lyrics

Come unspun
You tried to kiss a ceiling fan.
It took the chance to grab your tongue
Lost for words.
Phone rang out
All you heard was a grumbly growl,
A menacing and guttural sound,
Then nothing at all.

Whatever came up with
This “wicked smart” blueprint
Must be rubbing their hands together.
I didn't sign up for this.
Barely keeping up appearances.

Don't look now
But everywhere's a wall of sound
And all the favourite frequencies
Aren't coming through.
Indisposed
Or a little invisible.
You're not sure that you want to be
Talking now.

Is this all a bit much?

Every soliloquy rehearsed internally
Is the sibling of something dormant.
A bit swing then a miss,
I'll probably dwell on this,
Can't help but feel like it's a given.

Keeping up appearances
Is easier once you get used to
All the solipsism around and inside of you.

Oh, it's fine – just forget about it.
I swear I'm grand, Don't worry.
Never better!
