Built up a life full of odds and ends
The sounds churned out at breakneck speed
It’s a modest life and I like it fine
Yet modesty is not what you need
A line forms for the brand new breakout
Much like ten years before
The glimmer fades, sarcasm lingers
In a pool on the kitchen floor
I don’t take the drugs you want me to take
As I curl up in my own bed
I think it would only be a mistake
If I bailed on this to make Red
My bangs used to be so crooked
The arthouse foolery made you wince
In 2015 I leaned into baldness
Haven’t paid for a haircut since
It’s not the art of attraction
Keeps you lapping up all your nerves
But we both know that you could do better
Every time your attention swerves
You’re not sure about this place
All the patrons flash their golden grins
I just plug in to make ends meet, yeah
And you get to watch so everyone wins
You see her laughing on the TV
Her arm around him at a sporting event
You point and you say that could’ve been me
But I’m not sure which one you meant
