
It was good, it was great until it wasn't
I thought I was a hopeless romantic,
Turns out my feelings were problematic
Keeping busy to keep from feeling,
Keep on drinking to keep from thinking
There's not enough substances to abuse,
To keep me from thinking of you
I found love then I lost it,
It was good, it was great until it wasn't
I thought I was a hopeless romantic,
Turns out my feelings were problematic
Maybe we should've kept this platonic

I've been terminally homesick,
And I've been morbidly unhappy
This cost of living is killing me
Outside, I keep to myself,
When I speak I'm afraid of what comes out
So I won't say a single word,
I won't leave the house
Or more accurately, my studio apartment,
Or more accurately, my slumlord's shit box
I've been terminally homesick,
And I've been morbidly unhappy
This cost of living is killing me
Divided, I am falling apart,
Maybe I should have stayed from the start
Maybe it's time to let go and give up on my dreams,
Maybe it's time to let go and give up on me
It's time to let go and give up on my dreams,
It's time to let go and give up on me
Maybe this isn't the place for me

Moral Compass
02:32

Remember that time you slept in my bed?
Down the hall from your shitty boyfriend
We didn't fuck but I felt your heartbeat,
Your body next to mine that's intimacy
How do I end up in these situations?
When did I become such an awful person?
I don't know where my moral compass went,
I don't know when I started this descent
Remember that time we sat in the chair?
In the attic no one else was there
In the dark barely touching,
We bonded so intimately
How do I end up in these situations?
When did I become such an awful person?
I don't know where my moral compass went,
I don't know when I started this descent
With fireworks going off in the distance,
All I could hear was your heartbeat

Warning Sign

I'm not suicidal,
But sometimes I wouldn't mind not being alive
I'm not suicidal,
But I don't like the person I am sometimes
I'm not suicidal,
But I haven't felt love in long, long time
I'm not an alcoholic,
But sometimes I drink until I'm numb inside
I'm not an addict,
But I can't stop doing these things that harm my life
I'm not suicidal,
So please don't take this as a warning sign

She asked if I could be a rebound,
So I invited her over that night
She was drunk by the time she arrived,
I was half asleep in my sweatpants
We laughed about our sadness,
We made light of our past traumas
Made light of our depression,
Made light of our situations
We're headed in different directions,
But ended up in the same bed
Both bleeding from different wounds,
Caused by different people
We share our pain,
We share our self-blame
She says she's thinking about quitting teaching,
And I'm on the fence about my career
She wants to go back north,
And I'm thinking of heading back east
We agree that it'd be easy,
And easy would be nice
We worry we'd be settling,
Giving up in our prime
We're both headed in different directions,
We're headed in different directions,
But ended up in the same bed
Both bleeding from different wounds,
Caused by different people
We share our pain,
We share our self-blame

Luxury Mattress
03:31

Moved across the country,
Sold everything I own
Saved up all my money,
Left behind everything I've known
All to live alone
Bought a luxury mattress,
As a form of commitment
A luxury mattress,
To tie me down
A luxury mattress,
So I won't move out
Traded in these northeast winters,
For the California sun
Every day feels the same now,
Otherwise nothing's changed now
I never thought I'd miss New Jersey,
But I even miss the smell
I never thought I'd miss the rain,
But do I miss it now
Oh, I miss it now
Bought a luxury mattress,
As a form of commitment
A luxury mattress,
To tie me down
A luxury mattress,
So I won't move out
Moved across the country,
Sold everything I own
Saved up all my money
Left behind everything I've known
All to live alone
When home becomes just a place you visit,
Tell me, what really is it?

Is the career opportunity,
Worth leaving your friends and family?
And when I see you in my dreams,
Will you be thinking of me?
Or am I to be forgotten?
Or a distant memory?
You might not be thinking of me,
But I'll still see you in my dreams
You might not be thinking of me,
But I'll still see you in my dreams
