I’m crustaceous dragging my shell on the sea floor
You’re on a pedestal and no one even knows what for
I’m slowly crawling my way up to the top
But all this salty pressures gonna leave me here to rot
It’s so unnecessary to introduce myself
When I don’t even know how to make a sound
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
I’ve developed a foolproof 5 year plan
If Inever eat or sleep or feel again
I stuck to out for a cool 13 days
And every other month I have a
Nervous breakdown (urgh)
(Breakdown)
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
(New workout plan bridge)
2x
Thanks to DADISMAN’s 5 year plan
I don’t even know who I am
I’m dehydrated and gained weight
Still nobody knows my name
2x
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
2x
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
BLEGH

You picked me up, from the side of the road
and asked me if I’m done yet
I raced the rain down the window
trying to think of a clever comeback
Close my eyes, picture Joste
I got the mountain in my sights
Roll my head back on the ten
I think tonights the night
I
wish I could
Understand your words but they are
just over my head I
Wish I could
Remember who it was who shared my name and
Shared your bed I
never meant to make you
Scared for me
But it’s taking over and i
Want to let go
Wake me up from my wicker throne
Im sweating out my salt and drink
Start to speak in obvious lies
But you see right through me
Close my eyes, see a two story house
I hear a 6/8 song
The irony in trying to hold on
I became obsolete
“let’s just forget”
I
wish I could
Understand your words but they are
just over my head I
Wish I could re
Member who it was who shared my name and
Shared your bed I
never meant to make you
Scared for me
But it’s taking over and i
Want to let go
I feel like I’m a shadow
Sewn to the feet of a child
Flying through the cosmos
Trying to convince you I’m fine
I feel like I’m a shadow
Going through the motions
Clinging to whatever
Puts me back in control
2x
I
wish I could
Understand your words but they are
just over my head I
Wish I could re
Member who it was who shared my name and
Shared your bed I
never meant to make you
Scared for me
But it’s taking over and i
Want to let go
I feel like I’m a shadow
Don’t let me be a shadow

Take it apart
under the can lights
investigate
where it went wrong
peel back the clothes
peel back the dead skin
cut the hair
from your eyes
just leave your singing
just leave your words
that tell me what great things
i could be
just leave your breathing
just leave your breath
let the machines
do the rest
I set alarms
to eat and sleep
Just in case
I forget
I retrain my ears
and rebuild my words
Until they sound
like mine
Just leave your strings
Just leave your mess
I got so tangled up
It unraveled us
Just leave your breathing
Just leave your breath
let my hands
try to fix this
I want this doubt
And I want this fear
I want it loaded it up and
Jettisoned
Just leave your breathing
Just leave your breath
and I’ll make the most
of it

Splinter in my eye
Obscures the warning signs
But your hair is big and
Your smile is bright
Built up my defenses
Took a lot of hard work and time
Now I’m feeling
I should let you inside
But I’m too lazy for love
And I get stressed to death
I’m too tired for fun
And my heads a mess
I’m too lazy for love
Signal in the night
Cuts across a western sky
A big red comet comes
To kiss us all goodbye
Running out of daylight
Throw your doors and windows open wide
What a waste of time
being too lazy for love
getting stressed to death
Being tired for fun
And full of regret
I’ve run out of checklists
I’ve given all my proof
You crashed into my world
Now I want you to
Burn it down
Turn my lonely to fun
Come on let’s make a mess
Of love
