Not Subtle

about

I was going to call this song "Carson" but then she might figure out it's about her, and that would be awkward.

lyrics

Thought it was a simple case of answer yes or no
I didn't think that it would take me to the where flesh would decompose
A meekish tone was what I had expected when I grabbed the phone
But pleasantly surprised to hear a females then say "hello"
This girl had done her homework though sheepish I still felt exposed
Never understanding just exactly where this talk would go
I told about my muses and my need for making music
Soon the conversation shifted out from underneath amusement
I had opened up my tummy dumped the contents on the floor
There was a calming sense of urgency I simply can't ignore
And I have never felt so natural. It's nothing like the others
Round the bases home we started talking on my mother
Maybe it's the fact that my sex life is a fossil,
maybe I just miss the smell of shampoo in the nostril
7 turned 8, 9, 10 turned to all night
I couldn't think of nothing else but having target in my sight
I am puffing up my feather by sending over rough cuts
Thinking of forevers as my brain can't keep my mouth shut
First contact in the am song title Prayer emoji
Heart high fiveing tonsils sweaty hands are thinking oh jeez
Engaging the conversation always leaving with a question,
then acting I ain't checking my phone every 5 seconds.

I do this to myself I like to call it pre nostalgic
Introduced through sound waves spoke on life and favorite albums
Placed upon a pedestal of impossible standards
Cool Ethan I'm not chest of drums and tiny hammers
I'm building my own horse to fill with all these eager Spartans
Helen sows the beast a brain a lung a shoves a feeble heart in
I've departed from my reason and I just want you to like me
Can't see it how it is can only see it how it might
Play it cool not my playlist, I hint and ask for your
Suddenly I am excited on something I thought was shit before
Shift it for I am not gifted I just spit the lore
Of stories told a thousand times defense is speaking cryptic more
Some dudes simply say they think of love being an ocean
Mines a tangled vine of nuance and over used emotions
I must know more about you... It's becoming obsessive
Check box yes or no a class note was friend requested
Poly sci posts voyerist of all the pictures
Try to get to know you through this person you've enlisted
Listen, I'm not as creepy or persistent
As this song may make it seem I'm simply saying there a difference
Between my hopes and dream you can feel free to just dismiss
If nothing else I feel alive and faithful of my mission
Social media is one fucked up and twisted mistress
As I stumble through your profile box is checked relationship, shit,
Fuck.
