Still got mopey after getting what I wanted
Cried like a toddler when I didn’t get as much as I felt like I needed
As much as I deserved for waiting so impatiently
And sitting in the dirt
And there’s a thick layer of shame encasing every bad feeling
I’m an emotional being thanks to a weird upbringing
I promise I won’t whine if I can stay another night
I’ve been preaching good karma but get all kinds of signs
And I am like that, but I don’t like that
I curl up on your chest and pretend to be a cat

Staying Inside
01:32

Thiefheart, baby, can I coax you into my bedroom?
You’re a softness I can’t get from zoom
I haven’t touched another person in 8 days
Besides the dry hand I grazed with my fingertips
Dropping off groceries
Exciting but risky (I love you but it’s risky)
It’s a good time for astral projection
Long-distance dream visits
A twenty minute walk and a wave through the window
A phone call, 3, 2, 1 and go
Are you watching what I’m watching?
Will you call me in the morning?

Discreet Dancing
01:44

I’m too socially anxious
Too agoraphobic to get out
But I can get down
In my room
My movements are as smooth as my speech, yeah
It’s a state of mind
So I shut the blinds
And I move like an amateur fencer when I hoover the hair
Up from the floor
We don’t need much space, we stay indoors
Do you miss the heat and the noise and the crowds and the feet on the floor?
Nor do I, this is alright
I’ve got the code to get in to Club Q tonight
And you can dance with your dog or your pillow
You can dance through the cam with your SO
You can dance for the mirror or window
You can leave at 11 just don’t actually leave

The power of Thiefheart is sacred
I'm graced by her presence
She keeps me grounded and grateful
I'd rent a car, drive you home, if I could
Soon this will pass
But for now it feels endless, unreal, and uncertain
I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

I've got that 6:30am shift and I'm TIRED, tired, I'm tired!
An indeterminate amount of time flows past
Slow or fast, slow or fast, slow or fast
Jan asks how my weekend was: it was the best!
The minute arrives when I can hit that button
Hit that button, clock out, peace out!
I walk home, I walk into my home, I say MEOW to my cat
I lay down for a nap
Two hours later I wake up and it's dark
The sun is down and somehow all my friends are in town
And I have the social energy to see them all!
My sis and I chill at the mall before the show
And I know almost everybody there
And I hug almost everybody there
Oooh it feels so good to see everybody dancing
Oooh it feels so good to see everybody here

Fog Lane

I'm loneliest in the middle of the afternoon
When the sun seeps through the slats of my new room
And I'm reminded that I don't know when I'll see any of you again
I go birdwatching alone but still talk to you
As I document the growing the geese and coots
The two girls in the park reassured me that getting shit on by a bird is lucky

Licked A Stamp
01:15
|

I can point at my money plant and laugh and make it laugh with me
I can bend my knees and fold my body and see through the glamour
I can feel what you're feeling in your stomach
I can feel my skin settle like dough
And there's nothing I'd like more than to hop into a taxi and hand-deliver katsudon to you and your beloved family
I licked a stamp with my sticky noodle pangolin tongue, stuffed the letter into the capsule on Thiefheart's collar
Waving, I know where to find you

Same View Every Day
01:03

Crossing that bridge when I get to it
Isn't working for me now
I need plans to hold me together
I could just jump out the window
Hit the ground and be back where I belong
This home ain't home if I gotta be alone
This temporal passing's got no structure
And I'm feeding off hope for the future
I'm living for it
It's not the same view every day
It's a day that doesn't stop
It goes on and on and on and on and on
