[Intro]
The Sophs, The Sophs, The Sophs, The Sophs
[Verse 1]
I was twenty-two years old when I realized that if something is going to happen to me, I do not wanna be there for it
I wanna say something without saying it
Pray to whoever covers the tab
And retract into myself like a snapping box turtle whenever accountability rears its ugly mug
Mug, mug, mug, mug, mug, mug, mug in my hand at Silverlake Lounge
The only place in this city to get a decent toddy
My girl takes a break from talking about her cousin
Who she can't remembеr is either great at supеrficial interactions
Or great at making interactions superficial
She leans over the table, "Are you sick?"
"No"
"What's with the drink?"
"I don't wanna get sick"
Israela
[Verse 2]
Boyle Heights, on the corner of First and Via Las Vegas, there's a creature white-knuckling a cardboard slat
Every day it says something different
Today it says, "Looking 4 the cheapest way to kill myself" with the number 4 instead of the word four
I got to thinking if I were to die, I'd want it to be in an expensive fashion
Cybertruck hearse, Nobu catering
Check for blue checks at the door, and cue that red light whenever you feel the salt water well
Well, well, well, well, well, well, I protect my virginity with the neurotic vigilance of someone called a pervert on the internet
Unsheathing my horror stories and human resource lexicon like a hot steel sword
Stiff as a stimulated cock
[Verse 3]
Sex with you makes me feel like the first time I heard Sarah Nixey say, "Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it"
Sex with you makes me love talking 'bout my generation and a revolution being kept alive by Cocomelon graphics and landmine words too heady to look up
Sex with you could make me think I really care about what Didion says in Slouching Toward Bethlehem
Like I really saw myself in that baby on acid, soft belly exposed
Rolling around on that shag carpet like a piggy, pig, pig in a sty
Israela
[Verse 4]
Alright, I just started drinking
That's not a part of the song, I legitimately got nervous I wouldn't be able to write the rest of this if I wasn't drunk
Holly had some Tito's in the cabinet to the left of the fridge, and I mixed it with some Limoncello Lacroix
I'm a few sips in an honestly, it makes a world of difference
All that being said, we really gotta kill Netanyahu
Me? I'm as good of a Colin Powell as Tyler Perry
The spark of youth inside me reduced to a firewood log covered in warm asparagus piss
[Verse 5]
I was twenty-two years old when I realized that if something is going to happen to me, I do not wanna be there for it
I wanna say something without saying it
Pray to whoever covers the tab
And jack off in peace
