Synthetic Fabrics Songtext
von Elizabeth Moen

Made plans for when I was 16
When I was about eight or nine
Making plans for my mid-thirties
Since I turned 25
Seems strange and if I do the math right
Seems what I planned today
Was planned out by my last self
Round it up and it′s been a decade

Synthetic fabrics
Life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present
Life anticipated
Ideals and logic
Blurred out and faded


Spend the day focused on the next one
Build a schedule I gracefully erase
Spend the night with a head full of ideas
I should put a list in its place
Seems I need just a bit more consistency
Or at least that's what the app said
Scream our secrets in case someone′s listening
Cancel dinner and go straight to bed

Synthetic fabrics
Life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present
Life anticipated
Ideals and logic
Blurred out and faded

Lay in my old bed and do simple equations
Try and bore myself to sleep
Quickly veers to finances and my body
And all the things I need to do by next week
Next week what if I got pregnant?
What if one day I want to have kids?
What if tomorrow I cancel my appointment?
What if I'm not meant for this?


Synthetic fabrics
Life syndicated
Song symbiotic
Simple and jaded
Seemingly present
Life anticipated
Ideals and logic
Blurred out and faded
