lyrics

Made plans for when I was sixteen
When I was about eight or nine
Making plans for my mid-thirties
Since I turned twenty five
Seems strange, and if I do the math right
Seems what I plan today
Was planned out by my last self
Round it up and it's been a decade

Synthetic fabrics life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present life anticipated
Ideals and logic blurred out and faded

Spend the day focused on the next one
Build a schedule I gracefully erase
Spend the night with a head full of ideas
I should put a list in its place
Seems I need just a bit more consistency
Or at least that's what the app said
Scream out secrets in case someone's listening
Cancel dinner and go straight to bed

Synthetic fabrics life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present
Life anticipated
Ideals and logic blurred out and faded

Lay in my old bed
Do simple equations
Try and bore myself to sleep
Quickly veers to finances and my body
And all the things I need to do by next week

Next week what if I got pregnant
What if one day I want to have kids
What if tomorrow I cancel my appointment
What if I'm not made for this

Synthetic fabrics life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present
Life anticipated
Ideals and logic blurred out and faded

Blending fierce, massive vocals and raw bluesy guitar with introspective lyrics and electronic textures, Elizabeth Moen "showcases both strength and vulnerability, reminding us that these traits often go hand in hand" (NPR Music).
