[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
