Name: Blue Syllabus
Duration: P00H02M39S
Description: Blue Syllabus is about the doldrums. it's about the blues, depression, being in a funk. it's about the female friendships and gentle daydreams that pull you through your day, your menstrual cycle, your weird libido, your romantic misadventures. it's about wanting to be old someday with your good friends and just be together while drinking the best lemonade.

Blue Syllabus is about the doldrums. it's about the blues, depression, being in a funk. it's about the female friendships and gentle daydreams that pull you through your day, your menstrual cycle, your weird libido, your romantic misadventures. it's about wanting to be old someday with your good friends and just be together while drinking the best lemonade.

lyrics

It takes much less for me to miss
the sisterhood of INFP's
but a blue syllabus sized me up
so i put nose to the stone and buy groceries

last week my cad-red pushed out of me
and fell in my bowl and fell on my sheets
i'm in luck! I'm a girl! i'm in luck with a girl
so i put nose to the stone and buy groceries

oh rise, Lazarus sex drive
is it careful restraint, or are you just lazy?
well i guess if you choose to wither or thrive
i'll take care of us both and buy groceries

and what rank bait awaits my pluck
if i slide to unlock what you write to me
i dream the obtainable patio furniture;
you, me, geraniums and jellybeans.
