lyrics

I alienated myself into a shell of someone else
Don’t ask how I fell, just find out for yourself
One day I’ll bottom out and be killed by a crowd
Who finally figured me out and didn’t like what I’m about
So for now I’ll write a song that’ll make you scream along
About where it all went wrong and why I’ll never belong
I’m constantly in doubt about myself and everyone else
Promise to put myself down before I try to sell out

This cancer is cathartic, I’m moonlighting as an artist
But really this is violence to alleviate the silence
Every road’s an escape route straight from the addict’s mouth
Buried myself and sprout - a seed that grew in a drought
Don’t even get me started, I’m not meant for the halfhearted
An acquired taste at best due to the panic in my chest
Manic with my compulsions, symptoms of my neurosis
You wanted to peer into my head, what'd you think you’d get?

I was drowning in a deep sea of denial, the end result of being a middle child
Sobriety came and stayed for awhile but it didn’t tame the thing that keeps me wild
Till Ayahuasca set my spirit free and unlinked the demons chained to me
LSD taught me to let life be and peyote made me crave the finer things
Now marijuana smoke follows me, suburban nightmares dreaming bigger schemes
said the jetset life wasn’t meant for me till I turned the industry into a murder scene
That’s what you get when you fuck with the fiercest. Take on the bull enough times, you’ll be fearless.
I’ll never ever apologize for my weirdness. If I was like you, you wouldn’t hear this.

“You’re more slept on than a mattress,” she said. That’s why girls like you keep taking me to bed.
Honest to a fault about the monsters in my head, keep you around if you silence them for a second.
If what you do doesn’t display your ethics, then what the fuck are you doing to engrain your methods?
You are only as shallow as your message and you are only as present as your presence
They said to kick rocks so I went and moved mountains until my followers went from twelve to thousands
And the traffic on the browser went from zero to countless and I became a viral epidemic of musical prowess
But I’ll never be a GOAT cuz I was born a baphomet with “try everything twice” tatted on my chest
And a tendency to take one and say fuck the rest cuz once I’ve got a diamond, I don’t need anything less
