lyrics

When you speak I am a shoelace
and when you cry, I cry
I’m sitting sideways on the subway
with my shoes untied
You’re fielding all the leading questions
with a glimmer in your eye
You said your piece to all the doctors,
you think they know it’s a lie

I am someone different
than you think I am;
I’ve seen 100 degrees,
we’re talking Celsius
I am not subscribing
to this awful plan
where you are taken from me
by the environment

Are you stuck in a rut
Or are you stuck in the tub?
Am I making the cut
Or am I messing it up?

When you speak I am a shoelace
and when you move, I'll move
I’m sitting backwards in the bathtub
and I’m not leaving soon
You’re interviewing in the bunker
and enjoying the view
My boots are turning into puddles
and the leaves are blue

I am someone different
than you think I am;
I’ve seen 100 degrees,
we’re talking Celsius
I am not subscribing
to this awful plan
where you are taken from me
by the environment

Are you stuck in a rut
Or are you stuck in the tub?
Am I making the cut
Or am I messing it up?

Head full of caffeine
and trashy memes
Postmodern pastiche
right under our feet

Are you stuck in a rut
Or are you stuck in the tub?
Am I making the cut
Or am I messing it up?
