Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Put your thumb and fingers around my neck

The wooden knob on a cabinet

Pull me open and see what's inside

Do you worry about what comes next?

This new obliqueness that we'll deal with

Just pull me open and see what's inside

[Chorus]

Ergonomic for the rest of my days

I'd rather melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt away

Ergonomic for the rest of my days

I'd rather melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt away

Ergonomic for the rest of my days

I'd rather melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt away

Ergonomic for the rest of my days

I'd rather melt, melt, melt, melt

[Instrumental]

Did you imagine a great white plane

With every detail of a filmic grain?

Are you a cynic, just like me?

Quick and easy, undergrowth, consume me

[Instrumental]

You'll never know I'm even there

[Instrumental]

You'll never know I'm even there

[Instrumental]

You'll never know I'm even there

[Instrumental]

You'll never know I'm even there

[Refrain]

Well, this isn't what I wanted

So many options to be disappointed

Beneath the things you don't think about

In the undergrowth where I melt

Well, this isn't what I wanted

So many options to be disappointed

Beneath the things you don't think about

In the undergrowth where I melt

Well, this isn't what I wanted

So many options to be disappointed

Beneath the things you don't think about

In the undergrowth where I melt

[Outro]

You'll never know I'm even there

[Instrumental]

You'll never know I'm even there
