lyrics

Sobrieties good but so’s being high
Society is fine with the passage of time

I try slow it down so I can unwind
Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it

Perspective’s impossible from this position
I don’t care either way don’t make it my decision
I’m not the one with the plan I’m the one with the vision
Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it

God is dead and reality is fake
It’s a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
And there is no luck and there is no fate
And nobody cares about you or your pain
But that becomes freedom if you look at it that way

I’ve always been more distressing than cool
I’m a blood nose on the first day of school
My own quiet life at the bottom of the pool
Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it

Come along way from a neck in a noose
Look me in the eye and call that an excuse
Wasn’t sure what to make tight or keep loose
Was never a Boy Scout so I fell straight through it

I wanna be the boy at the bar mitzvah the child at the christening
The corpse at the funeral the bride at the wedding
And none of this matters but we shouldn’t just stop
Not with all this perpetual motion we’ve got
Or we had who knows not like I’m going to shows
I’m pissing in the wind I don’t know which way it blows
Coming straight outta Box Hill
Like a bat out of hell
If you’re not gonna forget me remember me well
