Jellyfish - Laura Stevenson

I’m fucking hideous and spiteful

When I’m left to my devices

I soak my tentacles in ice baths

If you feel a draft

I’ll be home indoors, I’ll be home indoors

Because I’m wasting away my life

And gifts on being a jellyfish

Same thing I wish for every new year

'Cause I’m lazy and a loser

They don’t come true

I’m blaming everyone but myself

I’ll be home indoors, I’ll be home indoors

Because I’m wasting away my life

And gifts on being a piece of shit

Should I go shake out on the sidewalk

Or should I stay inside and shine in artificial light

If I could I would do it so much better off than try

I won’t be failing if I don’t so

I’ll sit with stingers ready

In case somebody comes

To fill my head with petty jealousy

And show me all the things I could be doing

If I were a vertebrate, but it’s comfortable

Not wondering at all if I’d have made it

Should I have stayed at home in doors

I’ll be home indoors​

Because I’m wasting away my life

And gifts on being a piece of shit

I’m being a piece of shit

You’re right I’m a jellyfish
