Inadequate
It's the devil's advocate
Is he real or counterfeit?
Does he feel? - inanimate

Panicking
Brain scrambling
Words babbling
This "oh so maddening
Well whoops catastrophe"

There it is
One mistake can feel like six
Man I never thought regret would feel like this
Reflection makes me sick
Shatter glass with fists
There's so much to do while I'm just busy making lists
Not really checking off shit
Without a check I can't live
Hurry up I need that direct deposit real quick

I need something to sip
Don’t wanna feel like myself
And drink till I feel worse
For no reason at all

So tell me...
Is it really “you want what you can’t have”
Or “what you had and lost and just want back”?
Answer me me that
Not feeling intact
No way to react
I can't escape, wall's got my back
Claws won't retract
Harmless in fact
All this an act
Pardon the past
Always an ass

That’s me
COMPLETELY, I N A D
When did life get frightening?
My chest feels like its tightening
No yoga will enlighten me
Its time for war - no time for peace
And still I hope your smile keeps

Soooo...

Why don't you just lie to me?
I don't deserve the finer things
I'm fixing up my time machine
And slowly working out the kinks
To see how far it carries me
And hopefully can change some things
I guess we'll have to wait and see
Just know that deja vu is me

Yeah

Running in reverse with two left feet
Who placed a curse on this sack of meat?
They told me "you are what you eat"
Not "microorganisms control me"

Gut flora
Push ova
Supernova
Turned to "meet your quota"

This is me
Written on a screen
That we all touch everyday but nobody feels a thing

I'm seeing things like Wilfred
Copy me a little? That's a tidbit
Made up - that’s Quidditch
Pump fake - I fidget
Roll up, a given
I’m under some constant suspicion

(yeah) constant confliction
Do this or that?
Ruin the past by bringing it back

Seem so detached
Yeah steering off track
I’m on rainbow road
Towards the wrong way to go
But I got a blue shell that I’m dying to throw
Die and I grow
Way of dark souls
I can’t patrol
This life as a whole
There are just certain things that are out of control

How can I be lazy when I'm running out of time? &
How can you be scared of roaches yet you wanna smoke all mine?

Full of wishes, where's my Farily OddParent?
Can somebody notice me or am I transparent?
You're the queen I'm the peasant
You’re the peace I’m the weapon
We already went to space, where’s the heaven?

I've been gasping for air…
And pretending to care…
While the ending is near…
So just pull up a chair…

Yeah, time flies but pigs don’t
You talk online a lot but your lips won't
You post a lot of shit that you can't show
How many followers will it take for you to feel whole?

Always wanting, it's gluttony
I’ll take and take but won’t appreciate what’s in front of me
So Whats the difference - between what I want and what I need?
You can’t get through to me - that they are two separate things

Hey

Running in reverse with two left feet
Who placed a curse on this sack of meat?
They told me that "you are what you eat"
Not "microorganisms control me"
