lyrics

I EAT ACCEPTANCE

I hung for so long in one spot
In the parking lot
I pretended to be a car
My silence was an engine idling
If you popped my trunk you’d find the hacked-up body-parts

I might’ve struck
You as a guy
With a dark side
With something to hide
But in truth
I was just a dude
With nothing to do
Bored out of my mind

So you could say that boredom made me into a sociopath
It’d be mostly a fact
Most facts we hold as facts are only mostly that
And ex post facto
Though mostly ain’t exact, you know
I got no choice but to be kosher with that, so

I eat acceptance like the meal i didn’t ask for on the plane
My burning rage at a sacrilege
Reduced by hunger to a mild disdain
