lyrics

a crowd has gathered on the banks of the snowy charles river
to watch me scramble in the waves, my limbs duress below the surf
i wake up shaking in a sweat, my pulse explodes and i reverse
i stumble to the laundromat in the cold january morning

the coffee always tastes like piss, at least that's how you would describe it
a tone of voice i'll hardly miss, but can't help hearing in idle moments
my sweatpants curl in rhythmic time, a whirlpool song collecting value
another quarter and a dime, the sidewalk screeching in the morning

i told myself that i wouldn't sit here all day
i told myself that i'd try to be powerful
i guess i'll give myself some credit for trying
