Lyrics
You are all gathered here today

To shed any ounce of respect

(You had for me)

I'm here now crying tears of joy

Make contact, not bloodshed

We can't seem to get along

Like squirrels with bombs can

Not sure if savage or disappointing

I don't want to be liked or respected

Merely known

Love has been put on the back burner

Yet the familiar scent is nearby

Where did the time go?

Moreover, how'd it move so quickly?

Quickly

Oceans are split in half

The same applies to everyone here

In this dank, morose court

I'm getting spooned by various sources

And earning a trip to the vacuum

They're sitting across the room from me

Without words or sudden movement

Haunting, isn't it?

It's also something pleasing in the end

Love has been put on the back burner

And yet this familiar scent is nearby

Where did the time go?

Moreover, how'd it move so quickly?

So quickly
