lyrics

In my dreams
there's a hundred million snakes around me
Under feet and chasing
And it's hard to breathe
There's something there inside
Parasites
Maybe a baby
And I'm so scared and angry
As I'm walking down the beach
But I’m drowning in the sea
And theres water all around me
And there's a man with a knife
Or a gun
But it’s usually a knife
And then it's spreadsheets
And chess openings
And traffic lights
In Tallahassee

But in real life snakes aren't angry
Snakes aren't anything
They are basically
Like rocks or insects
And they gotta eat
So they’re very scary
If you're a rat
I’m real sorry

And I forgot my bike on the bus again
And I’m having trouble breathing
With these traffic lights
And alcohol
And people and their animals
But snakes aren’t angry
Snakes aren’t anything
They’re basically
Did I get lost again
Sorry I don’t know where I’m going
I try to line them up
By venom and toxicity
Effectiveness of delivery
But nothing’s quite as scary
As what’s in my dreams

But I'm not angry
I am not afraid of anything
Not guns or taxes
You can use me
Maliciously
But if you're a rat
It’s better you than me
I can run real fast
I'm real sorry

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
