about

The second single from ### ## ### ## ####

lyrics

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 keeps 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
