====
when we met it was obvious that there was a natural attraction
just being in close proximity sparked a dangerous reaction
The way you looked at me while you were biting those lips
This was an experiment that a researcher could not resist

If my formula's correct, I can get my current girlfriend to cheat
Then I'll be free to fully pursue this trial ethically
I did it all by the book but I can't say it was proudly
Sometimes the quest for knowledge requires ambiguity

Your flirting had transformed me into a driven scientist
In less than a week we'd already proven true my hypothesis
I won the nobel prize in romance for all this
But you were studying someone else while feeding me promises

=========================

Thinking of you makes me nauseous
There was never a chance for us
I wish I could rewind and forget your face
Cause my memory of you is hazardous waste

You leave fallout everywhere you go
Always saying yes when you should say no
Your love is has a radioactive glow

=====

we continued to see each other but things rapidly declined
when you started fooling around, giving some other people a try
you didn't realize our outcome wasn't reproducible
it's one out of a billion and I'm the single variable

you admitted to having a penpal but downplayed his impact
Then you invited him to come visit and told me that fact
You were texting me all weekend, sharing play by play
About he couldn't get it up for you, and you love me, by the way

I called you out but you just flipped it back on me
You said I was controlling you like a relationship nazi
well, my name's not werner von braun but I know a bit
Despite your pretty blue eyes you're completely full of shit

=====

You begged me not to go but not because you wanted to be with me
I stayed one more night, just to make the best of a tragedy
You said all we had was in bed, the last time we met
I think that's what you tell yourself to avoid regret

So in conclusion, the theory was proven false empirically
We see the test subject suffers from a case of NPD
The data shows that further research is a waste of time
At least the ninja turtles turned out better after the slime

extremely bassy mix, the little bluetooth speaker I used for my first listen couldn’t cope with it at all and I was all like “oh no, Grumpy Mike, what have you done?” but revisiting it on headphones and then decent speakers, it sounds really good. I think this is probably the track that has most enthusiastically embraced the beatbox challenge and the lyrics are cleverly written too.
