Did you save yourself
No I slept in today
Did you love someone
No I slept in today
Did you bury the dog did you face that day
Yeah I slept in today
I slept in today

Everything costs double since the fever year
Groceries got muscles learned how to sneer
Good people calling themselves stupid and small
Talented hands feeling useless and raw
She's a piano teacher with quiet keys
Says she's a failure on bended knees
I don't know cars I just sign and pray
Convertible dreams in a plastic tray
I see the future like a tow truck light
Every problem wearing my name at night
I don't wanna be the guy to blame
For a car that turns into a lifetime rain

Did you change your life
No I slept in today
Did you chase that dream
No I slept in today
Did you fight the wolves pay the rent be brave
No I slept in today
I slept in today

Uber math feels like a crooked priest
Fifty to the airport two fifty to grief
Not cause you're sick just cause you need
Desperation grows expensive weeds
Take me to Burger King walk the rest
Save a grand on a medical test
Same damn car same damn air
But fear got a price tag hanging there
Dogs die people die clocks get teeth
Families turn into missing wreaths
Life ain't deep it's just loud and mean
And we all pretend we're still clean

Did you fix the car
No I slept in today
Did you call your mom
No I slept in today
Did you learn to live did you learn to pray
No I slept in today
I slept in today

Depression steals the simple verbs
Turns whole plans into nerves
Bed feels like a quiet cave
Braver than the day I face
What do you do when the map goes gray
When the morning weighs a Chevrolet
Not heroic not parade
You slept in today

They say market yourself dance at noon
Feed the algorithm like a cartoon
World scrolling faster than a human can bleed
I'm planting trees while they're growing speed
Dog with a joint in a five second loop
Not even funny just modern soup
Everyone hunting the next quick high
Thumbs like birds too scared to fly
Maybe the world wants something real
But real don't spin like a carnival wheel
I'm yelling truth through a paper cup
While the feed says hurry the hell up

Did you save yourself
No I slept in today
Did you love someone
No I slept in today
Did you bury the dog did you face that day
Yeah I slept in today
I slept in today

Life's heavy mean and badly made
Hope's on backorder bills get paid
Whole damn planet wants a résumé
And I slept in today
I don't even know if I like this song
I'd rather sleep in anyway
Tomorrow's another day
This one got away
