Merit Dot lyrics

Oh god, my mom
Just gave me a weed sticker
To put onto my guitar
Rarely ever smoking weed
But still I stuck it in on
Cause the stickers I put on there
Have a story or a yarn

Someone that I once knew gave me a sticker of a star
She told me I should stick it on the back of my lanyard
(It looked a little lame but I did it anyway)
And every time my friends asked I had to explain

Any hint of sentimentality I hold onto
The little things that I hold dear if it has any value
And when I have any single experience I have to write songs

f*ck, what's wrong?
I know there's something
That I just can't put my finger on
Oh, what's wrong with me?
Tell me, please
Rip off a sticker
For it just reminds me

I need to sleep
But hundreds of these memories
Keep playing on repeat
Of things I could've done
Or changed or handled differently
And it's looming like a spectre
Constantly reminding me
That everything is volatile and soon one day will leave
Told me she enjoyed the night, and now we never speak
(Never had merit, for all a sticker is)
Is a piece of f*cking paper with nothing else to it

Idle hands make one want to take
A gun and place it in their face
A bird in the hand will make one break
It's f*cking neck and throw it away

When your life's plans
Are just handed to you
With no circ*mstance
All the little happenings
Mean so much more
Than you would think
And I know that the roots
One day outgrow
And if I was there
You would too

Oh, what's wrong with me?
Tell me, please
Rip off a sticker
For it just reminds me
