lyrics

I'm hitting walls trying to talk to you
I don't know what I got to offer you
I know we both speak the same damn language
But your whole crew's got some rules too loose

You got semantic dilemmas with whatever
No, we ain't seeing eye to eye
Why try to fight systemics for the better
When you can't even get shit right

So if you can't get over or around it
Sometimes you gotta barge right through
Words don't mean the same when I'm talking to you

I don't know what you've lived, what you've been through
I don't know what you've read or what you've seen

But you don't even really mean what you're saying
When you're saying what you really mean

Ways in your head you've been fed to conform to,
A screenplay you've been sent to perform to,
And nowadays, it's a shame, nothing sane, just complaints all the same 'til they bore you,

So if you can't get over or around it
Sometimes you gotta barge right through
Words don't mean the same when I'm talking to you

So if you can't get over or around it
Sometimes you gotta barge right through

I'm re-reading homestuck again, like a sane person, and just went on a spiral wailing to myself (lovingly) about all the beautiful art that came out of this fandom in its prime, some of which is just as integral to my love of this ridiculous webcomic as the thing itself. Haven't bit the bullet to buy the OSTs on bandcamp yet but this album deserves it. I'm very normal about things I loved when I was 14 and continue to love, I promise big suit david byrne
