God isn’t out to getcha
He’s out to let you down
Flying like a plane headed for the ground
Isn’t very different when you’re not around
Listen for the sound you’ll hear it
That’s a door closing
That’s a missed morning
Said I’m a new person
I just look the same
I just act the same
I’m a lawn decoration
Im a household name in my own home
Im a mental patient
Someone will come along
Till then I’m all alone
Getting good at waiting
By the telephone
Maybe Im a hack and a fraud
But Im a three legged dog
You can’t help but love me
You can’t help but try to fix the things that make me ugly
You can’t live with a robot who’s a little rusty
I need an oil can
I need a yellow brick road and a girl with a sun tan
I don’t want a dorothy
I want a wicked witch
A bitch who’s thick
A girl who makes me thirsty
Waking up with headaches
Try but I can’t shake it
Gonna be a great day
Fake it till I make it
Waking up with headaches
Try but I can’t shake it
Gonna be a great day
Fake it till I make it
Tough not to feel like a burden
When you’re certain
Its your fault
On my knees
Begging please
Algorithm do your part
Trash from a gas station
Like the money’s mine
Head down and mouth shut
Like I’m doing time
You won’t ever see my eyes
I’ll fake a smile
I’ll show some teeth
I’ll make believe
I’ll make you see
I ain’t the one
Girl it ain’t me
We’d have no fun
I’m constantly
Awake/Asleep
Or in between
A state of mind
That bothers me
I’d say it’s best to leave me be

I'm scared of losing everything I got
I'm really worried cause it ain't a lot
I'm really worried cause I ain't too smart
You're worried you'll just be an afterthought
You're worried you'll lose everything you got
You're really scared because it ain't a lot
You're rarely scared because you ain't too smart
I'm worried I'll just be an afterthought.
Everyday you're thinking
I should quit or take a break
You've got dollars sitting lonely screaming get me some roommates
You've got problems staying lowkey if it means you lose the praise
If you wanted to be honest then you'd lose the games you play
I've got habit forming patterns in my life I'd like to change
I've got warnings written boldly in red font across my face
Not trying to get in your good grace
I'll take a joke over connection
You're trying to lose the games you play
I'll just create a work of fiction
You're trying to run to win the race
I'm trying to walk like an Egyptian
I think I'm more Norman Bates
My minds been slipping
I've been giving all the thought I'm supposed to give
to all the things that I've been given
To the branches on the tree that seem so strong while mine is weak
Still I've been planting all the seeds I wanna see grow into flowers
I've been waiting for the sun to come
And give me light to grow
Boy it's been looking pretty scary for a while outside
Feel like a wanted man
A payment plan dead or alive
I guess you always got some debts to pay
Can't wait em out or runaway
I'll stay and play a game
Holding my breath
Breathe water
I met a pretty girl that smokes cigarettes
Man, who'd have guessed it might've ended up like this?
Well someone said but I forget
I'm chasing thoughts around my head
I'm feeling dead
My hand is red from unintentional distress: falling hard on cracked cement
Now she's coming down the street and I forget the alphabet
And I feel like an idiot
I'll keep my eyes locked on my feet
and wonder why she's here with me
Let the opera singer sing and let the fireworks compete
Boy it all sounds good to me
Boy it's been looking pretty scary for a while outside
Feel like a wanted man
A payment plan dead or alive
I guess you always got some debts to pay
Can't wait em out or runaway
I'll stay and play a game
Holding my breath
Breathe water
I have moments of clarity
They're rare to me
Fill my walls up with jealousy
And everything I wanna be
I have moments of clarity
They're rare to me
Build my walls up with jealousy
And everything I wanna be
You better learn your limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
You better learn your limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
I gotta learn my limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
I gotta learn my limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming

Keeping everyone at distance
Keep it clean like I’m contagious
Just looking out for your best interest
I could really test your patience
And I don’t wanna keep you waiting
If you’re meant for greatness
There’s a sunny day
With ostentatious memories to be made
There’s a funny place
Where aimless youth are promised to be saved
There’s an altered state
Where things are great and you remain unfazed
Another misadjusted man of mystery
Off the scent
Another victory
Falling down a slope so slippery
Pants around my ankles
Won’t go to parties
Talking's torture
Posted up
Up in the corner
Keeping thoughts of fame and fortune
In the corner of my
mind
I do it all the time
I can see
Don't count me out
Without a doubt
I can’t believe
But for some reason
Thinking everything is
On my side
Keep your dreams safe in the backseat
Benched on the back burner
Over low heat with both feet
Planted like a tree’s what you told me
Candid guarantees like I’m poultry
“You know they’re gonna eat you so slowly”
Wishing I could please all the voices
Telling me to leave or that I’m chosen
Which one to believe? Man, I’m frozen
Rolling up my sleeves like a trojan
Hiding like the Greeks I’m unnoticed
Can’t you see that we’re only hoping?
For the lottery ticket that we’ve been holding
To come through
And get us in a bracket with tycoons
Rollercoaster gods turning sidewalks to lagoons
To hurt you.
I can see
Dont count me out
Without a doubt
I can’t believe
But for some reason
Thinking everything is
On my side

