lyrics

in a parallel universe everything's as it should be
nobody sneezed on that butterfly, there's no invasive fish species
there'd be no violent trashing winds fanning the flames at the hot sauce spot
there them, you and I could be happy

we'd all still be at that backyard show, the one with the vegan spread
we'd dance and get bitten the hell up, but somehow all the bugs lived
and when we left everything would change, just slighted hearts through wily bits
there few showed our anxious souls mercy

parallel backyard, nothing else matters, we're all leading our best lies

but back here in reality, we both say we're fine
curated, ducklipped, hollow friends pretend that not one thing's on the line
have you seen their stories today? strutters crow so-called good news
and in that moment I pretend I'm happy
at least one of us should be happy
I'm trying to be happy if you're happy
