lyrics

(mm)

Three unread and I know exactly who they're from
I know roughly what they say and I want to read them
I have wanted to read them for eleven days
(eleven days)
That is somehow not the same as being able to

It gets heavier hourly (hourly)
Which is a physics I did not consent to

Three unread
(unread, unread)
Sitting on my chest like a small polite animal
Three unread
The longer I wait the worse the reply gets

By day four an apology was required
By day eight the apology needed an explanation
By now I'd need a whole document with headings
(with headings)
So I'll wait, and the document gets longer, and I wait

I opened them. Just now. While writing this.
They said "no rush".
Two words. Eleven days. Cool. Great. Perfect.
(BASS RETURNS)

Three unread
(unread, unread)
Sitting on my chest like a small polite animal
Three unread
The longer I wait the worse the reply gets

(no rush...)
