tap water (Demo)

The tap water turned sour yesterday evening The lights went out in every hall Let the rings slip off, two weeks in, green with envy And I start to feel less tall There's something in the air that makes me feel anxious Some humming everywhere, sometimes it can get obnoxious What the hell am I doing if I have good competition? Who runs the farthest or falls off the fastest? I hate crying on the bedroom floor The carpet is dirty and my heart grows sore I don't know when everybody got meaner There must have been something in the tap water The leaves fall off two months and that's what happens My roommate is stressed that she's also behind I don't know if there's any right feeling One second I'm sad and the next day I'm fine And there's a frequency here that makes me feel anxious The ones who are ahead tend to be the most complacent Locked up in practice rooms trying to find the perfect cadence You're rich off daddy's money, but claim to be prestigious I hate crying on the bedroom floor The carpet is dirty and my heart grows sore I don't know when everybody got meaner There must have been something in the tap water I hate this progression that everyone's leaving I guess that I've entered my stubborn season I hate that the storyline devolved into delusions I swear I see high times on the edge of the horizon I still hate crying on the bedroom floor The carpet is mine but my heart grew bored I don't know why everybody got meaner It must have been something in the tap water The tap water ran clean yesterday morning I turned off the lights at the end of my hall Dust the rings off, eight months in, in a heartbeat Maybe there's some hope after all Maybe there's some good after all
