So I find myself Here again Still trying to understand Why you pretened Don't know who you are Or what you think I owe But still you fight Defend the status quo Tearing stitches won't Get you anywhere, but I've seen too much and I can't find a way to care Woah x4 I wanna know where you'll be in the end Some soulless motherfucker, just struggling to make friends, 'cause No one likes to be treated this way Drown me in conjecture but I don't get a say So keep your morals and your righteous attitude Your judgments are final but your reasons are subdued
2.
Pick yourself back up now And start again It's not so easy for me Fairweather friend My love Sold me out Thin skin so Razor doubt Soul debasing Tornado chasing I know You know I don't It shows So glad you like my music My simple chords So fun until you leave me When you get bored I know it's reasonable Don't get me wrong But I'm not anti-social I just hate malls
3.
I get the feeling I'm perceived as less than pleasant Not undeserved but overwhelming all the same I stop to tear the leaves off bushes as I pass them I swear I'm harmless just not terribly urbane Unaffected and depressed rotate in bursts Still undecided as to which that I hate worse Do you value motivation or contentment? Was never one to seek out happy mediums I think your smile is the first thing I'll remember When all that I had hoped for finally drowns I tried to sing but when I think of you I stutter So I retreat to the stability I've found Timing is everything I've often heard them say Equal parts understated, painfully cliche I wish I knew you now you have all these convictions It seems you know now how to fight for things you love
4.
Obligation Forgotten Preoccupation I'm struggling It's okay, I got special needs Be underground, if you need me I wanted to call, but I was afraid I hate your guts every other day It's thoughts like these that leave me alone I'm not going outside tonight Because I don't want to pretend Over-educated minds enlighten me Not me I'm not your friend I'm not your friend I'm not your friend, your friend, your friend I'm not your friend It's thoughts like these that leave me alone Don't take it personally There is nothing wrong with you This is my farewell to everybody Everything changes, but nothing's new It's thoughts like these It's thoughts like these Leave me alone Leave me alone
5.
If I knew then, what I know now Rhetorically speaking would this all be figured out? It's too late for asking It's all just in the past I'll disappear tomorrow How about that? My self esteem is highly accident prone Sleeping on couches is where I feel least alone Collect rejection letters from shit I don't wanna do I'm a good friend, but a sad one An artist, but a bad one Do you wonder what could have been? A pointless question, but unfortunately how I think Your holdout is crashing You know it's a mistake If we all just disappear tomorrow Wouldn't that be great? Cruising for hours and I'm never coming home Drive to the reservoir, dump my cell phone Wanderlusting My brain is busted You're saving for retirement and your partner's well-adjusted
