Load up It's time to take pot shots At all the people who you might have been I'm staging an intervention You bring the tonic water I'll bring the gin Once you get it You won't regret it You learned your lesson, so try not to forget it It takes an effort to appear this copacetic Load up Our algorithms know you better than you know yourself I could give you a print-out But it would be bad for business And bad for your mental health Once you get it You won't regret it You learned your lesson, so try not to forget it It takes an effort to appear this copacetic Load up We're all curators In a musty old museum called life Inscribe your casket with your favorite sayings So you can read them if you're buried alive Once you get it You won't regret it You learned your lesson, so try not to forget it It takes an effort to appear this copacetic Load up

Nothing in my fridge looks good to eat Already strapped my shoes on my feet Heart palpitation freaking me out Yesterday I almost left the house Day in, day out Only thing I read Hate and violence On my Twitter feed I'm too scared to go out in the street This old house has everything I need Bored of the reruns on the TV Probably need some vitamin D Panic attack brings crippling self-doubt Yesterday I almost left the house Day in, day out Only thing I read Hate and violence On my Twitter feed I'm too scared to go out in the street This old house has everything I need I searched for agoraphobia on Wikipedia Yesterday I almost left the house

The snakes abhorred their limbless forms Which couldn't climb the Rockies They said, "We must find arms and legs" On serpent walkie-talkies I'm taking my bows and I'm catching the roses Cutting my palms, but I don't even notice I think that I might take a trip to Boone Hit me up if things work out so soon I've only been waiting here since June The snakes walked off on borrowed legs And headed up to Denver Then something marvelous occurred But I simply can't remember I'm taking my bows and I'm catching the roses Cutting my palms, but I don't even notice I think that I might take a trip to Boone Hit me up if things work out so soon I've only been waiting here since June Someone's praying for you to a God you don't believe in I think that I might take a trip to Boone Hit me up if things work out so soon I've only been waiting here since June
