Unimpressive 03:23
My energy is hard to keep / wasting it is too easy / while my bank account is currently / a little bit lower than than my self esteem You’re just wrapping me around your wrist / like I’m a broken watch dead batteries / cant stop floating without a purpose / you’re a little bit unimpressed / I’m a little unimpressive Failing everyone who I have ever loved and burning everything that I have ever touched / I swear I’m dangerous I wish I could live up / I'm In the shadow of someone I’m not / It's always in my thoughts / could you tell me how do I protect myself from all of my regrets? / I’m drunk but what did you expect? / you’re a little bit unimpressed / I’m a little unimpressive Failing everyone who I have ever loved and fucking burning everything that I have ever touched / I swear I’m dangerous I know that you’re not impressed / I know that you’re not impressed with the work and the play and the stress and the way that it all eats up my attention / I know I’m not my best when I get stretched separate directions / And I'm aware that you know that I can’t let it go and I’m not that impressive Leaving out the part where I've been barely showing up / full of bad distractions / I’ve been passing off responsibilities until tomorrow comes / I don't believe it's fair for me to carry on
2.
I can see my life on a screen / the imposter that sings / and it puts me on my knees / I’m crawling through the pixels and the dialogues / meaningless monologues / I try to stop But I can’t decide / if holding onto little things is right I’ve been holding onto the little things Wake up in a new city / all i did was close my eyes / only here for a few hours / not enough to stay the night / I’ve been thinking about the time you wanted to get away but I put myself first over my family I’ve been gone so long / you’re getting used to waking up alone / You were thinking about me last night / I was spinning like a satellite I can’t decide if holding onto little things is right / No I can't decide If I'm wrong / been holding onto little things / for so long The choice is bad / I'm so caught up in the life I have / I forgot about the one I dreamt and I can't afford the consequence / so I waste my time / every night / I've been holding onto these little things all my life I can't decide if I'm right / Been holding onto little things all my life / No I can't decide if I'm wrong / Been holding onto little things for so long
3.
Tie Me Off 03:36
Stick this in your arm / man, I swear that its ok / it's clean, its safe / no, there's nothing bad at all / release your worries and your motivation for the love, love, love Just put it in your blood / let it pump right through your heart / it isn’t very smart but its so hard / because it feels so good it hurts, hurts, hurts / but you’re falling back to earth Time to kill it off if you’re dancing like you’re making love / but you don’t believe it's true / so live a dying night because its all over when the sun comes up / and your knees are black and blue Alone, again / I’m thinking history is deadly / the way I live controls my thoughts and the way I carry out my movements / when I lose my thoughts will you tie me off? / it's not my fault / but I’m dying off So would you tie me off? Time to kill it off if you’re dancing like you’re making love / for a dying night because it's all over when the sun comes up / refilled regret / it's a sign that spells out “things are fucked” / but it sure felt like fun It’s a sting in your guts and it must come out / so you’re bruising up your broken knees again / did you think you could stop any moment that you tried? / you should ask yourself again tomorrow man You should ask yourself again It's time to kill it off if you’re dancing like you’re making love / but you don’t believe it's true / so live a dying night because its all over when the sun comes up / and your knees are black and blue It’s a sting in your guts and it must come out / so you’re bruising up your broken knees again / did you think you could stop any moment that you tried? / you should ask yourself again tomorrow man You should ask yourself again when the drugs don’t feel the same / you should ask yourself again You should ask yourself again when you’re coming down from them / you should ask yourself again tomorrow man
