Valentine's Day Lyrics

I call in to cancel, then pause for romantic mediocrity

Most inconsequential composite of cancer

I'm sick, but I'll dance until demand has increased

You have to collapse to consolidate past lives—summoning strength

Make time for the doctor, take back what you've gone through

A healthy exchange

But of course this is nonsense reborn out of context

It's Valentine's Day

There's a lot not to process, uncomfortable contrast

Have I made any progress? Do you recognize me?

Unexplainable lightness, marked down for politely pretending to sleep

I reject your advice while compulsively lying

Dear god, don't remind me—I know I can't leave

You have to collapse to consolidate past lives—wait, does that sound insane?

I recognize that I may need help

So I engage with this vacant hell

Eventually the truth will reveal itself

We're allowed to change
