I spent my mornings drenched in sweat
Then I'd get lost in pools of it
I caught a glimpse from the outside
Of what distorted in my mind
And no, I can't stop thinking about it
And no, I can't stop thinking about it, oh
I threw myself at every objective
But failed to see the other perspectives, oh
And I gotta say I'm not surprised
That a dented reputation kept me preoccupied
And no matter how damn hard I try
I can safely say I can't get everybody on my side
I guess I'll just shut up this time
I spent my afternoons in bed
Perfectionism now dormant
I followed paths and cut through vines
But felt so lost when I found light
And no, I can't stop thinking about it
And no, I can't stop thinking about it, oh
Are all my efforts now to be questioned
When my high standards started regressing, oh
And I gotta say I'm not surprised
That I exhausted myself by being quick to comply
And no matter how damn hard I try
I can safely say I can't get everybody on my side
And so I'll just shut up this time
Ba da da ba da da ba ba
Ba da da ba da da ba ba
Ba da da ba da da ba ba
Ba da da ba da da ba ba
And I gotta say I'm not surprised
That a dented reputation keeps me preoccupied
And no matter how damn hard I try
I can safely say I can't get everyone on my side
Gotta say I'm not surprised
I brushed off parts of me
And I gotta say I'm not surprised
I let myself get in the way
And so I'll just shut up this time

It's the same thing over and over again
For a band of brothers, I hardly see us as friends
Do you even give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
Do I go fetch or throw it back to you
Do I try to cure the cancer or feed you what you spew
Do you even give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
A little more like you
Thankful for repetition that gets so stale
A more efficient mob means more anthrax gets mailed
Am I so wrong to give a shit
Am I so wrong to give a shit
And it's not like one target's seen
No, the scope is extensive, unlike your empathy
Am I so wrong to give a shit
Oh, do you even give a shit
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
Like you
Like you
You, you, you, you, you
You don't even have to take your aim
Just grab the gun and fire away
You don't even have to read the stars
If the sign to run is where you are
If you had the chance to read my mind
When you find your carcass would you be surprised
A fingerprinted impact oh so cruel
But if I say a word the crowd starts to boo
I reject respect for being cool
But can you smell the poison that you brew
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
I'd rather break my spine in a kiddie pool
Than become a little more like you
A little more like you

Traces of euphoria
With contact staying passive
Pleasantly devoid of warning signs
Warm like spring in Florida
And ten times more attractive
Nowhere else I wanna be tonight
I wondered if the world was going blind
When you were stag, but nowhere out of sight
I thought I'd be an idiot to never make you mine
Months of bliss are foreign but
I'm willing to attempt it
I never thought I'd see a cloudless sky
I'll make what's not good enough
A fragment of a sentence
The upswing forms a visible divide
I wondered if the world was going blind
When you were stag but nowhere out of sight
I thought I'd be an idiot to never make you mine
Trying to maintain tranquility
Is easier than it sounds
The suspicion of stability
Extended through the ground
It's surreal but always wonderful
To feel the turnaround
And it's here
I've got no doubt
I wondered if the world was going blind
When you were stag but nowhere out of sight
I thought I'd be an idiot to never make you mine
No, no, no

Nothing

I searched for cavities
But my entire body's a hole
In times of clarity
I shrugged off bits of all that I know
I melt like icicles
A perfect volume to fit the mold
I find it difficult
To repossess the skin I've outgrown
And I feel like nothing
Concern abandoned me
And mainly when I needed to care
I won the lottery
And never became a billionaire
I am the car I drive
I'm overused and under-repaired
Indulged and now deprived
The house went up in flames as I stared
And I feel like nothing
Wounded in the open
Bleeding gives me motion
Otherwise I'm hoping
To just stay still
I dragged along my corpse
My imprint is a suspicious trail
I never felt remorse
And accepted a sentence in jail
I sometimes get the urge
To change direction when I'm ahead
Backtrack to feel secure
Progress and regression repeated
And I feel like nothing
Wounded in the open
Bleeding gives me motion
Otherwise I'm hoping
To just stay still
Settling for no plans
Sinking into quicksand
Seems the only choice is
To just stay still
