    to this because this shit was like a religious experience. this song and
    video has somehow taken every
    thought that i’ve ever failed to express
    and make it into something tangible
    not onlv that but in mv favorite genre. sometimes i really connect with a song’s lyrics but i just hate the way it sounds and then i’m disappointed because i just can’t bring myself to listen to the song, but this song sounds good and is incredibly relatable. literally every single lyric and every single line is something goes through my head daily. even down to the fact that i’m a scorpio??? and on top of all that i have this strange love for clowns that nobody seems to understand. if you were to connect my brain to a projector and then hit play this is what you’d get.

    Pedestrian at Best
    Courtney Barnett
    I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends
    Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality
    I like you, despise you, admire you
    What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
    I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success
    But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess
    This, that, the other, why even bother?
    It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head
    Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
    Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
    Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
    I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
    My internal monologue is saturated analog
    It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea
    It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy
    I've got no idea how I even got here
    I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis
    Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess
    Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest
    The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?
    Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
    Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
    Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
    I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
    I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide
    I dislike this internal diatribe when I try to catch your eye
    I hate seeing you cry in the kitchen
    I don't know why it affects me like this
    When you're not even mine to consider
    Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
    Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves
    I'm a fake, I'm a phoney, I'm awake, I'm alone
    I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio
    Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
    Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
    Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
    I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
    Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you
    Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
    Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
    I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
