[Verse 1]
I lost the passion that comes with living
Since I started university
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
And maybe use a sextant
But now I just press facsimiles
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
Well, that's what you said
'Cause you wanna watch TV, and sleep all day, and lay in bed, but
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
And pay my rent, and reproduce, then feed those kids
And maybe use a sextant
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
'Cause this is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
You'll never get rid of me, oh, I'm like a fucking disease!
I'll make a home in your gut
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[Verse 2]
And what was your thought when you realized
You'll never feel naïve love again?
Was it pain or was it sickness?
Were you proud of who you'd been?
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
Replaced by apathy and dating apps
You held his hands, it felt like flying
Now he's just another man
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
But he's talking marriage and a future
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
I lost the passion that comes with living

[Bridge]
It's okay
Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
[Outro]
(It's okay)
Eat my rent and eat my food
Then eat my dues and eat those kids (It's okay!)
And maybe use a sextant
I don't miss you
I miss the thought of what we were
[Chorus]
'Cause this is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
You'll never get rid of me, oh, I'm like a fucking disease!

Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
Anything to make me feel less numb
It's okay
[Outro]
(It's okay)
Eat my rent and eat my food
Then eat my dues and eat those kids (It's okay!)
And maybe use a sextant
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Based off the song on frontman- Wilbur Soot’s EP Maybe I Was Boring, this song talks about a failed college relationship that the character now feels okay about, except for the fact that the woman is now almost married and he is missing their relationship. So he now complains.
The mention of a sextant (a measure tool used determine the angle between the horizon and either the sun or the moon) is still unknown.
Added in from a commenter: The sextant may be there to symbolize measuring the how long it’s been, or by extension, how far they’ve come
