lyrics

It’s been a shitty year, but at least it’s over
No, wait, it’s only mid-July
I’ve been bailing out the water with teaspoons
But it never stopped rising, and it’s up to my eye

Through revilles and smelling salts, the nightmare never ends
We only see the world as through a fisheye lens
I’m glued to my phone
I’m fighting alone
We only see each other through a fisheye lens


You took a plate of sawdust and made it fragrant
But I wouldn’t want to eat it raw
No amount of the stuff will ever add up enough
To satisfy the gaping maw

Through revilles and smelling salts, the nightmare never ends
We only see the world as through a fisheye lens
I’m glued to my phone
I’m fighting alone
We only see each other through a fisheye lens

The more I read what this calamity’s about
The more the camera dollies in while it zooms out
The closer you come in the more the image warps
We’re all assembling the same exquisite corpse

It’s been a shitty year, but at least it’s over
No wait, it’s only late July
And there’s no guarantee that we’ll all suddenly be
Okay when 2021 rolls by


Through revilles and smelling salts, the nightmare never ends
We only see the world as through a fisheye lens
I’m glued to my phone
I’m fighting alone
We only see each other through a fisheye lens
We only see each other through a Vaselined fisheye lens
We hardly see each other
