lyrics

My best guess is worthless
But I thought maybe, this was
something worth saving.
Sorry. I don't know why I do anything, anymore.

I'm just stuck looking
for a reason that lies
forever out of grasp,
but within sight.

Dopamine seeking missile
It's just a matter of good enough.
Spend a lifetime waiting for nothing-
our joy is a conditioned response.

You will always be too late.

I end my fast with stale bread and vinegar.
My body unnourished, my spirit unpurified.
Windows flicker as a TV sings
a dream of life and light and color
into and empty room.
But none of that matters now.
Everything important was already lost in translation.
