Lyrics

You know there's an old saying that goes
*ahem*
"Those who flee from thought
Are thought to be fleeing from thought itself"
(Oh yeah that's what it is! Tell em what it is!)
And as any old adage goes
It could be perceived as controversial or obtuse
(What the hell is this guy talking about?)
But in full honesty, I'm kinda just making all this shit up
Now you know!
I'm reading into anything
So many new imperfections
Tell me is this a sign?
Is this the end of everything?
I see you hunting me
Is paranoia wasting my time?
Wasted it all
Praying for a future I may never see
Long live the king that serves all his enemies
The gatekeepers of their self defined stability
As I lose the ability to fucking breathe
Now I'm falling in my mind
So take me
I've already lived my prime, now it's time to die
No room left to fantasize
I'm shaking
As the clarity now consumes misguided eyes
An old soul so withered yet so calcified inside
Pushed it
It was one hit too far
Lives are changing, decaying
And faking their way through this bullshit
It's not enough
There is no stasis where I remain
In a catatonic state
I'm circumventing
Too adapted to this broken state
Doing anything is overrated
Too scared to do a fucking thing
Drifting aimlessly sedated while thinking about nothing
I don't know what the fuck I'm doing
Jury's out, I need another minute
Never been a waste of time nor space
Never made a move worthy of my disgrace
But I know
You feel
Like I'm a punk ass bitch, I'm just damaged
Life ain't never been easy to manage
When I started it crippled at a disadvantage
Goddamn shut the fuck up
Listen Peter Pan it's been time to grow up
Ain't no fucking toys anymore that's over
Gotta give in to your new world order
Hear me
Move up off your ass and
Earn your breath
So take me
I've already lived my prime, now it's time to die
No room left to fantasize
I'm shaking
As the clarity now consumes misguided eyes
An old soul so withered yet so calcified inside
Something's always blocking my way
I've run out of things to say
Excuses escaping me
Am I lucid or daydreaming?
All I'm good for is bullshitting
I'm surprised it got me as far as I did
More so cause you all are
Too fucking stupid to see that
I ain't useful to nobody but me
Cause I'm so
Fucking clueless on what I need to be
And you all
Fucking bought it what you wanted to see
So make me
Something more than what I'm willing to be
So make me
Something more than what I'm willing to be
So make me
Something more than what I'm willing to be
So make me
Something more than what I'm willing to be
So make me
Something more than what I'm willing to be
Come on and fix me you all know better than me
Come on fix me you all know better than me
Come on and fix me you all know better than me
You're no better than me
So do your worst then
Motherfucker
