I can see when you’ve seen it
‘Cause of my approach
‘Cause it’s sick and it’s bold
And I’m drunk and decided
To go with the flow
Of what I thought I’d know
For the moment
And I haven’t grown
And it shows
Thought I’d open the floodgates
For no other reason
Than to retain
Control for a change
I suppose that I’m owed it
Since racing through the maze
And coming in first
Just to learn it’s all a game
And with every outcome
that ends up the same
I’ll be banging my head
against the wall here deranged
If I can pull out my hair
Why can’t I trade my face?
I’m very rarely open
Except for the times
I forget I’ve decided I’m broken
For a moment I’m joking
I’m home rum and coking
I manage to fly with these
Bricks on my shoulder
I’m terribly honest
Believe me man,
I can fuckin’ leak just like a faucet
If you get me started
Come to my apartment
And let me show you around
The little slice that I’ve been carving
If I’m not too busy starving
And with every skincell
The prospect of change
Every halfwit banquet
Every something to say
They tear up these walls
The fragments, they fall in place
I keep on trying to make it make sense
Question the quiet and blind to the mess
Leaving me tired, riled and restless
Victim amidst circumstances
