about

This song is very conducive to meowing. (Try it: it's easy!)

lyrics

I spend all my time looking at maps
Of places I’ll never see and yet I hope to amass
Some sort of knowledge about what it is I can’t have.
I’ll spend a couple hours cooking a meal
And eat it all in one short minute and feel
Like nothing is ever worth the time.

We’ll plan our lives away for preparation’s sake
And nothing will ever be surprise.
The world will never disappoint you when you look
Ahead through someone else’s eyes.

I’ve mastered the art and achieved the feat
Of preparing a face to meet the faces I’ll meet
Such that I can’t indulge in low self-esteem.
I can’t maintain the strength to spend
My whole life just living for the weekend
It’s been 18 years and I’d like to be more than all right.

I’m neither poor nor rich nor allowed to be malcontent
Someone’s always worse off than me.
But what’s a kid to do when he can’t
Be sad or happy?

How do you measure up without a standard?
How do you reason when the universe is absurd?
How do you know that it’s more than conditioned feeling?
How do you justify talking to the ceiling?

Why didn’t anybody tell me
That by this time everyone else has chosen camps unconditionally?
And there’s no going back, because in this state
You’re either a bigot or a filthy apostate.
