…that’s the brutal truth being uncovered in that song: It’s not all about passion and fire.

Automate Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One more drink 'til I can feel you
And when the party's empty, we can slow dance in my room
Tried life without you, but you in that green sweater
I could die if I had the guts, puked it up, drank too much
Feed the flame forever
[Chorus]
Automate me and I'll never find a love like this
I'm free but who was I to ever want like this?
You got so mean, pouring out the Jack and consequence
When you're with me, who was I to ever want like this?
[Verse 2]
Blank lips, dark room, I pretend it's you
But she kissed like she meant it
It's like I'm living, and I'm past her
And it's thirteen days after but it still feels like I'm cheating
One more drink 'til I can lay beside you
Though all at once is better
[Chorus]
Automate me and I'll never find a love like this
I'm free but who was I to ever want like this?
You got so mean, pouring out the Jack and consequence
When you're with me, who was I to ever want like this?
[Outro]
I guess I couldn't keep her fire out
I guess I couldn't keep her fire out
And I'm like your dog, I'm like your dog
Only I know you'll be sweet if I stay
And it's not enough, conditional love
When I'm old and rotten, you'll be on your way
I guess I couldn't keep her fire out
I guess I couldn't keep her fire out
And childishly I'm lonely when it's time to clear out the party
Automate me

Lindsey Jordan:
I think that there comes a time when—through experience and through fucking up and learning about my needs and myself—love becomes less of a fantasy and less of a game. There’s so much that needs to exist for love to be healthy, and once you realise that relationships are more than...
