The Boredom Is The Reason I Started Swimming. It's Also The Reason I Started Sinking

(album: The Front Bottoms - 2011)

Foreign countries
Hardwood floors and trying to sleep
Foreign Languages
On all three channels of TV

I don't want no drama or baggage
Don't tell me complicated stories
About who you used to be but are different
And have changed as a person completely

And I am not sure that I want
Any single part of this
Any single part of any of this shit

'Cause everybody pays
Everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of a program
Get with the program

'Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake, pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping
You're prob'ly even listening

Keep it simple and honest
Stop crying, you're an adult
I could stand up, I could man up
It's just so convenient to be fragile
This pain is constant and sharp
Watching the signals that you send
I wanna feel lethal on the inside
I wanna read American Psycho again

But I am not sure that I want
Any single part of this
Any single part of any of this shit

'Cause everybody pays
Yeah, everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of a program
Get with the program

'Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake, pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping
You're prob'ly even listening
You're not even sleeping
You're prob'ly even listening, even listening

'Cause everybody pays
Yeah, everybody's head is in the noose
You're part of a program
Get with the program

'Cause everybody comes and falls asleep
Lies awake, pretends to be sleeping
You're not even sleeping
You're prob'ly even listening
You're not even sleeping
You're prob'ly even listening, even listening to me
