Serious Toast

from demos! by Cake "Alchemy!"

/

lyrics

A mythic instant of condensation:
Jettisoning cereal for serious toast!
Got to apply myself to appreciation
But gratitude seems to grate the most
And I…I would be weeping but there is too much to do
Yes I…I should be screaming but I’ve been over-consumed
I kiss my feet to the earth in a constant drag
Threadbare stockings hypnotized on plaid
Where words are written bruises I cash out for amusement
I’m cased in encasements of my own improvements
I wonder what it is that really keeps me behind
Silicone, syllables—well, it’s all sylla-fine
Everyday objects I place in my pocket
Purchasing stuff even but I don’t even want it
I unbolt cadenzas toward an ornamental passage
Caught in the system of all my bad habits
I wonder what my actions hurt and hinder
When I am blazing in rage and yet helplessly tender…
I know it’s a process of learning how to be
But I hardly have patience for my misery
I don’t meet their requirements
And now nothing is inspiring!
I am impatience with coffee stains and owning too much
My spine is in constant pain but I always keep in touch
It’s the modern me
In the modern field
Without divinity
Without taking pills
I am still unpaid
Hopelessly in debt
But maybe someday
I’ll be able to laugh
