lyrics

Sit behind a computer screen
Do some shit that nobody sees
Optimize, synergize
Buzz words for wasting my life

The itch keeps coming back
And Netflix is shallow scratch
But work was shit, and I’m too tired today
So let me consume my life away

Oh baby, I’m circling down that drain of numbing the pain
How do I escape all this bullshit when all of my life revolves around it

So I run and rant, and scream and shout
and impotently wave my arms about
I’m pointing at nothing, that’s the problem you see
I’m helplessly pointing at everything

And I know, the inertia’s to great,
Collectively we’ve sealed our fate, What a marvel (marvel)
the human race
Left behind by our innovative chase
But this is progress,(progress) you say to my face
But why do I run to the mountains to taste
Something that’s free of our taint, thank
God we’ve shown just a little restraint

It’s a boredom that aches in my stomach
But that’s a hollow place for a puppet
Or maybe I’ve just had too much caffeine
To give soul to a life that’s lacking

The itch keeps coming back
I really need a bloody scratch
Cuz work was shit, and somehow I’m always tired
and weeks just give into this endless mire

Oh baby, I’m circling, down the drain of numbing the pain
Oh how do I escape all this bullshit when all of our lives revolve around it

So I run and rant and scream and shout,
and impotently wave my arms about
I point at nothing, that’s the problem you see
I’m helplessly pointing at everything

So I run and rant and scream and shout,
and impotently wave my arms about
I point at nothing, that’s the problem you see
I’m helplessly pointing at everything

And I know, it’s hard to separate
The pain of living from pain we create
I don’t want to ---- live in FRONT of a screen
Waste my chance to be a human being
But then how do ---- I not run away
When this is the game we’re forced to play
Caught between apathy and dread that
Running I’ll leave the world worse when I’m dead

Blanket Approval is a 4-piece groovy indie rock band from NYC.

The two were joined by bassist Max Mena after they collided in the crowd of a punk show in Queens, and later by keyboardist/guitarist Rahul Chakraborty as he answered an ad on Craigslist. ... more
