Skipped class 'cause I can't take the bus
Skipped lunch I didn't need it enough
Bailed on you with some stupid excuse
I'm just a growth of the thrash that's piling up in my room
Dragged myself to the nearest store
Avoided eye-contact with someone I know
Rushed back into my room as fast as I could
Should have supplies to last me for a day or two.

Brave Face Days

They were supposed to arrive at 8:15
But it's 8:30 now, so I panic
If we get to 45 I'll have to give the guy a call
So I panic
Brave face, firm grip
But this'll never be a home
So why bother
Fake smile, pay slip
But this'll never be a home
So I can't be bothered anymore
Lunchbreak in my car
alone in some parking lot
I listen to some songs
to get away of it for a while
I let them take me out of here
I let them take me home
Brave face, firm grip
But this'll never be a home
So why bother
Fake smile, pay slip
But this'll never be a home
So I can't be bothered anymore

The Way It Is

Yeah I know
You don't like me
The feeling's mutual
But here we are and you're the last trick up my sleeve
So it's happening
Just like before
You know the drill
Just a little something to keep me going
Really hoped it wouldn't have to come to this
But it's just the way it is
Just keep me
tranquillised
Long enough for me see this through, okay?
I didn't plan on it
It took me by surprise
But there's no denying
I need you right now
Really hoped it wouldn't have to come to this
But it's just the way it is

They started construction this morning
I heard them
The machinery butchered my sleep
Figure the sign will be going up there soon
Been told it'll be done in a week
Friends they get stoked and I awkwardly smile
As I wish it would go up in flames
To feel so strongly 'bout stuff most find normal
has always been a burden to me
I don't want to seem uptight anymore so I just swallow my words and try to breath through the pain again
It's all good - It's probably too late anyway
It's all good - Who even cares anyway
I don't want to seem uptight anymore so I just swallow my words and try to breath through the pain again

We have our smoothies every morning
With some granola for some kicks
What better way to make sure
You get your daily vitamine hit
Wooohooow
It'll all work out
Wooohooow
If you shoot me now
Went for a walk this morning
It really cleared my head
Really put things in perspective
So I went straight back to bed
Wooohooow
It'll all work out
Wooohooow
If you shoot me now
Wooohooow
It'll be okay
Wooohooow
Just blow out my

If it's all so fucking futile
Then why am I upset all the time

Just Paint Over It
02:54

We dwell on things like perfect properties
Two rooms, at least a garden.
Nevermind the loans
We've got a lifetime to pay off this bargain.
The urge to keep up with everyone is slowly catching up with me
We're not really planning on having any but thanks for asking
Unconditional love sounds good and all but I like sleeping
The urge to keep up with everyone will never catch up with me

So you're tired of going to work but
you can't just quit cause then what
You'd get tired of sitting at home cause
all your friends would still be stuck at work
So you're tired of going to school that
internship didn't go too well
So you're tired of just scraping by
but money's never been more tight
So tell me are you still doing research
On universal basic income
And are you getting any closer
Or are you getting pretty close to giving up

Everybody used to be a smoker
Now we just stand there in the cold
Everybody used to be a dreamer
Now we just wait, we wait for
This delivery man too hurry
Our food must be getting cold
This leach of a day to be over
I'm already done for
The night
And even for tomorrow
Is this really it
Everybody used to be a drinker
Now we're all on drugs
But at least they're prescribed
So I guess that's allright
And everybody used to say faggot
But now we all know that's wrong
Or at least most people do
Or well, you know..
I told you man, it's cold, shit
This review gonna be harsh
I'm drained but the sun's still out
I'm already done for
The night
And even for tomorrow
Is this really it
Or is it
Just some shit commercial in the middle of the episode

Left Me Worried

I'd trade places in a heartbeat
But you're up there alone
And it doesn't work like that
I feel useless at home
This place is too big for
a little man like me
So hurry and get better
I need you here
I need you here to keep me sane
You'd like me there to soothe your brain
I can't say I care for
this alone time no more
Like nothing's worth doing
when you're not around
I need you here to keep me sane
You'd like me there to soothe your brain
I think it's kinda funny how
after being together for ten weeks straight
the moment I let go of you
only half of me remains
I honestly thought that
a little break would do me good
But it just left me worried
I'd trade places in a heartbeat
But you're up there alone
