(LYRICS)

When I was a kid I saw a man’s dead body
Lying on the carousel in the the park on Thompson Lane
His eyes and his mouth and his arms were open
His head was rolled back like he died in a lot of pain
And I don’t know why I’m telling you this story
I don’t know why everything I think about is so fucked up
I don’t know why it’s so taboo to talk about death
When it’s the only thing in life we can be sure of

Every night, and every day
The fear of being human remains
I might say, I’m not afraid
But the fear of being human
The fear of being human remains
Remains, remains, remains, remains

I always thought I’d make a good mortician
I haven’t felt anything since I was four years old
I think about fighting in the zombie apocalypse
And how long I’d survive without my phone in the cold
And if everyone’s so afraid of their legacy being extinguished
Then maybe we should all engrave our names on our bones
I guess permanence is the only thing that I can’t relinquish
So when I die somebody please etch Candace on my skull

Every night, and every day
The fear of being human remains
I might say, I’m not afraid
But the fear of being human
The fear of being human remains
Remains, remains, remains, remains

A squirrel is a rat with pretty privilege
Baby I’m a cockroach, I’m hard to kill
And I’m not afraid to interface with whatever god or devil
But what if I leave a mess and stick my family with the bill
The bill
Who’s gonna pay the bill?
The bill
The bill

Every night, and every day
The fear of being human remains
I might say, I’m not afraid
But the fear of being human
The fear of being human remains
Remains, remains, remains, remains
