THOUGHT SPIRAL by Rob Tanchum Lyrics

[Harmon]
Uh-oh, thought spiral!

[Davis]
Uh-oh!

[Harmon]
I've got an anxiety overload...

[Harmon]
Fuck you Tanchum
We are your thoughts
You don’t control us
We are your boss
You can't do nothin' without checkin’ with us
Spiralin' a mile-a-minute, piling up

We don't love you Tanchum
We hate your guts
You suck at everything - shut the fuck up!
We are forever so you can never have fun
Spinning your regular thoughts to negative ones
Okay now what in the hell do you think you're doing?

[Tanchum]
What?

[Harmon]
White guy joke rap - are you that stupid?
Are you clueless, or just perfectly cool
With appropriating black culture
So you can noodle with music
You fucking doofus?

[Tanchum]
No I know, that's why I don't usually do this
Does it help that I'm addressing it?

[Harmon]
It doesn't excuse it!

You’re still choosing to contribute to systematic abuses
Rooting through the black community’s roots for your amusement

[Tanchum]
Oof, that hits me right in my white fragility
I don't want to be a villain...
[Harmon]
How ’bout your writing ability?
You're an artist making art
So what's the harm in you rappin'?

[Tanchum]
But Dan Harmon said to do it -

[Harmon]
That old rich white bastard?
That’s backwards, that's not a pass
That's a disaster
This is massively problematic
You Macklemore backup!

[Tanchum]
But I'm being authentic
I'm not tryna act black or do an accent

[Harmon]
But you sort of are...

[Tanchum]
I swear it's an accident!
I'm just passionate about rap
That's all that's happening
I'm a hip-hop fan
So that's the language I'm channeling
[Harmon]
Woah! Are you about to start cryin'?

[Tanchum]
No!

[Harmon]
So emotional...

[Tanchum]
I hate you!

[Harmon]
The self-hatred's mutual bro!

Short, fat, sad sack
Dumb, ugly, ass-hat
Weak-willed, lazy little baby
Takin' mad naps

No fun, lame friends
Self-centered, staying in
Making plans then flaking
'Cuz of all the pain you're in!

[Tanchum]
Stop it, drop it
I'm a mess, I got it
I'm depressed
Don't know how to handle stress
It's chronic

I'm a bullshit person
The worst version of who I could be
Obviously I know this
We go over all this constantly

Maybe that's the reason I'm stuck
You won't get off of me
Blockin' up my chakras
With these self-fulfilling prophecies
Fogging up my goggles
Ogling my problems
Hobblin' my towers
'Fore I even build the bottom?

[Harmon]
I don't know...

Those are valid points
But back up
I'm the voice of reason
'Member chattin' 'bout the rap stuff?

Getting pretty sloppy with perspective in this track, bro
Maybe this is all the proof we need that you're an asshole!

[Tanchum]
Fuck myself, I'm a dumb-ass fuck
And I hate myself 'cuz I suck so much
Wrote this whole song wrong
Yup I fucked it up
Broke the fourth wall now
'Cuz I suck, I suck
