A re-recorded song from 2009, released onto the Car Seat Headrest Patreon in July 2025.
Lyrics by Amanda Schiano di Cola, who said of it in high school: [the title means] ‘safety barrier from the bad things’…if you always think the worse, then when something good happens you’ll think it’s really go...
It’s just a sad joke now
A sad realization of a sad situation
It’s just a sad comment
A sad compilation of sad regrets
It’s building a home in my mind
It’s building it deep so I won’t find it
It’s building it so I won’t realize
It’s building it so I won’t be in pain
It’s just a low remark
A low addition to a low and lonely house
It’s just a low note
A low smudge to our low composition
It’s building a home in my heart
It’s building it deep so I won’t rip apart it
It’s building it so I won’t cry
It’s building it so I won’t give up
It’s just a sad joke now
A sad realization of a sad situation
It’s just a sad comment
A sad compilation of sad regrets
