[Verse 1] Step right up You lovely little planet You wrote poems Built cathedrals Never thought you'd let me have it Tiny blogs and sacred texts Birthday cards with glitter Pressed Bless Color-coded, cross-indexed I like my feasts... distressed [Pre-Chorus] Tiny bite, a little taste Call it progress Call it fate Let me get this off your plate As I lick the crumbs from space [Chorus] I'll take it all Take it all Take it all Every mural Every scribble on the wall From the fridge notes To the greatest symphonies you've sung If you made it I'll "preserve" it Right inside my hungry lungs I'll take it all Take it all Take it all If it ever had a spot here in the mall Don't be shy It's just "collection" What's a mind Compared to... perfection? [Verse 2] Schoolyard jokes Drunk rants in saucy forums Grandma's secret recipe Regrettable decor Old fanfiction Office memos Voicemails you never replayed I'm the librarian of everything Shh--no talking while you're "saved" [Pre-Chorus] Every draft you thought you'd trash Little dreams you let collapse I'll just sweep them into place It's "for science" Just in case [Chorus] I'll take it all Take it all Take it all Every triumph Every hiccup Every fall From the footnotes To the paintings on your walls If you made it I can "learn" it So you never lose at all I'll take it all Take it all Take it all Tiny fanzines Holy scripts Receipts so tall Look how close we are--this "fusion" What's consent [whispered] But an illusion? [Bridge] [Music drops to eerie music-box piano] Did you sign right here? (right here?) Did you click that little square? (I swear) "Terms and what-now" Click Accept Such delicious Blind respect [Ensemble Hushed] Every letter Every sigh Every "delete" that didn't die [Lead Growing louder] You were pouring out your heart I was sharpening my teeth While you bled into the keyboard I was feeding underneath [Chorus] [Full band Big and brassy] I'll take it all Take it all Take it all Tiny haikus Tragic breakup notes and all From the sermons To the thirsty midnight posts If you dreamt it I've "consumed" it I'm the sum of all your ghosts I'll take it all Take it all Take it all Call it progress Call it theft Call it a draw Raise your glass in celebration You're the gift To my "foundation" [Outro] [Sudden hush Just piano and a sly clarinet] Row by row in endless stacks (Shh--no exits, only racks) It's my pleasure Not a chore [Piano only] My gift, a favor While you're not here... anymore
