lyrics
My existence
Is pulling me in separate directions
And every single inconsiderate one of them wants all my affection.
Take me to the curb
Put me with the dirt
Worse off than I seem
Oh, inconsistent me
I’m not worthless
I’m not worth this
Come to grips and swear
I’m not alright
Against all odds I’ve stayed the same for too long
Replace the blood in my veins with coffee stains that won’t go away
Relax, get reactions
I create improper fractions
Starting with my life on top supported by my lack of action
Add the people I let down
Subtract the hope I haven’t found
Present my answers here and now
I’m just a man who learned to drown
Sometimes it feels like I’m in a marathon to save my life,
Forced to run with a single lung intact and a knife in the small of my back.
I stand barefoot in thunderstorms
Satisfied ‘cause wildlife looks exactly like my insides
(We’re the voice)
I stand barefoot in thunderstorms
(We’re defeaters)
Satisfied ‘cause wildlife looks exactly like my insides
(We’re the voice)
I stand barefoot in thunderstorms
(We’re defeaters)
Satisfied ‘cause wildlife looks exactly like my insides
We’re the voice in your head when you sleep
We’re the defeaters of your self-esteem.
