The World Is Crumbling Down Lyrics

One of these days I'll pick up the vacuum again

Maybe I'll even scrub down the shower and toilet

Get used to having no more than a handful of friends

Open myself to affection instead of avoid it

But living alone in your twenties is not like a movie

Or god if it is then I guess I'm just doing it wrong

The one thing I know is that I can't wake up without coffee

While all my ex-lovers forget who I am and move on

Where is that golden goose I've been chasing

Kind of wish I was living in my parents' basement

The world is crumbling down and I just think about me

Selfish brat he doesn't have a shred of dignity

Feels like I live in a fog nowadays

Wishing I made a home in a happier place

Life ain't a race to the bottom but fuck am I winning

Try to keep up with the news but it's hard to keep score

Too many ways I could die in the next couple minutes

COVID or climate or hate crimes or shootings or war

And you wonder why my generation's no longer religious

Hold fast, my child

Who would ever hurt you, gentle and mild

Oh but the weight of existence it pushes me down

And the SSRIs haven't turned me around

I'll sooner be dead than save up for a house

So dig me a home in the ground

The world is crumbling down and I just think about me

Selfish brat he doesn't have a shred of dignity

Feels like I live in a fog nowadays

Wishing I made a home in a happier place

If life ain't a race to the bottom then where the fuck am I going

I'd like to be more than a product of my circumstances

I'd like to live up to the me that my parents had wanted

They didn't have much to give but they gave it

Now I lie awake scared that I'm gonna waste it

Some days I'm so full of shit I swear to fuck I can taste it

The world is crumbling down and I just think about me

Selfish brat he doesn't have a shred of dignity

Feels like I drift in a fog nowadays

Wishing I made a home in a happier place

If I made a home in a happier place would I be happier

No life ain't a race to the bottom but fuck am I first
