lyrics

I need a baseline number
I need a control life
I’ve got an anxious hunger
I feel double-blind tonight
If you run a thousand simulations, in how many will I die?
In how many will I die today?

Tell me I’m fine, and I’ll tell you tomorrow
If you’re online you’re next of kin
Everyone beggared and ready to borrow
Tell me I’m fine and I’ll tell you tomorrow

I hear the sirens blaring
In the pin drop night
I went and wrecked my pharynx
Trying to test if it’s alright
You can leave it up to my perception
But I feel pretty tight and tired
On the best of days

Tell me I’m fine, and I’ll tell you tomorrow
If you’re online you’re next of kin
Everyone beggared and ready to borrow
Tell me I’m fine and I’ll tell you tomorrow

Sleep is a mercy
Let the calamity we’ve found
meet gravity and tumble to the ground
Sleep is a mercy
Diphenhydramine compels me
So you don’t need to tell me, tell me

Tell me I’m fine, and I’ll tell you tomorrow
If you’re online you’re next of kin
Everyone beggared and ready to borrow
Tell me I’m fine and I’ll tell you tomorrow

Talk about going out on a high note. I know this group continues under an equally-impressive creative outlet, but the Polymaths close out their run with an astoundingly complete and compelling last effort. I love this so much. Patrick Book
