Crumbs in my pocket, caffeine in my spine Was I built for dawn Or the neon glow? Why's my soul buffering At 2 PM though I'm not a night owl I'm not a morning dove I'm a tired pigeon Just doing enough Flappin' through the static Of a half-charged brain Signed, still alive But... barely maintained We, the underslept, supported by a distant, judgmental llama... in order to form a slightly functional morning, declare snacks, naps, and emotional support beverages to be recognized as unflappable rights I filed complaints with the clouds above got no response, just a lack of love so now I perch and loudly decree, lower your expectations of me Got no grand purpose No elegant flight Just vibes and survival And crumbs from last night I'm not a night owl I'm not a morning dove I'm a tired pigeon Just doing enough Flappin' through the static Of a half-charged brain Signed, still alive But... barely sustained May not be my best day Still flappin’ anyway Alarm went off, I negotiated terms Rolled to the left an' ignored my concerns Coffee said "maybe", brain said "not yet" Somehow I'm functionin' against all precedent No soaring anthem No glorious display Just one tired pigeon Still flappin’ anyway [Final Chorus] I'm not a night owl I'm not a morning dove I'm a tired pigeon Just doing enough Flappin' through the static Of a half-charged brain Signed, still alive But... barely sustained May not be my best day Still flappin’ anyway
