Shuffle

(album: Mysteries For Rats - 2023)

So shuffle
Just struggle
I don't want any trouble
Or maybe I do
Do the regular shuffle
The mundane struggle
I don't want any trouble
Honey do you?

So like
Would you do it if no one was there?
It's like
Would you do it if nobody cared?
I sure hope so
I sure hope so love
'Cuz honestly nobody does
It's like
Feel bad but you won't die
It's like
Stay mad but stay alive
And it
Might suck but you'll survive
Fuck it
We're going outside

I'll be your almanac of bad decisions
Cut me open make incisions
Paste the lines you like on the underside of a cereal box
Gaslight gatekeep girl interrupted
And if you can't beat it then at least you can fuck it
I take my stupid medicines until I fucking stop

So shuffle
Just struggle
I don't want any trouble
Or maybe I do
Do the regular shuffle
The mundane struggle
I don't want any trouble
Honey do you?

Coming around the later stages of grief
For a version of the world that you wanted to keep
A version where you're just as dumb as the rest
Well now it's time to clean up the mess
No more glamor no more gore
No more high school suicide lore
I'm twenty-one
I'm forty five
Fuck it
We're staying alive

I have a soft small body
Strawberries make it happy
Someday I'll leave the country
I hope to have you with me
