Troubleshot

Everything dies, baby, that's okay

But I don't fear death, I fear decay

Before they put me up on the shelf

Gonna take a long look, a too-long look at myself

Am I overthinking, can you tell

More than likely, but oh well

Gonna put that car in drive

Steer round the struggle and strife

Gonna find that trouble

If it takes all of my life

We're all alive, baby, that's a fact

And I don't wanna go around chicken littling like that

Fiddling this knob, turning that screw

Rewiring the wires and before you know it it's all through

If everything's becoming something else

Is all this sound and fury signifying our best selves

Is it the catalytic chaos

Shakes our hearts and makes us say

Gonna find that trouble

If it takes all lovely day

So busy thinking that there's something wrong with me

I'm missing that the world is singing songs to me

On the brink of obsolete

Running diagnostic suites

With my final five

Percent battery life

Is it a chemical imbalance

Is it a heart gone hard and calloused

Is it the artist's rendition

Is it just the human condition

Am I hungry

Am I depressed

Do I wanna lay my body to rest

Am I old with a heart that's bruised

Am I young with too little to lose

Is it I'm so far behind that I actually think I'm ahead

Or is it the casually talking casualties

While we're scrolling in bed

Steering left and right

To avoid the wrong end

I don't wanna waste my days

Trying to prolong them

One's not enough, two's too much

That's what we call the human touch

I'll be right there beside you

If you don't mind the crutch

They say in the end

We all send up the same cry

We say is this how I die
