Deo missa Deo
Daylight come and me wan go home

I want someone to tell me what to wear in the morning.
No, I want someone to tell me what to wear every morning.

I want someone to tell me what to eat. What to like.
What to hate. What to rage about.

What to listen to. What band to like.
What to buy tickets for.

What to joke about.
What not to joke about.

I want someone to tell me what to believe in.
Who to vote for and who to love and how to...tell them.

I just think I want someone to tell me how to live my life, Father,
because so far, I think I’ve been getting it wrong.
And I know that’s why people want someone like you in their lives, because you just tell them how to do it. You just tell them what to do and what they’ll get out of the end of it,

Even though I don’t believe your bullshit and I know that scientifically nothing that I do makes any difference in the end, anyway, I’m still scared.
Why am I still scared?

So just tell me what to do.
Just fucking tell me what to do, Father. 

1. your hometown
2. two rival dating apps
3. complicated coffee order
4. astrological sign
5. college major
6. something you do when no one is watching
7. celebrity trio
