Simulate our needs for the runtime
but always leave something out
Too slow to find new features and fixes
the past is keeping us down
I think we need a code review
We’re lost inside this reference loop
Experience reveals all the old bugs
but there’s no time go back
to reassess a sequence for success
Can we just throw it all out?
It’s overwhelming
my mind is failing
I think we need a code review
We’re lost inside this reference loop
Now it’s too late
It’s much too late

I don’t know why I’ve always been this way
I’ll bite my nails ‘till the end of days
And when I bleed, you’ll be so unimpressed
Let’s stay inside today and pretend we’re ok
Just watch these clouds hanging over our heads
Let’s not go out tonight and pretend we’re alright
Just watch tv ‘till we go back to bed
These shadow dreams recurring every day
Where my teeth start crumbling from the decay
And when I smile, you are so unimpressed
Let’s stay inside today and pretend we’re ok
Just watch these clouds hanging over our heads
Let’s not go out tonight and pretend we’re alright
Just watch tv ‘till we go back to bed
Moving on
I’m moving on?

Overwhelmed, you’re staring at the ceiling
A contest—a confrontation you always lose
and your eyes look tired of waiting
It’s like waking up from a vivid nightmare
with details decomposing way too soon
and all that is left is a feeling
ba ba ba ba ba ba
Every time you try to say the right thing
it’s a frozen, frantic fight to find the words
and their eyes look tired of waiting
ba ba ba ba ba ba

Migraines and meds for bed tonight
Feigned friendships act as sheep disguised
Just count the claims of ten empty eyes
and their secrets safe in contracts signed
Fight for flight
to say goodnight
Anything till this is over
If this is reality
can we just live in our dreams?
We’ll forget this whole mess cuz
we’ll have all we need

Hunger for a Way Out

This album feels eternal, simultaneously feeling like it belongs anywhere and everywhere between the late '70s and today, effortlessly jumping between Devo-esque new wave and '90s indie rock with perfect results. Every single track whips ass. 10/10 AOTY.
