reasoned ambition, savvy investment plans my worst nightmare consists of soccer moms and mini vans i can feel it coming up at me sucker punched by a clock that will not stop ticking one day i'll wake up and tell you all the shit in my head well nothing was true i will find a way, i will find a way i will find my way my advice to you is never count the seconds misuse your spare time to dream of being legends this always happens, this always happens naive moments of clarity grow up or get out pick one ideals are only cute for so long fuck you, you're wrong but probably not i'll do it on my own i can feel it coming up at me sucker punched by a clock that will not stop ticking

you dress like you say you went to art school charisma, solo cup, i know you wind down, riled up, you chose to can i change your mind oh god i'm so behind i grow tired of this paradigm oh man you blew that i can't stop second-guessing even before i know i'm wrong keep up, you might run out of steam soon kick back, relax, the seam's hewn don't act like that, crash/bloom counting raindrops, clicking my heels hope the pain stops, three dollar meals wait a second, for a second can you act like it's not a big deal drag my good will, it's fucking surreal get my mind right, while you act like i'll always be this way i know come to terms with the lukewarm afterglow hesitation, so impatient it's not easy, this passage still dizzy, dissonant so impatient, so impatient self-induced tough times short on clever rhymes what's your favorite way to waste your time 'cause i pass on grass pal c'est la vie, your catchy anecdotes don't really mean a thing can i change your mind oh god i'm so behind i grow tired of this paradigm oh man you blew that i can't stop second-guessing even before i know i'm wrong

all the ways to phrase a howl reduced to distant sounds channeled through a pundit's mouth all the ways to frame a bark it's a flame or it's a spark it's not enough or it's gone too far all the headlines you can't find in living rooms and when we walk outside we are consumed surgical grab within a mass reaction left with only the means to salt the land with the sweat from our desperation as they gas-lit the bloodletted all the ugly stamped down but not out what aging hands won't dare point out those locusts ain't some thunderclouds weather to their eyes so naturalized come underground dim the lights to see the stakes are fenced in all around every hand you raise they'll break and bend your heart again oh they'll use your pleas but they can't use their broke machines

cancelled my internet deferred my student debt almost a fifth to a new used car it's easy to say it's easy when it's hard to say it's hard I looked them in the eye just to say it's fine we still have ten left after rent what's there to spend on when you're nearly spent angels that don't intervene their sympathy is a tapped oasis we'll pay for a mirage just to see something happening I guess I'll quit smoking but goddamn!
