lyrics

I keep getting stuck some where inbetween having nothing to say at all.
And having all the words on the tip of my tongue.
I could tell everyone that I’m more than flesh and blood.
but I’ve always been best, at being afraid.
And if we’re all just the worst of people.
What does it matter anyway?
And I’m so sorry, I just need to get some sleep.
Cause I’m tired and oh so bored.
I’m alone, but I’m not lonely.
And more often than not I should just get off and leave her alone
Get up and write songs.
And never grow old.

But right now I feel like
I’m always waiting anticipating the day that I wake up and realize that we’re all the same.
But we’re not the same. In fact your nothing like me.
And I realize that I’m as shallow and hopeless as my past has been.
As a “never was” and to them I’ll always be alone and lonely.

But I’m not lonely.
I just don’t have that much to say.
But can you blame me?
I just need a touch of Michael bay.
And I’m sure that we’ve said this before.
“we’re not gonna give up anymore.”
and I know that I’ve said this before.
“everyone misspells attention whore.”
You’re so desperate that you would believe me if I told you it wasn’t normal to be breathing.
Is it so obvious now? Is it so obvious I’m down?

And I wanted. I wanted to see things through.
but I guess, I guess I’m not good enough for you.
And why can’t I be like anyone else and just live my life like the dust on the shelf that I am.
Why is it so hard you to understand that nothing is different.

And I’m sure, I’m sure you’ve got some stories to tell.
The one’s where my friends all rot in hell.
And I know you’ve got another secret.
But please just, please just keep this
To yourself.
You know you always sound best when you reframe from saying anything.
You’re always trying way too hard to impress..
You’re all the same. You’re all the fucking same.

You’re so desperate that you believe me if I told you it wasn’t normal to be breathing.
Is it so obvious now? Is it so obvious I’m down?

I keep getting stuck somewhere in between having nothing to say a
