Liner Notes
Written live on my Twitch stream (twitch.tv/meriamber) with lyric input from chat!
Lyrics
Bread is thin, I see some crust Burned to ash, blackened dust Avocado, slightly grey Not fresh, pre-smashed With lemon and hate
Salt and pepper but I see the grains They called it butter but it's margarine They whipped their feta into paste There's cracks in my soul and in my fate
Passed out on my plate Is this roadkill or brunch? Freshly cooked in the microwave And still it's overdone
The egg is poached, or so they say There is no drip, there's only pain Powdered yolk and rubber whites Side of mushrooms, out of sight One single sprout of parsley leaf Far from the herbs named in the brief My heart it bleeds, my veins run dry But not as dry as their rye
Passed out on my plate Is this roadkill or brunch? Freshly cooked in the microwave And still it's overdone
How can you expect a single slice To keep me from hunger, leave me satisfied I'm drowning in this hell And melted margarine as well The misery of your dill I'm broke Literally, I'm a millenial, this was my mortgage downpayment
Passed out on my plate Is this roadkill or brunch? Freshly cooked in the microwave And still it's overdone
Passed out on my plate Is this roadkill or brunch? Freshly cooked in the microwave And still it's overdone
Comments
This was great. That chorus was soaring! I'm not sure if this is the saddest brunch menu or avocado toast. (the line about roadkill or brunch was perfect)
Whoa, that chorus is killer and then the bridge stretches the dynamic peak and valley. If this wasn't written live I would have thought it was a food list song. Though I now read the saddest brunch comment and yeah. Well done!
