lyrics

Everybody grows a beard eventually
Soon enough shaves it off
Builds a time machine
Draws a bunch of cartoons
Takes cold showers
Loses their awareness
Acts like a camel
Then they grow a beard again
And forget that they grew it out the first time
They never did
Yeah they think they never did

"Between all the important parts of their life, illustrated above and below, they wake up every morning with a thousand knots in their back only to lay in the sink and turn the hot water on, letting it pour over them. Doing nothing to help, but feeling better than terrible. They spend the days carrying microwaves in their backpacks but seldom use them for anything other than checking the time or getting cancer. They don't sing about any of it because their health and truth are meaningless, whereas all the things that shouldn't be meaningful are meaningful enough to sing over a dumb little song they wrote. But love is rightfully meaningful, and although it might seem they're singing about nothing, they're singing about love. A beautiful vague love. So everyone continues looking, talking about nothing, singing about it, and eventually finding it."

Everybody shaves their head eventually
Soon enough grows it out
Throws away their couch
Plans another road trip
Takes on Sephiroth
Thinks about what they should've said to their crush
Then they shave their head again
And forget that they shaved it off the first time
They never did
Yeah they--never did
