about

This was the third song written after Owen's death. It is meant to reflect the frustration of mundane things following a traumatic event.

lyrics

Instead of kickin ass or takin names
We’re spillin gas and changin lanes
And I really shouldn’t wait so long to get an oil change
But it’s all the same so please don’t blame me

Because I’m really fucking tired of those ants in my house
Whatever’s livin in the ceiling opossum rat raccoon or mouse
I’ll kill those ants with my bare hands
Even though my hands will smell like dead ants

My nose has bled for longer than a nose should bleed
My hair grew out much longer than it needed to be
I wear binoculars because birds are all I need to see
I may lock myself inside my house but at least I’ve got bare feet

I suppose desperation sort of sounds like depression
Please excuse me doctor but could you repeat the question
Cuz I just can’t get my mind off those fucking ants
Wonderin what they’re gettin into now

And I’m really fucking tired of those ants in my house
Whatever’s livin in the ceiling opossum rat raccoon or mouse
I’ll kill those ants with my bare hands
Even though my hands will smell like dead ants
Dead ants dead ants
Like dead ants dead ants dead ants
Dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
Dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
I like to dance de-dead ants de-dead ants
Over dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
De-dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
De-dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
De-dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
De-dead ants de-dead ants de-dead ants
