[Verse 1]
It seems that when I’m busy
I always find myself trying to stop
And it seems that when there’s nothing
Nothing else is left in the sweatshop
I wonder, what’s the purpose of my beating heart
While I check my phone
Is there really nothing to it?
I could progress from the comfort of my home?
[Verse 2]
It seems that when I’m online
All the world is telling me to knock it off
But, it seems that when I’m outside
Everyone is judging every single cough
“Can I be alone for once?” I scream into this house that’s filled with ghosts
Well, I never feel alone, the specters of my peers’ dead eyes are cold
[Chorus]
Shining bright rectangle:
Make my heart beat fast tonight
Teach me something I don’t know
Or ruin the ignorance that I love
Someday I’ll be rid of you
And someday pigs will fly
How do I know when I’m done?
Well, I guess I’ll have to look it up
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
My spelling is degrading
My mental math is swirling down the drain
To say that it is scary
Is underestimating what we made
The fire is done spreading
Are we okay with living in the flames?
Well, I never thought I’d hate a world
Where everything is turned into a game
[Verse 4]
Now I’m always losing money
I’m always losing to the temptation
Of seeing what your doing
Everyone is always having so much fun
Why do we decide to lie to these tiny, glowing pocket stars
With so much information;
I’ve come to the conclusion
That being sad is hard
[Chorus]
Shining bright rectangle:
Make my heart beat fast tonight
Teach me something I don’t know
Or ruin the ignorance that I love
Someday I’ll be rid of you
And someday pigs will fly
How do I know when I’m done?
Well, I guess I’ll have to look up
[Verse 5]
One two three four
Coded compact calculator currently coerce and fill my hands
Oh, dark digital dictionary:
What’s the definition of success?
Please provide examples, or maybe just a quick tutorial
You taught me how to play guitar
Maybe you can teach me how to make my life less dull?
[Chorus]
Shining bright rectangle:
Make my heart beat fast tonight
Teach me something I don’t know
Or ruin the ignorance that I love (Two- one, two, three, four)
Someday I’ll be rid of you
And someday pigs will fly
How do I know if I’m done?
Maybe I’ll never be done
Maybe Terminator was right
How do I know if I'm done?
Well, I guess I’ll have to look it up
