Checklists & Communists
Running time today
Springboards from open minds, I'll play
As I start fillin' 'em up with far more clarity
I fought outside myself
Continuing to stock up our shared bookshelf
And I've been waiting for this moment
But I don't really know it
What it is or where it comes or how I'll have to show it
Manic energy drawing out the friendly alarms
Still none of them mean that I'm actually wrong
So now I'm running out, no more pressing up against time
Running out, never feeling more fine
Checklists and communists
Oh feel it out and feel it loud
Ride out our tectonic shifts
Binging Grey's Anatomy for the first time
Thinking something's gotta be wrong with me inside
Oh haven't been to a doctor in so long
Still so freaked out by the thought of drawing blood
But it's such a way to reconcile and couple
The dual grandness of the macro and the micro
Thoughts of macro revolution all through the day
Then nights of micro human suffering streamed through our TV
Thinking of my old friends, some with kids and families
These real feelings, not just infinite checkerboard quandaries
And it all amounts to nothing
It all amounts to going nowhere
Paralyzed behind these screens
Where discourse never seems to leave
It all amounts to nothing
But can still feel so fucking good
Springboards from open minds, I'll play
As I start fillin' 'em up with far more clarity
I fought outside myself
Continuing to stock up our shared bookshelf
And I've been waiting for this moment
But I don't really know it
What it is or where it comes or how I'll have to show it
Manic energy drawing out the friendly alarms
Still none of them mean that I'm actually wrong
So now I'm running out, no more pressing up against time
Running out, never feeling more fine
Checklists and communists
Oh feel it out and feel it loud
Ride out our tectonic shifts
Binging Grey's Anatomy for the first time
Thinking something's gotta be wrong with me inside
Oh haven't been to a doctor in so long
Still so freaked out by the thought of drawing blood
But it's such a way to reconcile and couple
The dual grandness of the macro and the micro
Thoughts of macro revolution all through the day
Then nights of micro human suffering streamed through our TV
Thinking of my old friends, some with kids and families
These real feelings, not just infinite checkerboard quandaries
And it all amounts to nothing
It all amounts to going nowhere
Paralyzed behind these screens
Where discourse never seems to leave
It all amounts to nothing
But can still feel so fucking good
