lyrics

I can always find the human connection
that fits between myself and looming emptiness
It's so easy to avoid to explore
What's inside when I know what you're waiting for

It’s better to be busy than to be without cause
I think, then I’m dreaming about loneliness
I don't want to participate
But I can't justify my escape

I just want to log off and watch Meg Ryan
Open all the windows but stay in bed
Run off to the country and call a friend
Get lost in the city, never seen again

We're destructive for fun, pleasure is a gun
Crave domination until everything has faded away
Have you heard about deep adaptation
How we can't survive in this civilisation?

If I cut back on electricity
Just travelled locally, lived life sustainably
If I boycotted every company
Would that mean another world could be?

I just want to log off and watch Meg Ryan
Open all the windows but stay in bed
Run off to the country and call a friend
Get lost in the city, never seen again

20-year-old me wrote on my blog I'd gone vegan
I said I strived to be as perfect as I could
Spoken like a fascist, said Anonymous
I didn't think it was that ominous

I inherited my morals from a faith I've disposed of
I'm tryna find new guidelines in a liberal void
Everything is ugly, I can't handle the truth
And I'm still asking what would Jesus do

I just want to log off and watch Meg Ryan
Open all the windows but stay in bed
Run off to the country and call a friend
Get lost in the city, never seen again

(written in 2017)
