Aspartame (Acoustic)

I think I'll have a water but make it synthetic
And if the earth keeps on gettin hotter it'll burn up all the skeptics
Till all that's left is the bounced cheque of a planet wide stress test
While I try and get my Xbox to connect back to the internet
Crabmeat maki rolls ordered delivery
Lab eats shoddy tuna dyed till it looks crabby
Drown it in some soy sauce and a pound and a half of wasabi
Wash it down in diet soda to solidify my arteries - it's sweet
It's taste like sugar and deceit
I know my body has been keeping receipts of each transaction as they happen
Passing through my liver quicker then Quiksilver panicked on public transit
But calorie counting never found me any peace
But I do it everyday my therapist says it's a disease
While my doctor cheers me on - says I got too much on this frame
I guess it's just another day

Drinking my aspartame
And it's not real but it taste just the same
Yeah
Drinking my aspartame
It's not real but it tastes just the same
Yeah

Microwave staples chicken wings and pizza bagels
The angels were never fabled to eat divinity at their table
But if it's good enough for Tony it's good enough for me
Share some in the skatepark with a middle aged Hawk on the concrete
Enjoy the simulation till the hard drive rusts
Artificial ego call that Elon Musk
A fabrication of the station he doesn't like to discuss
The trust fund that helped finance his fucking self made start up
How many home runs did people hit from third base?
Are you fuckin lying on purpose or is it honest mistakes
Please take a second to know the story you've have written is fiction
Quite your bitchin vicitmizing addiction is not a depiction
You should sell to the people - a branding contradiction
A public crucifixion is warranted given the right conditions
Misinformation tryin' to drown my brain I guess it's just another day

Drinking my aspartame
And it's not real but it taste just the same
Yeah
Drinking my aspartame
It's not real but it tastes just the same
Yeah
