lyrics

The world doesn't feel round
When we’re buried we just fall
Infinitely down
Then I wake up on a sphere again
To make the same bowl of oatmeal
Ensuring that I'm still sane
Post-traumatic stress meal
I’m ready for an average day

I long for artificial lighting
A quiet room without a clock
Symmetrical and mundane
But planet earth keeps dancing
Planet earth keeps dancing

When it's finally quiet
The highlight reel projects
Against my eyelids
I wake up as the credits end
I need some more oatmeal
Before the day begins
Post-traumatic stress meal
I’m ready for an average day

Pretend to feel mundane
But planet earth keeps dancing
Planet earth keeps dancing

Then I wake up tripping out the door
The contract in my hand unfurled
OooooOoooooooh
And when I hear those heavy horns
I hope my stomach doesn't curl
OooooOoooooooh
