Kleenex Girl Wonder Worry The Well Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You traded in your landmark mansion
For a studio apartment in the sticks
To recalibrate and focus on your passions
But you're still broken-hearted and impotent
You always like to say that life is what happens
When your suicidal ideation takes a turn
The few trifles you've managed to manufacture
Are sublime but ironically that makes it worse

[Chorus 1]
Alright, missing the crude cynicism of your youth
When you didn't have a clue what you were doing
Is an adorable move, but the unfortunate truth
Is that your diffidence proves that you're improvin'
The future is changing, the past is an elaborate ruse
'Cause nobody ever knew what you were sayin'
Your public is waiting, what the hell is happening to you?
You know all you have to do is make a statement, ready or not

[Verse 2]
To whomever it may concern
The stakes have been made in the passive voice
You make, you get, you take, you burn
You eventually learn that you have no choice
When the storm on the horizon fully obfuscates the sun
And the sirens fade to fuzz in the background noise
It's fight or flight or freeze and since you can't take a punch or make a run for it
You're stuck and that's kinda the whole point, oh
[Chorus 2]
You never know how the coinslip will go
And in the heat of the moment, you're a gambler
You didn't know, you've been bruised, you've been broke
You've been waiting on the phone and no one answers
This is no different, you aren't in a bout on the street
Because the powers that be want to keep you happy
The past is clever, reactive, lenticular 3D
But the future's a hologram you can't see, just wait

[Solo]

[Chorus 3] This isn't the future, where did you go?
Is this just an illusion? I should've known better
Never attempt to adjust the tempo
Memento remembers no memento
And the past isn't static, it's always in flux
You don't need magic to mess things up
But it's probably just as well you love feeling lost
And sorry for yourself and now you're back on the cross

[Verse 3]
[?] and your CBT
For your PTSD, you're in perfect health
You used to tease the humour out of sacred histories
[?] disbelief 'til the curtain fell
Even in uncharted waters, you would go in deep
Tread unnaturally serene and sure of yourself
Now without your diving bell, you're struggling to breathe
Jumping buckets under leaks, the worry the well
[Chorus 4]
Well, what do you need? Who do you want to be?
If you're looking up to me, I can help you
But if you believe what you were led to believe
Honestly I don't know what to tell you
The future's invisible, the past is impossible to read
So I guess all it needs is the present
And you're like a mythical creature projected on a screen
If you want to complete the impression, you need to break free

[Outro]
Or else you're just another face in the crowd
And you'll stay complacent
As long as your personal information is safe and sound
But all it takes is a branch in the simulation to take you out
You think it's a game, but it's business and not competition
Isn't playing around
It's really too early to tell
How this will end, so we're in no big hurry to sell
Well, it takes a special kind of embarrassing person
To hire a dirty attorney to help
And throw themselves on the mercy of the worried well
