Cheekface - Emotional Rent Control lyrics

I'm sorry for what I did
With your heartfelt letter
What's the WiFi login and password in heaven?
We're living paycheck to paycheck to
Paycheck to paycheck
Saving for a big scorpion neck
Tat on the soul

I am eating like it's Thanksgiving
But without the gratitude
Shouting fire at therapy and at Panda Express
Is it a business or a hobby?
A hobby or a business?
Let's replace all the vowels with asterisks

Break down the boxes and put
The lid on the trash
I'm feeling good, but I'm sure it will pass

We need emotional rent control
We're changing our minds


We need to put our brand new
Phones in a bucket of rice
We need low interest rates to
Refinance our jealousy and envy
We need Prudential insurance for when
Our insides are empty
We need state mandated disclosures of
People who aren't nice
We need multiple choice tests and
A small side of fries
We need a giant freaking Snickers
Bar full of ice cream
We need emotional rent control
And real-ass intimacy

Venmo me when you get home so
I know you are safe
A phone call from Unknown
I answer just to have someone to talk to

So much of life can be viewed
Through the metaphor of dance:
Love, loss, war, fate, fear
Protesting nuclear plants
Feathers in a duck's mouth from
Eating the other ducks
I love to touch things a
Lot of people have touched

I am young
Dumb and full of psychiatric medication
I have watched every single episode of PBS
NewsHour and now I'm going on vacation
Can you believe this could be more
Interesting than human interaction together?
I'm sorry for what I did
With your heartfelt letter

Break down the boxes and put
The lid on the trash
I'm feeling good, but I'm sure it will pass

We need emotional rent control
We're changing our minds
We need to put our brand new
Phones in a bucket of rice
We need low interest rates to
Refinance our jealousy and envy
And we need State Farm insurance for
When our stomachs are empty
We need state mandated disclosures of
People who aren't nice
We need multiple choice tests and
A small side of fries
We need a giant freaking Snickers
Bar full of ice cream
We need emotional rent control
And real-ass intimacy

Venmo me when you get home so
I know you are safe
A phone call from Unknown
I answer because I have a few
Things I'm trying to work through
