consonant - post-pathetic lyrics

[verse 1]
aren’t i dull, since we drew the line?
barred any evidence of interior life?
but that comes custom+ordered, you made it plain
“don’t get heavy on me or i’m gone” you said
now i’m a pleasant no one, i’m barely here
a shadow passed from time to time

[chorus]
got the program, took the cure
the post+pathetic era’s here
but how did things get cold so quick?

[verse 2]
aren’t you bored, miss my hissy fits?
i’d get mad and pout for an hour
’cause you couldn’t fit
me in for a minute, you’re pressed for time
but i got your patterns, i spot your car
find you in the woods, you laugh, “hey no fair!”
i’ve laid the trap that caught me out

[chorus]
of my mind, half+obsessed
a high+pathetic scary mess
is that when things went cold so quick?
[bridge]
she lives to find “connection”
with him it was electric
her juju lady said they’d married seven times
just practice in their previous lives
strange licorice and candor
such tongue and groove together
his method: lift the skirt over her upraised arms
her black high heels the last thing on
say it happened
grant me that last favor
tell me i’m not dreaming
what we had was something
something one might hold and not let go

[verse 3]
i think i know what happened
was it when you heard that song?
i lobbed a bomb and used that word: “love”
love, glove, moon, june—what’s the big deal?
it’s just some lame tune
and a writer who’s desperate for words
to fill a hole

[chorus]
a hole that’s closed, a wound that’s healed
the post+pathetic remedy
for how things got so cold so quick
i guess newness ends
cured but curious i present
post+pathetic happiness:
neutered, fixed, companionable
