leave me be 03:10
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

contagious 04:12
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

flowers 02:49
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

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

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

a little bit 05:14
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
