Why can’t we stay Committed to nothing Practicing bad faith Don’t have to say What would make you happy to be anyway? Are you enlightened in pure unknown Wrapping so tightly around your soul I could walk around Dividing every sound Every pulse clip Lip split Tooth chip Get sick But do you want the chance to be reborn? Believe in something Believe in something The way the waves come crashing on their own Like they believe in something But you’re just too dumb to Knock it off I’m inclined to let it drop Give up Make amends The only sure thing is That I will always get confused Where the land starts and where the ocean ends

Walk and talk yeah open up See through what’s overgrown Thought a lot ‘bout the way that I got To be the way I know Lifting from the pedestrian plane In my pursuit of fame Several of my closest friends Think I’ve become insane I don’t like it any more than you do If I had a choice I’d change Making the mistakes that my parents did too It’ll be this way always I’ll move far to South America Where I can be on bone But try though I will This place will never be home Filling up because You are empty as you are Channels from black-blue streams The roads history chose Your instincts toward urgency Inwardly unfold Clearly there’s not time enough Good deeds will never measure up I’ll plot a way out It’s coming to me right now Don’t act surprised That I can fly I’ll move far to South America Where I can be on bone So try though you will I will never come home

I think that you left the light on I wasn’t really expecting you But since you’re here Guess I’ll take a passing second by Wish I could have been there You’re so small no one will ever let you down Talk a lot with your eyes while you move your mouth Don’t take this too seriously Its really not that big of a deal Some people will spend a lifetime Just defending the way they feel I wish I could have my youth back Suppose I’ll pretend I can live through you Unfocused lights, two tired eyes, somebody crying What could I have to do with all this noise around me? You’re so small no one will ever let you down When you grow no one will know what you’re talking about Don’t take this too seriously Its really not that big of a deal Some people will spend a lifetime Just defending the way they feel Make it real Make it real Make it real

Oh whether or not it’s likely I’ll try to do things rightly Kiss butt even though it’s smelly I’ll do what you tell me tell me I’ll mold to all your stupid ideas Take steps towards a stupid career I’ll make it easy on myself Update program until I am someone else You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try I thought there were big ideas guiding this whole thing Ideas can get fucked I’m letting go of everything Clear case of imposter syndrome Can’t get by without getting stoned Can’t cry my moods never touched enough Can’t think I’m still buried in my old stuff You’d like to go full contact I’m still living in the abstract You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try You can’t win no matter how much you try I thought there were big ideas guiding this whole thing Ideas can get fucked I’m letting go of everything

Speak up or get lost in the endless flow The tide just can’t decide if it should come or go Skip over the bad parts I’m worth much more Won’t do a single thing I don’t deserve When rain gives way to shine I won’t be far behind I know my place If you’re from Ohio Then why didn’t you say so I can’t believe my luck I guess I’m really moving up This is it my one big break Columbus man I’m doing great At least that’s what I tell myself Tell myself Tell myself Tell myself This has become a massive lie I thought you knew Knew Knew Knew Can’t seem to get past the waving on I tried to see your way all along I lived a lifetime but not before I tried to get you Woo If you’re from Ohio Then why didn’t you say so I can’t believe my luck I guess I’m really moving up This is it my one big break Columbus man I’m doing great At least that’s what I tell myself Tell myself Tell myself Tell myself This has become a massive lie I thought you knew Can’t ever admit I was wrong Or how much I lost trying to belong Speak up or get lost in the endless flow The tide just can’t decide if it should come or go

oh i know 02:32
Not gonna lie I’m a little upset Spent another day alive without reality getting anywhere Can’t imagine a way out But you make me think baby that’s not how it has to be As simple as it seems some day it might be only you and me I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for Oh I know what I’ll do I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you at home Oh I know what I’ll do I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you Don’t be sad you’ll be back home in ten hours You haven’t had a chance to miss me yet But when you do I’ll be with you just as soon I know how attached you get I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for Oh I know what I’ll do I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you at home Oh I know what I’ll do I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you

Hey Had a chance to Show you what’s Been In its place All This time spent on Pay phones In backs of cabs Flannel Finally Too many questions just left here to stew Turns out there’s way more than I ever knew There could be and The future’s getting old The cycle’s blown I feel alone It can’t get better Now or ever What’s the weather Have you seen my phone I sit real still I track my breaths Impending death I think things through I have important work to do What else is new I think I know what I should do That I should wait for you Wait for you at home I thought it through I thought it through So I don’t speak too soon Speak too soon Speak to Everything is lost until the moment that you find it It’s hard to bear the loss of not knowing where the time went I can almost see the light Paradise is lost depending on how you define it So the dead must sleep The only place you’ll find me Here with burdens deep Faint of heart consign me
