lyrics

LYRICS:

Drank coffee. Screen gawking. TikToking ‘til 6 in the morning.
Steeped all in peak boredom. Keep scrolling like sleep ain’t important.
Seems awkward, my familiarity feeling this nauseous.
I should stop scrolling. Shit, in truth this is really appalling.

Not used to caffein. Don’t drink it. This ain’t frequent decorum.
I don’t sleep well at best of times. I don’t need these endorphins.
I made my mum her coffee, messed up the sugar proportions.
She’s diabetic, so I told her I’d drink it all for her.

So here we are, I’m shaking so much I feel all my organs.
I’m hitting triplets and polyrhythms with my aorta.
I'm meant to meet my friend at 10, if I cancel it's awkward.
But if I Zoom exhausted, then Imma move like a tortoise.

Drank coffee. Screen gawking. TikToking ‘til 6 in the morning.
Steeped all in peak boredom. Keep scrolling like sleep ain’t important.
Drank coffee. Screen gawking. TikToking ‘til 6 in the morning.
I should have drank some fucking camomile as a precaution.

Ugh, fuck me!
