lyrics

Everyone's dying lately.
Must be some new trend
I'll prob'ly pick up on when it's all out of fashion.
Spent a weekend in Canada,
learned a little French,
but don't ask me to speak it;
I'm still too embarrassed.
Sorry this is taking so long...
I guess I fell out of touch
falling into TV and daydreams and job search and home life.

Despite my latest shortcomings
I could never not be existential,
and I know that's a double negative
but I won't cross it out -
I chose pen over pencil
because I like when things are permanent.
They seem to have a glow.
It's the uncertainty that wraps me up in a chokehold.

But I'm getting better.
Must be some new kick.
It's all cuz of 'Daybreak'; I absorb the positive.
Haven't lost my temper in awhile.
I learned to breathe out and in.
Swelling emotions mean I'm only human.
