A Gentle Reminder

This song goes out to no one
to no one in particular
after a few brief deliberations
we've rested on a conclusion:
you should be excluded
we don't want you here
you don't get a reason
we'll just leave it there
it's something personal
more than enough to indict you
it's got to be your worst idea yet
that you, thought it wise, to question anything
this ain't discussed here
encrypt what you'd think
assume the outcome
that this gets out anyway
is this not what's asked of me
to dole out patience where it's due?
your best best's to cough it up
leave just enough to still be of use
what does it take to be your equal?
and once I'm there, oh and once I'm there
no easy task the up-keep
a hard reset
seems like the move
'cause I mean business
oh the indescribable thrill
the indescribable thrill
of finding out who I've always been

This whole process is just divine
labor of love from sullen minds
it's a black hole that opens in the evening
Falling down and staying there bears quite the stark resemblance to examples we have led since the beginning
Appealing to a broader crowd seems like it'd be the safest bet
seems like it'd be the path of
the path of least resistance
Only thing that matters now: maintain this starry gaze
may it fixate every bodily faculty
I shouldn't have to script this out
sure seemed like a bright idea
but now something
now something seems forced
something less than intended
was it a lack of interest
couldn't tell the difference
couldn't tell
Perfect strangers to the reputation that proceeds us now
(but it's not that bad, no it's not that bad)
As I'm scripting this thing out, idle hands write "not so fast"
(no it's not that bad, no it's not that bad)
You're gonna lose a sense of, a sense of quality
could this be from a newfound, a newfound lack of meaning
could never be from a sudden, a sudden dip in interest
You're gonna lose a sense of, you're gonna lose a sense of, you're gonna lose a sense of....
You guys have everything going for you
there is nothing unappealing that I've picked up on
there just might not be enough to cling ot
may want to think a bit broader this next time around

Swift

I was born at the end
of the benefit of a head start
all motivation starts and ends
grows and deflates in this place
every path paved with expectation (celestially earmarked to ruin it)
an everyone else framework
and I was barely conscious of my
of my own place in this world
and all internal interpretations
you'll get the hint in due time
you wouldn't want this all to ring true
less impressed and searching for something more convincing
loyalty to what you've chosen to define you
and the message has found you well
guided through but you've missed it
the most obvious reveal
the end of everything and it's clear
but we're over it
interpretations of the between
now and day fourteen
of an eternal plunge
white lies, the most they'll ever go down as
and it's all my fault
but you were there alongside me
you practically cheered me on
the new stock phrases to acquit ourselves
feel free to take inspiration

The Overhaul
04:25

We've made the case for
course correction
not worth the effort's what we have found
considered useless
dozens now
what we're told is what we're allowed
Ill-advised the overhaul
the suggestion's lost on me
what would happen if I feigned
the intention to make this with you in mind
lay it down
surrender now
keep your head out of the clouds
what you're told
is what you're allowed
put you're feet back on the ground
chorus
A joke I can't let go, but I don't even laugh
and I know you'll be the first, the first to point this out
the attention to detail you've upkept, it won't help
it won't be worth the effort, but I have not the heart to stop you nor the gall to walk away
though I know what you're thinking we're still miles away
I know what you'd like
though I know what you're thinking we're still miles away
The suggestion to attempt the overhaul, the code-switch
not only is it not lost on me, I proposed this
not worth the effort's what we've found
