[Verse 1]

I got friends, too many

I’m Microsoft Excelling

Just to see if I’ve days free

I’m at the park

I’m at the supermarket

I don’t use my debit card online for my safety

I do the things

I watch the things

Part of the cultural zeitgeist, oh

Try to distract from every single thing that makes my chest tight


[Chorus]

Existential dread

From your boots to your head

Just when you try to stop treading water

Swoops in like a bitter wind

From east to the west

[Instrumental}


[Verse 2]

My ears have started popping

If you see the heels a’ rocking

Then don’t come knocking at my door

Five unanswered WhatsApp mеssages

Staying that way, confess it

Or throw my phone off of Mam Tor

If еverything’s meaningless

Should it quell uneasiness

Or double down the disquietude?

There’s kids shot down by armies

While I’m here with savoiardis

Making my tiramisu


[Chorus]

Existential dread

From your boots to your head

Just when you try to stop treading water

Swoops in like a bitter wind

From east to the west

Existential dread (existential dread)

From your boots to your head (from your boots to your head)

Just when you try to stop treading water

Swoops in like a bitter wind

From east to the west
