Jimmy Neutron Had A Dog, So Why Can't I Have A Friend?

(album: Honest & Cunning - 2015)

The bill can't be too much
The truth is that I can't spend enough
Fix my social distrust with something
Pumping gas instead of blood
Hours are nothing to automaton-something
Agree with me, please, don't act like I'm shunning
Connections and friends for simple synapses
Love doesn't work, and you're proof of that happening

Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement

It's beginning to talk and it said
That I didn't try enough
That I should just give up
Then it left with most my stuff
Blueprints all said
"Fail first, try again"
Just like you said
"The first time you'll fuck up, but always you'll try again"

Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement

If this is what you call human, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, well, this is what I call desperate
If this is what you call human, well, this is what I call desperate
Well, this is what I call desperate

You gave me all these blistered fingers
Over metal shards and oiled fixtures
Fuck you and fuck me even harder
Tell me why'd I even bother
You gave me all these blistered fingers
Over metal shards and oiled fixtures
Fuck you and fuck me even harder
Tell me why'd I even bother

Fuck!

Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
(I wish I was stable again)
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
Now that we're unable to pretend we are stable, I am
(I wish I was stable again)
Building my better friends from the scraps that I find in my basement