Lying around waiting for flowers to grow
Good things will come to those who wait
Is what I've been told
1988 in the hospital
Mom and Dad wait
Two Sisters I'll never know
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
You're just too full of yourself
Boy you been thinking too much
In a cemetery I see I got a green thumb
Peeking over the fence
You're eyeing up my problems
People would die to have mine
Lord, I'm including myself
Always trying to find a way out of
Everything that you love
You'll shrug off your shoulders
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow
When they plant me (I know)
When they plant me (I know)
Some flowers gonna grow

things you thought

You never know just when you're supposed to shake a hand and leave
I can see your silence and you're hiding your priorities
Tried and tired
Try aiming higher
A one night stand
A quick goodbye
An empty hand
A magnifier
Of all those things you thought that you'd forgot
I guess not
If you're not bleeding you're not thinking
Everything's okay
You got no worries in no hurry to become homemade
You're getting tired of the lying
Always trying to hide your smile behind a painted face
Apocalypses of forgiveness
With this sycophant
This silly man
This stowaway
Tried and tired
Try aiming higher
A one night stand
A quick goodbye
An empty hand
A magnifier
Of all those things you thought that you'd forgot
I guess not
But I will hold my head up
I will hold my head up
I will hold my head up
I will hold my head up
I will hold my head up
I will hold my head up

check your optimism

Here's another song that doesn't matter
Something to play amongst the chatter
In the background expectations for quality are much lower
Heard you didn't like the lyrics
Truth be told it's nice to hear it
Got no one left to impress
So stupid stuff isn't off limits
Glad to play to some more crickets
Guess that's just the family business
You navigate your way through trepidatious states of populated chickens
Thinking, "this isn't really it, is it?"
Begging the farmer for forgiveness
Oh I'm not who you were missing?
Oh you thought that I'd be different?
And if it's you that wants a promise
That life will hand you some good lemons
To make your stand and make a profit
Better check your optimism
Better check those empty pockets
Trust in your postmodernism
Study your map wrote in gossip
And me like i've been who you're missing
Never heard the voice of a generation so monotonous
I'm trying to be famous and I'm trying to be the opposite
I'm trying to stay nameless so that I can remain honest but
Flowers gonna grow, maybe I should be a botanist
Free as a bird singing
You got me under your thumb
I got my world spinning
So you can do what you want
Free as a flea jumping
I got my eyes on the top
I got my world turning
I'm gonna do what I want
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Do what you gotta do for another hit
Take a drag from a stranger's cigarette
Big tobacco's feeling outgrown and they could use your support
Cause you're not scared of dying young
You're gonna do just what you want
You heard ambition is contradicting to everything you think is fun
You're punching in a clock
Cause you ain't no boxer
Cumming in a sock
Cause you ain't no father
Story of your life
But you ain't the author
Don't know what to do
Better cut your losses
Free as a bird singing
You got me under your thumb
I got my world spinning
So you can do what you want
Free as a flea jumping
I got my eyes on the top
I got my world turning
I'm gonna do what I want

Snap out of it
You got your wings clipped
You’re like a swing set
Always coming and going
Frequently feel your lowest
Watch the list of people you’re ignoring only keep growing
Make a fist to show the evil forces what they’re in store for
Still they’ll win and leave you broken beaten knocking at deaths door
Begging em to stop
You’re having trouble breathing
Wheezing
Moving like sloth
Lotta reasons to believe in dreaming
Lotta prayers stuck to the ceiling
That should be paying rent
Check your compass kid
You’re trailing off a bit
Check your optimism
Locking up your common sense
The way you’re headed you won’t need em
You’ll have no one left
Guess its for the best
Thought you were stronger than needing someone to belong to
Thought you could keep it up and keep in touch
Thought you’d be keeping all your promises
Guess you’re too busy having all that fun
Guess this is everything you want
Legs crossed and rain drops
Back at your old spot
Stuck like a blood clot
Up on the hilltop
Where everybody looks small
Everybody looks small
Guess you don’t have the confidence to hold up conversation with anyone
Let alone a metronome
Guess you don’t have the confidence to hold up conversation with anyone
Let alone a metronome
I tried my best
You said
I know that can’t be all you have to show
My hopes are dead
At rest
My dreams are gone my head is hollow
I know I won’t see you again
I know I won’t see you again
I know I won’t see you again
I know I won’t see you again
I know I won’t see you again
I know I won’t see you again
I know I misspoke
But it was true
It feels so different here
Without you
I know I misspoke
But it was true
It feels so different here
Without you
You gotta pay for peace of mind
You better pray you’ll be just fine
You gotta pay for peace of mind
You better pray you’ll be just fine
You gotta pay for peace of mind
You better pray you’ll be just fine
