lyrics

[Chorus:]
Said you’re only gonna get your feet wet
Now you’re drowning in the deep end
Sleep in a bed made of your regrets
So you wear a smile and play pretend
Keep waitin’ for reality to seep in
But the loneliness creeps in
So you take a few pills while it sinks in
You’d do anything to not feel like this

Sylvia said “I am, I am, I am”
Followed by a special kind of sentence
The kind of words that leave you breathless
Compliment the drugs that leave you restless
Startin’ to see the madness to my methods
From the deeper parts that I’ve neglected
To the million dollar smile that I perfected
To be able to go this long undetected
If I showed you how I really felt
You’d turn and run like a bat outta hell
Now if you only knew how far I fell
You’d be proud to see I climbed out myself
Skeletons at play, an empty closet now
Know every dead end street in my hometown
If you wanna go nowhere I’ll show you how
While you take a seat, I’ll take a bow

[Chorus]

I’ll take this hit,
Fuck this chick
I’ll make it big,
Get filthy rich
Got big dreams so I hardly sleep
That’s time wasted on fenced sheep
Tried to get to the bottom of me
But I’m quicksand in theory
I’m feeling 50 different shades of real
I’m hard like a diamond but can bend like steel
Moving on a set of reinvented wheels
The distance traveled seems so surreal
Until I’m Jodorowksy in my appeal
Or Salvador Dali with a patient zeal
Maybe Arthur Rimbaud through the ordeal
While the world goes on not seeing the reveal

[Chorus]

Damage in all my deepest parts
Standards and practices of an anxious heart
When all my brainwaves want to contort
I turn dopamine production into a sport
And that’s just me, it’s what I have to do
But you don’t have to follow if that’s not you
I guess it doesn’t matter what you’ve accrued
It’s how you react when the path is skewed


[Chorus] (x2)
