lyrics

I’m sitting in the living room
The numbers filter past on my screen
The world is blowing up on the news
But I don’t even take it seriously

I guess I’ll sit and watch the TV
Waiting for the world to collapse
It’ll really be exhausting for me
And I’ll probably end up taking a nap

Doctor told me
To turn my head and cough
What was the point?
Feels just like the death of the moth

People outside starting to scream
The sky’s getting increasingly gray
It puts into perspective for me
All the stupid things we did everyday

We waited at the DMV
We killed our brains by living online
We worked for forty hours a week
And most of us just barely survived

Culture warned me
To play my insecurities off
What was the point?
Feels just like the death of the moth

// All the things you did were just a waste of your time
Working through the pain for all the years of your life
Could have spent your energy walking your dog,
or helping your mom,
or writing a song //

Sha-la-la, the death of the moth
