Ripcord

I was told to have a purpose but I simply couldn't find it

Was shown the highest mountain and told to fucking climb it

Received a line of bullshit but refused to ever buy it

I'm no saint, but I'm no fool

I've been stuffing down emotions for so long that I feel dizzy

The best thing 'bout insanity is always keeping busy

There's a method to the madness but the pilot's in a tizzy

With a dangerous lack of fuel

Strap myself to brave the tailspin

Find the horizon, check prevailing winds

Take in a deep breath, and the fall begins

Let go the ripcord, I have no parachute within

It's no secret I'm emotional, a heart upon my sleeve

It's when I cease giving a flying fuck, you might as well believe

That all the consequences add up to a monumental bill with no reprieve

It would be a giant travesty for me to claim that I

Have somehow mastered my relationships and always acted nice

If all the evidence suggests that I can be a vicious bastard

Well then "guilty" is my reply

Strap myself to brave the tailspin

Find the horizon, check prevailing winds

Take in a deep breath, and the fall begins

Let go the ripcord, I have no parachute within

If you're feeling disenfranchised by the pillars in your life

Well let me confidently state there are some rules that don't apply

When you expect to reconcile with what you're told

And what's the truth, and what's a lie

Do yourself a massive favor, arm yourself with lots of doubt when

All the powers that surround you seek to spin you roundabout

And so despite their worst intentions

We'll just persevere and figure it out

Strap myself to brave the tailspin

Find the horizon, check prevailing winds

Take in a deep breath, and the fall begins

Let go the ripcord, I have no parachute within, no
