Recorded in our home studio on Logic.
A song about applying for jobs that you dont want.
lyrics
At least i can say that i tried
showed up and stood there in line
filled out the forms they required
crossed the T's and dot the I's
Matched up the shirts with the ties
polished up in this disguise
said all i could to get hired
but something didn't feel right
Questioning came from all sides
they tested and pestered and pried
i just kept right on replying
and never looked terrified
applied all the words that they like
smiled at all the right times
endlessly ever denying
that something didn't feel right
So at least i can say that i tried
to get my submission inside
and let them all into my mind and
assimilate with real life
but i never got over the line
an ember was there all the time
a gentle incessant reminding
that something didn't feel right
