Recency Bias

Circuses or ghost towns
There's no in betweens to know now
But I have always occupied
The middle where it's cool to hide
If silence is an issue
I don't have a good defense
For overthinking everything
I've ever almost said
I think I might need diagnoses
I know that's all man-made terms
But I've been looking for an act of God
And I keep getting hurt
The good thing in all of this
Is staying anonymous
We're looking for monoliths
Hey, there's nothing in aisle 6
I've been something of an addict these days
But still an optimist
Saying this has got to be the worst it's gonna get, mhm

You're looking for hope, I don't know how
Watching you fortify yourself
Garner your books and pack your bags for the resistance
Tell me it couldn't be that bad
Tell me you'll call my mom and dad
If anything happens when we're out there
I'll be vigilant
The good thing in all of this is earning your calluses
Getting resilient
Studying consequence
I've been something of a scholar these days
I've been trying but I get it wrong
I've been something of a revelation
I just don't know what I want
And I've been something of a loser these days
I've been nothing like my father these days
I've been something of a liar these days
I am okay, I am okay, okay, okay
The good thing in all of this is being irrelevant
Getting your tires checked
And going back out again
The good thing in all of this
Is having a friend in it
Come tell me how it is
And how it's been
