Wristwatch
Ambushed by a metaphor
My watch fell off my wrist
Through a sewer grate and landed
in a stagnant pool of piss
It sent me reeling to the surface
I was gasping like a fish
I was grasping for a purpose
At the edge of the abyss
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Cosmic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
Broke up with my long term
There goes three years down the trap
Got a four-year education
Now I'm working at the Gap
Waste my days on applications
I am never getting back
Every second's like a wristwatch tick a-tickin
Falling through the cracks
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Comic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
It's like a simile
It's a metaphor
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Comic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
My watch fell off my wrist
Through a sewer grate and landed
in a stagnant pool of piss
It sent me reeling to the surface
I was gasping like a fish
I was grasping for a purpose
At the edge of the abyss
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Cosmic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
Broke up with my long term
There goes three years down the trap
Got a four-year education
Now I'm working at the Gap
Waste my days on applications
I am never getting back
Every second's like a wristwatch tick a-tickin
Falling through the cracks
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Comic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
It's like a simile
It's a metaphor
So much for subtlety
So fucking obvious
Third-grade analogy
I know I shouldn't read into into into it
But god it felt personal
I'll never recover
It's a Comic conspiracy screaming
Time in the gutter
