Emily And - Meta-Sportsmanship Lyrics

Writing till my brain turns to gravy
Why did I think that academia would save me?
I'm so crazy...

"Talk to someone who understands"
But everybody understands
The same things differently

Everything I'm learning makes my ears ring
Every page I turn in makes my head spin
And everything's...
The same

If I could play dumb
Then I could pass easy
But when I do that, nobody sees me
Please just see me

Why should I pay for someone to grade me?
Make me overanalyze the society that made me
And made me crazy?

Sit in the back row and keep my head down
Then go write 15 pages of what I've found
But it don't fit
The prompt

Sisyphus is happy but I'm broke
And every f*cking subject makes me choke
On multiplicities

When you get too smart things just stop making sense
And who am I to pitch in my 2 cents
When no one's listening?

Read the same shit over till it burns my eyes
Spit it up in circles; philosophize
Articulate my precious
Brain goop

It's hard now that I see... I just want to be me
I'm not a thought machine, but I
Keep on cranking out this madness
I keep on cranking out this madness
I keep on cranking out this madness
And they love me
