lyrics

So I finally shaved my head
My fro no longer held my hair, or lack there-
Pseudo self-aware
that I could lose it all right there
I tried to cover the contents of this conversation
with a non sequitur
some dull comment upon the weather
while Tiffany texting, feigned listening and nodded her head
I could have said anything right there
like how the cancer's taken a turn for the worse
or I've decided to tuck it back and wear a purse
I swear each interaction these days makes me question my own sense of worth

But I came to see
through the help of technology...

all my words had no meaning
all my thoughts had no feeling
all my breath had no breathing
Are you hearing what I'm hearing? NOTHING

Maybe I'll feel better in the morn
I guess we'll see
Maybe all this progress isn't all it's cracked up to be?
Or I'll just disappear without a trace
a note sighing "mon chéri, with kisses"
signed me
sincerely

Yeah, I came to see
through advancements in technology...

all my words had no meaning
all my touch had no feeling
all my sight had no seeing
Are you dealing how I'm dealing? NOTHING

All my worries had no weeping
All my fucks had no panting or heaving
No, my cuts had no bleeding
All these 21st Century First World problems
showed no remedy to help my healing
