jam mechanics - on the morning commute (demo) lyrics

[chorus]
on the morning commute
sing along with the tune
i can throw on a podcast, a radio broadcast
all the things i can do
on the morning commute

the beginning of the day is easy, i have a list of tasks to do
get up, brush t++th, make toast, eat toast, make bed, don’t eat bed
get dressed (required), comb hair (that one is optional)
plenty of structure, and likewise my work day is a breeze
between meetings that should have been emails
and emails that protect me from meetings, i am stimulated all day
left and right and from every corner of my cubicle, a bеautiful hectic chaos that keeps my mind racing and taken up with to+do’s
but it’s that half hour in between

[chorus]
that d+mn morning commutе
sing along with the tune
i can throw on a podcast, a radio broadcast
all the things i can do
on my morning commute

you know, we don’t use what scientists call our “active” brain when we drive?
it’s why we can hold conversations with passengers, or illegally, as i found out, on cell phones
or completely sp+ce out and realize ten minutes, twelve miles, and six mcdonalds later
and that’s where you find me. nowhere to run
can’t even use my hands to defend myself
no amount of npr or ariana grande can drown you out
no crosswords to keep my attention locked down
and you know it
you say “ahaha! your melatonin might’ve saved you last night, but you’re
legally locked into consciousness now
30 minutes locked in a mazda
with nothing to properly stop ya, so you can buckle up, bud, i’ve come here to haunt ya”

so i snuck out last night and went to town like the grinch of suburbia
climbing every traffic light and shaking the red and yellow glitter out of each one
flipping every stop sign around to its “go+side”
a couple well+placed cones and now we have two northbound freeways and everyone else
going south can just use waze or something
because i am getting this over with
i painted over all the lane dividers on the way to work
and had enough black paint leftover to put a tunnel on a cliffside, that shaved off another seven minutes
funny, isn’t it?
it took a drive to make me learn my limits
