Hey, what’s up? So, I’m not really feeling it tonight. I don’t think I can go out there, in front of all those people, and what? Rap? Uhhhh…no. [chorus] I buffer in public I lag when you look at me A glitch in the system Cursor blinking internally I buffer in public I buffer in public [verse] Hey bro, how you doing, man? It's been a while. Man, life's so rad Listen, dude, I really can’t deal With anything or anyone that won’t be real It’s unhinged cringe, Creaks and squeaks like a door hinge Put some oil on that bad boy, for real But you know what? It’s whatever. I’ll just endure the endeavor On and on forever and ever and ever and ever Cut off and severed From the body politic Quasi positive, sick! I’m afraid not Turn to stone like Miss Lot Read the room, read the topology Stomach in knots When I know you are watchin me What to do is clear Avoid the severe Consequence of inaction Within the economy of interaction I can get by on diffraction I’ll just stay back in the stacks With my pack of snacks Look around to see I’m on track, to avoid attack That’s the plan, anyway that’s the goal now Social battery drainage takes its toll now I’ll stay hidden, good riddens to all of y’all, Nah, but I’ll just stay small It’s better here I swear [chorus] I buffer in public I lag when you look at me A glitch in the system Cursor blinking internally I lose my words in the chat Regardless of subject I panic and stammer and buffer in public I come undone I come undone [verse] Here’s a hypothetical scenario Kinda like a type of ethical imperio Try to wash my brain in bravado But one minute in and I’m incommunicado Hey, POV: You’re me We’re invited to a par tee Doesn’t happen much, but sometimes I do such n’ such from time to time And turn it all into rhymes Laying in bed Too much time in my head Can’t fall sleep without distraction Dividing sheep into factions TV, out of body extraction Dream in abstraction My social anxiety Forever the bane of me Of my existence I keep at a distance Push me and I will resist it Out of my comfort zone Discomfort owns A place in my dome I feel myself at home I’m better off alone [chorus] I buffer in public I lag when you look at me A glitch in the system Cursor blinking internally I buffer in public I lag when you look at me A glitch in the system Cursor blinking internally I lose my words in the chat Regardless of subject I panic and stammer and buffer in public I come undone I come undone I come undone I come undone
