Lyrics

It's hard to listen for someone when you only insert yourself
Can't separate
How do you separate?
The point is to relate and have it relatable
But at some point it is not about you
And live, that space is okay
I know the one time it got crazy
And I almost got in two fights
You were worried I would ruin the show
But they yelled out at me
And nothing even came of it
How do I even remember that?
It was hectic
And how does it get so dark so fast?
You're hearing
And why would you jump up and down and
Try to make the situation about you?
How does it get so crazy so much, so much?
Like, to turn the ocean to this hateful, weird place
Irreparable damage all at once
You said a fucked-up mean thing to someone
And ruined it all, everything, forever
Forever
And that's cool, I mean, you did it, whatever
But you're addressing me now
Don't I have the right to defend myself?
It feels so good to defend yourself, your family
It's inalienable, words, whatever
It is maybe the best feeling ever
Play protector or self-defender successfully
And I'm sorry to you
You paid to be here and I am being paid to be here
And I'm going to do my job regardless
Of your very narrow and confused agenda
At your cost, you're being charged twice
Now what do you want?
You've invited everyone into your personal space
What should we do here?
Should we all address you as shitface?
Or should I just make arrangements to
Physically destroy you outside afterwards?
My set's pretty short and unless some close
Friends from far away are playing next
I could be ready in like five minutes, it could be great
Or we could make a date for later and I could come to your house
This is kind of temporarily my space right now
I was hired to be here
So maybe I could go to your space and get fully fucked up later on
Talk about how you talk to your roommates and parents and children
'Cause I'm sure you treat them like shit
And it's cool, I'm sure you'd really appreciate it a ton
Just like I really appreciate your
Aggressive, critical feedback right now
It's rad
Everyone else is being kind and
Practically respectful, having a nice time
But you're taking it there next level
Okay, that's it, I'm coming over
When's good?
I really think that's the only right thing to do
Just give me a range of twenty-four hours in which it's
Totally inappropriate to show up and I fully will be there
Party's at your place
Big look on your face
I showed up to your door
What are you doing here?
I just came to talk
I did not come to talk
I seem like this mellow person on the stage
Very harmless, peaceful and slim
No sense to do anything violent or hurtful
Just so positive and silly, one-sided nice
How's it going, bro?
And can I come in?
Wow, your house is lame
All of your artwork's played
Yeah, I really
Let me know if tell you why and it's just
Throw you down the stairs
You didn't think I'd do that
I throw a chair on top
Why did I do that?
'Cause I don't like your art one bit
And I get so mad
I get so mad that I don't know how to act
You're telling me to get out
I throw you down again
I guess I can do it
I just did it and honestly
I'm in debt to you for giving me something to do
This is my list of demands
Please just take it down
This is my list of demands
