candi carpenter – nervous system lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i lie to my doctor
about how much i drink and smoke
sitting in an office
surrounded by inspirational quotes
he asks about my income
and level of education
in the middles ages they used to do
this thing called trepanation

a procedure where the surgeon
drills a hole into your skull
to let the evil spirits out
and take the pressure off
the precursor to lobotomy
before neurobiology
my eyes dart around anxiously
ahhhhh

[chorus]
i have a nervous system
i’m nervous all the time
i’m a lot like hannibal
i’m just a cannibal
eating myself alive
i have a nervous system
a nervous
system
[verse 2]
they say that life’s a party
but i’ve always hated parties
i imagine a car wreck
every time i touch my car keys
i don’t wanna go anywhere
i’m a temperamental houseplant
dehydrated, full of hatred
cat hair on my sweatpants

and when i check the captcha box
that says “i’m not a robot”
i’m lying to myself
and i’m lying to my laptop
i don’t wanna hand this down
i’m afraid to reproduce
i wonder if sigmund freud
turned into his dad too

[chorus]
i have a nervous system
i’m nervous all the time
i’m a lot like hannibal
i’m just a cannibal
eating myself alive
i have a nervous system
a nervous
system
[bridge]
i’m just a parietal, occipital
temporal and frontal lobe
cerebellum lizard brainstem
pons and diencephalon
all these cervical, thoracic
lumbar, sacral spinal nerves
peripheral, somatic, autonomic
these are fancy words

[chorus]
for my nervous system
i’m sorry it’s not more organized
it’s business as usual
i’m biting my cuticles
literally eating myself alive

[chorus]
i have a nervous system
i’m nervous all the time
i’m a lot like hannibal
i’m just a cannibal
eating myself alive
i have a nervous system
an unsympathetic nervous system
i have a nervous system
a nervous
system
