"Sleep Talk Metropolis" lyrics

Metro, suburbs, commuters
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
Crosswalk, clock in, Excel sheets
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
Meetings, lunch break, overtime
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
Instant ramen
Rinse, repeat
Rinse, repeat

I'm building my muscles
I make my own 弁当 (Bentō)
Low waste and responsible
I'm learning to be minimal

I wish to be hired
To pay off my student loans
Enjoyed being alone
Don't want to be alone

I wanted my own home
I needed a new phone
I wanted to travel
The times are different
Did you know? Did you know?

We're living in a dream, living in a dream
Spilling our time on repeat, on repeat
Filling in the empty space
Beyond the yellow lines
We're living for the dream, living for the dream
Tiny mice looked right at me, right at me
Is it a sign that it's time to slow down?
I am in a race of one

Sunday morning, vacuum time
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
Grocery shopping, laundromat
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
Pay bills, Emails, second job
Choo-choo-cha, choo-choo-cha
One-pan spaghetti
Rinse, repeat
Rinse, repeat

Met you in the middle
'Cause I got a flexible
Open-minded ego
Working to be sustainable

Wish you could be fired
So you could stop asking
"Why are you still alone?"
Don't want to be alone

I wanted time to date
I wanted a child someday
Tell me it's not too late
I'm doing my best
In my best, in my best

I'm dreaming of a sunny balcony
A cup of coffee, a buttered toast
A purring kitty living in a dream
I'm living a distant dream
I'm living for this dream
So don't you say yours was better

Living in a dream, living in a dream
Spilling our time on repeat, on repeat
Filling in the empty space
Beyond the yellow lines
We're living for the dream, living for the dream
Tiny mice looked right at me, right at me
Is it a sign that it's time to slow down
I am in a race of one
