lyrics

I heard that Steely Dan song at the dollar store and it just lit me up
I said to myself “I ain’t even got any kids, so what the fuck?”
Is it time to buy a party boat and move to Connecticut
Or maybe pump the breaks a bit

Save your sighs
Drown your hows and whys
Circumvent the rational
Stack the deck until your glass is full

I pressed pause on my fashion sense when I was 26
Maybe if I walk around looking like it’s 2012 I can fool the kids
Maybe this is much sadder than accepting I’m fatter and just leaning into quiet night and buying things

Save your grief
Drown your core beliefs
Circumvent the rational
Hog the well until your glass is full

(Celebrate resignation...)

Stage one: shock and denial
Stage two: conquer the troll lifestyle
Stage three: anger and bargain
Stage four: watching a Golden Girls rerun
Stage five: holding a vigil
Stage six: a Dorian Grey-like sigil
Stage seven: acceptance and hope
Stage eight: chasing the dopamine to cope

Save your strain
Drown your guilt and shame
Void the unavoidable
Have a ball until your heart is full
Save your sorrow
Do the thing tomorrow
Circumvent the albatross
Just act like you meant to get lost
