Ticking all off my problems off of the shopping list
They’re all out of hope but I don’t even know if I need it
Yeah, I’m, oh,
Forgot myself better go back for it
Why do I spend so much time in the supermarket? What do I get out of wandering through the aisles, buying ugly decor and kitchen tat, blankets, and cheapy candles.
Consumerism or post-pandemic mental health coping strategy? Perhaps it's both. Let's find out.
