Athlete On Bench

(album: Hygiene - 2022)

Atomized by being lumped in
Local anesthetic for your facelifts
Umbrella effect and cloudy affect
Bring in managers to help you manage

Up late, laptop burning your thighs
Searching women you stayed with
For a week when you were nineteen
Wistful at a such young age
Future's not looking bright
It's odd the things that you survive
They stack and stack until you're forced to recognize

The endless stress that you feel is masturbation
Most times what you catch is just more cages
And that villain you fought he just reflects who you are

Angry ghost or quiet spirit
Starved since leaving mom's tit
I'm living between shrinking margins
I'm picking through dumpsters in the alley

The endless stress that you feel is masturbation
Most times what you catch is just more cages
And that villain you fought he just reflects who you are

Verse, pre-chorus, chorus, and bridge
Writhing within a narrowing niche
Bridge, chorus, coda, and end
I'm living between shrinking margins

I'm living between shrinking margins
Just a year review line item
A forgotten bit of accounting
An overdraft I'm forced to balance

I'm living between shrinking margins
I'm living between shrinking margins
