Why Bother?

Revel in the ordinary,
I wake up before dawn o put a load of laundry on
I want to get the stains out of all my white clothes
But I used all the bleach to refresh my reputation
So I sprint around the block
Cardio dissipates self-talk
Coffee turns to nausea, but I quickly have another
Anything to relinquish my composure
Why bother?
It's boring
I don't wanna bother
I didn't pay the heating bill
Instead I wrap my self in tinfoil and stand beside the stove
My cheeks are flushed with tepid guilt
I seek out a hose, soak my head and eat the dirt from a rose garden
Why make myself a meal?
I'll just pour a bowl of cereal
Watch female friendly porn
Chewing on my cornflakes makes me feel alone
Why bother?
Why bother?
I don't wanna bother
Clean white linen // new beginning

Chlorine

I considered going under in the tub, a sinking slumber
but melodrama freezes when the tap runs cold
So I washed my face with my roommate's soap
and I got into a clean bathrobe
I put my head under a pillow for a while
Swimming is the closest I can get to underground
Heavy water buffer against anything too loud
Swimming is the closest I can get
Swimming, swimming, swimming
I'm so glad the pool is free
I love the smell of chlorine
I have to carry hand cream in my bag
Winter's wet but my skin is dry
My lips crack as I say goodbye to the lifeguard
I bet she's bored watching people survive
Swimming is the closest I can get to underground
Heavy eyelid buffer against anything too profound
Swimming is the closest I can get
Swimming, swimming, swimming
I'm drowning in the mundane
Just so I can float
But when I reached the surface
The fresh air burned my throat
I'm floating in the mundane
Just so I can drown

Creatures of Comparison

Creatures of comparison are crying, they're crying
Identify a difference one more time
If no self exists in isolation,
Then who would I be if I am not around them?
Creatures of comparison are ill-defined
Shadow on a wall of high divide
I don't say hello to anybody I know
It renders all my empathy so superficial
I regret speaking badly of anyone I dared to judge
Oh, Creatures of comparison don't touch

Viewfinder

I get a kick out of checking the weather
If it's going to rain, make sure to wear leather
A coat made of pockets to hide all my pleasure
Smoke one more Belmont just for good measure
I read an article about how to be alone
It said, "stare at the wall when you're sitting on your throne"
An empty house always tends to creek and moan
But I can't go on without picking up my phone
I'm living like I'm in a viewfinder
Make sure that backdrop looks good behind her
How can these filters get any finer?
Maybe we're standing in the wrong line-up
Walk through the city with a rehearsed, soft pout
Drowned in self pity, I just want to rock out
Looking for ideas in a creative drought
Swimming through the faces of a beautiful crowd
I'm living like I'm in a viewfinder
Make sure that backdrop looks good behind her
How can these filters get any finer?
Maybe we're standing in the wrong line-up

Enamoured of relief
My fingers close around the missing key in my pocket
oh, what a sweet release
Left my wallet at the restaurant, I mourned the loss 'til my phone rang
It's worth losing things just to find them again
Like you lost me and I found you again
Oh, date me, date me, validate me
I've loved you for so long
I'm wilting under my best behaviour
Hot water over lemon balm
Saw you learn a new language
I stifled my denial
It only turned to anguish
"You can sleep on the couch tonight"
Giving space is only a courteous invite to ache
We create emptiness just to fill it again
Oh, date me, date me, validate me
I've loved you for so long
I'm wilting under my best behaviour
Hot water over lemon balm
Every novel deserves a rough draft
I wanna go where you're coming from
