Brains

Brains are stupid
Yeah brains are dumb
I wish I could focus, for a second
But it's all just twiddling thumbs

And It'd all be so easy
If it could just stop for a second
Remove the hums and whirs and whispers
If I just think for a god damn minute

But it's all a haze that I can't break
It's all a fog that skews my vision
All the words I'd love to say
Just won't come out as I'd envisioned

Cuz brains are dumb

And it feels like the ocean
Is crashing down and into my lungs
Like the world is on my shoulders
Every time I get the words wrong

And all I want
Is one sweet moment of respite
A little teeny tiny taste
Of the feelings everyone else gets

But it's all a haze that I can't break
It's all a fog that skews my vision
All the words I'd love to say
Just won't come out as I'd envisioned

Cuz brains are dumb

Fuck the chemical imbalance
That turns my ballads into salads
Keeps the words on the tips of my fingers
From ever getting onto paper

Turns these long weeks into years
And my months into days
Tells me everyone I see
Wants to put me in a grave

Thinks conversation must be combat
Turns open air into static
And through it's gaping maw I swear
Pass all the men who like to vanish

The ones that stand at the edge of vision
And creep around in attics
And I know full goddamn well it's all in my head

But Brains are dumb
