about

"Shoebox Diorama" from The Color Bars EP. It's all about being stuck living life in a Shoebox Diorama and waiting to be rescued by an unnamed goddess of the Netherworld.

lyrics

Shoebox Diorama

Living in a shoebox diorama
With a narcoleptic dog and a blue spy camera
The TV only plays Japanimation
You know that stuff is all too much pornography

I'm a Lazy Man who never pays his taxes
I spend my mornings curled up in a book of matches
(Who's that there?) Who's that where? (That there lady)
She's my baby she's a harem queen
When she's my Blanche Dubois she brings me to her sappy southern scene
But she's only make-believe and
So I never really leave this cursed shoe-box diorama

Reading from a collection of half-written novels
Where nothing ever ends or finds resolve
Everyone I know is a fucking liar
As long as I believe my own bullshit I'm happy

I'm a stubborn ox who never pulls his own weight
And to the walls of my box I will pontificate
(Who's that with ya?) She's my sister (No she's not)
She's my hot mama son-of-a Jew
When she's my Daisy Miller I let her turn my screw
But she's only make-believe and
So I never really leave this cursed shoe-box diorama
