[Verse 1] Remote in my fist like a tiny king Scrolling through the static of everything Laugh track louder than my last idea Couch has a crater in the shape of my fear [Chorus] I’m brain dead Baby Certified and grinning Eyes glazed over Watch the world keep spinning News says “calm ” ticker screams “repent” Cognitive dissonance on every channel I get Yeah I’m brain dead Baby Pass the commercials Reality’s crazier than their fake rehearsals [Verse 2] Cooking show teaches me to chop my soul Then an ad for debt in a glittering bowl Cartoons sell cereal with ancient gods Crime drama sponsored by retirement fraud [Chorus] I’m brain dead Baby Certified and grinning Eyes glazed over Watch the world keep spinning News says “peace ” background shows cement Cracked with a protest they keep out of the frame they present Yeah I’m brain dead Baby Pump in the infomercials Real life’s burning hotter than their glossy circles [Bridge] Scroll the feed Change the scene Swap a war for a washing machine (hey!) Every channel Same three brands Different crisis Same clap hands Is it satire if the script is true Or is the joke just me and you? (ooh) [Chorus] I’m brain dead Baby Smiling like it’s fine While the sky outside redraws the coastline Anchor says “normal ” sirens say “repent” Cognitive dissonance humming in the vents Yeah I’m brain dead Baby Binge the rehearsals ‘Cause reality’s crazier than their bright commercials
