DImensional travel can be so disorienting...

lyrics

I go for a drive, but I don’t know what I’m doing
(What the fuck I’m doing)
Haphazardly moving my arms in a circle
(What are you, stoned?)
Actually, I’m sitting here at home all alone
(It’s okay, it’s okay)
Actually, actually, actually!

I sit here at home, but I’m bored ‘cause there’s nothing to do
(Dammit to hell!)
Actually nothing to lay my hands on
(What are you, blind?)
Oh, literally, I’m sitting here inside a void
(It’s okay, it’s okay)
Literally, literally, literally!

I wish I had someone to argue with
‘Cause I’m feeling so alone
I might be boring, but I’m accurate
‘Cause besides me there’s no one else home!

(Literally!)
My lungs hurt and I can’t breathe
(Literally!)
‘Cause there’s no air in space
(Actually!)
There’s air but none I can breathe
(Literally!)
The air gets sucked from my face -

Am I alive, I wonder, ‘cause who knows?
(Is there a god?)
Actually, logic would dictate I’m dead
(My body is gone!)
Literally, I think I get the point now
(Flashes of light! Flashes of light!)
Literally, literally, literally!
