Laundry Lyrics by Ellis Piper

Adjacent to Alright

2024

Like something from the dead I rise
Hollow bones and swollen eyes
My god, what did I get into last night
Exhausted, crawling up from hell
Can't slough it off, but might as well
Pretend that I'm adjacent to alright

Maybe I'll fake it till I make it
And I'll feel a little more like fine
Maybe in time

So I
Make my bed and do my laundry
And I forget the things that haunt me
If only for a while
And I try my brightest smile on for size
Scrub the sinks and do the dishes and
Sing like not a soul is listenin'
If only for a few
Because honеstly what else am I supposed to do

Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh oo-ooh ooh

Thе air is thick, the shower's warm
I bare myself unto the storm
I'm baptized in it every other day
I scrub my shoulders till they burn
This weight won't lift, when will I learn
I'll never know it any other way

Maybe I'll fake it till I make it
And I'll feel a little less insane
Maybe someday

So I
Make my bed and do my laundry
And I forget the things that haunt me
If only for a while
And I try my brightest smile on for size
Scrub the sinks and do the dishes and
Sing like not a soul is listenin'
If only for a few
Because honestly what else am I supposed to do

Now I don't recognize the creature in the mirror
But every mark's a memory, every scar's a souvenir
So I can empathize with what I'm seeing here
I'll force a smile for just a while until it seems sincere

What will become of me, well, I can only guess
But as for now it's shoulders down and face what's next
Get my steps, get my rest, under stress, nonetheless I'll do my best
It never hurts to be a little better dressed
Oh-oh

So I
Make my bed and do my laundry
And I forget the things that haunt me
And I try my brightest smile on for size
Scrub the sinks and do the dishes and
Sing like not a soul is listenin'
If only for a few
Because honestly what else am I supposed to

Do my laundry, take the cups down
There's nowhere else to go but up now
And soon I'll be just fine
And if I'm not then I can damn well try
To forget and be forgiven and
Sing like not a soul is listenin'
If only for a few
Because honestly what else am I supposed to do
