lyrics

I was happily playing video games one night
When I was struck with sudden fear
I was brutally hit with all that I have to do
Adulthood’s ugly head did rear

How long can this go on?
How long until we just stop caring?

Swimming patterns against the tide
We’re feigning progress to fuel our pride
Too many choices I can’t decide
Swimming patterns against the tide

How long will all this nonsense last?
Until we all tune out again?
The longer that this thing drags out
The faster my attention fades

I want to stay inside
It’s way too cold outside
My food has been supplied
Let’s build a fort and hide in here
