Lyrics Selfstarter A.E. - Jhariah, Telethon

Selfstarter A.E.

Glad to tell you that your mission statement put a high price on your head.
I gotta tell you when you pitched the pitch, it made me glad that I wasn’t
dead
So, guns-a-blazing, inching quickly forward to a place that I haven’t been.
I knee a dent into the washing machine and put my broken AirPods in
When the only way to go is the one that you don’t know
It puts the automatic earth into the foreground
Half a year to try a service that lets me cut right to the front of the line
And they get long ‘cause of the government workers guarding all of the nice
citizen’s lives.
I watched a film where it was no big deal from around 1965.
There were no seatbelts, you could smoke on board, and the crew was all drunk
by the peak of the climb
Outer space still up above, all the ants straight down below, and still the
automatic earth is in the foreground
I can’t help but slip into the background now
I never thought that it would be like this
I never thought that it would bend, I swear I didn’t, but it did
I never thought that it would end like this
I never thought that it would end
I swear I didn’t, but it did, but it did, but it did, but it did
Now I’m picking out the pieces of my life I swear got harder and I’m swearing
by the book in early March I’d gone self-starter
We’re afraid the breaks are these: Mistook the forest for the trees.
You built no gutter on your eaves and now the mold has grown appendages and
just asked if it can leave.
So…
No regrets.
It’s all too perfect
No regrets.
We’re only perfect
No regrets.
You’re doing perfect
No regrets
