Trying To Pass Off Playing Merge Games As A Form Of Meditation

Bb Bb Gm Dm Bb Bb Gm Dm


[Verse 1]

Bb                         Gm                  Dm              Bb
  I tried to find a way to fix what feels like nature so it’s stuck
                               Gm                  Dm             Bb
  Hard to embrace what can not change when it just makes you feel fucked
                                     Gm    Dm           Bb
  Some pains they felt they vanished after so long unaddressed
                            Gm                Dm            Eb
  When I’m alone too long I find these feelings were all repressed


[Chorus]

  Bb                                  Gm        Dm
  Hold my nose and breath and swallow three
  Bb                           Gm       Dm
  My chest bubbles up with escapees
  Bb                             Gm       Dm
  Gulp twice more if body does so please
         Bb
  Then release


[Verse 2]

Bb                            Gm              Dm           Bb
  And so the method helps you cope, return to memorized routine
                      Gm           Dm                Bb
  So I am pacified by reminders of times my mind was clean
Bb                          Gm              Dm          Bb
  It’s sure not cure but distraction is the safest in between
                             Gm            Dm                  Eb
  Just to get me through this moment, this hour, this day this week


[Chorus]

  Bb                                     Gm        Dm
  Tap legs, tug hair, smoke and stare at screen
  Bb                            Gm        Dm
  Meditation seems too hard for me
      Bb                                   Gm        Dm
  But repetition helps these hard thoughts breathe
           Bb
  Zone out reprieve


[Verse 3]

Bb                        Gm         Dm         Bb
  So contemplation enters self-flagellation easily
                       Gm               Dm          Bb
  I beat myself up but I’m now speaking metaphysically

                          Gm        Dm               Bb
  The existential dread debilitated with such frequency
                        Gm       Dm                 Eb
  So I need coping mechanisms to still live peacefully


[Chorus]

  Bb                                 Gm        Dm
  Hiccup cures, and counting games I need
  Bb                             Gm        Dm
  Record breaking swallow-fest indeed
  Bb                              Gm        Dm
  Reasoning fidget behaviour, they read
            Bb
  As hyperbole
