Liner Notes

For the garbage skirmish. Pls commend me for writing this song instead of scrolling tiktok for yet another hour of my life

Title inspired by Hozier’s “Wasteland, Baby!”

Lyrics

All my days are landfills
Trying to fill the time
I live in a landfill, baby
Cuz I don't wanna live in my mind

There's a beautiful landscape
But I'm stuck to my phone
Cuz if I stop scrolling
Then I'll be alone

I'm a trash can on fire
Or that's what I fear
I don't want to look at me
I don't want to be here

All my days are landfills
Trying to fill the time
I live in a landfill, baby
Cuz I don't wanna live in my mind

My mind is the one with the compactor
Push it down, seal it up
Cuz bad things happen when I speak up

And my self-isolation
Will drive me insane
But it's the only way I know how
To deal with the shame

Cuz I think something went wrong
With the way I was made
And we live in a cruel world
Where we throw things away

Throw me in the landfill
Where I put my time
Throw me in the landfill, baby
Cuz I don't want to live in my mind

My mind is a cavalier consumer
I think this human’s too fucked up
Can I just have another one?

But I'm stuck with the trash fire
And oh how it burns
In this dented old body
That constantly hurts

And at least I have color
And at least I have light
And at least I can warm up
This landfill tonight

All my days are landfills
All my days and nights
I live in a landfill, baby
Cuz I don't wanna live in my mind

No I don't wanna live in my mind
