Andrew's Nervous Tick

I walked to the store in blue light
trampling burial grounds
and when my hours get cut
I'll move to the outskirts of town
and if I get a new job
or if I somehow get saved
I'll get a room next to the park
back where I was raised
Eight-hundred dollars
Nine-hundred dollars
A thousand dollars
I guess I can't stay just yet
Not yet
I went to an old friend's house
they had snacks and their washer worked
their bank mailed them a Christmas card
it was a twenty-minute drive back home
but felt like a thousand miles
'cause the trees all changed
and the weather changed
and oh

There's something mumbling
above my ear
references to every shadow
A timeless process I can't keep quiet
and I can't make it out, can't make it out
The way is the dust of the way
Oh, and it just keeps going on
I forget what I was gonna say
Looking back
back and forth
darting off
back and forth
darting off
looking back
[crowd work]
This hundred million pounds feels like
a thousand pounds when I try to pick it up
There is an excess I can't possibly feel
Oh
Microscopic gestures
aimed at relieving suffering
begets more suffering
paradox of desire
But to let suffering pierce into your senses
just to get better at sitting in desire
makes you wonder if there's any point in movement

This is a song about women who are afraid of other women
It's a song about the men who tuned in yesterday
but have too much to say
This is a song about the little supremacist
that's festered in the minds of reactionaries for all time
Oh, oh, oh
chemistry set
measuring skulls
gender-reveal party
A precious life
for man and wife
if you get scared
call the cops
Honey, me and your father spent our life savings
on your gender-reveal party
so as long as you're under my roof
you don't have a say in this matter
Power derived
from a delicate transactional design
compulsive debate
'cause the alpha king is entitled to a mate
You're required to make a case
for your dreams
every desire
your deepest fears
your body's shape
how you've changed
or want to change
Organizing center
with arms that reach out from your limits
to shake hands with the structures
that keep your shape
