Can you rid me of
All the unpleasantries I bring upon myself
Positively reinforce the negatives that come outta my mouth
Can I join you on a ride
I heard the grass is greener on the other side of this fence
Run away with me to a place without consequence
Chaos rules everything around me
It’s my cream, but I really don’t have any money
Amateurs like you and me
We stick together like gum to a tree
I’ll follow my dreams if it means I don’t have to do anything
I oughta take the time
To motivate myself to do the things I like
Work on my happiness
And stop wasting opportunities left and right
Cuz when my world stops burning, I won’t do no learning
I’ll sit thinking about what could have been
But see I’ve got my cake, and I’m gonna eat it too
Eat it up, eat it now, eat it right in front of you
Chaos rules everything around me
It’s my cream, but I really don’t have any money
Amateurs like you and me
We stick together like gum to a tree
I’ll follow my dreams if it means I don’t have to do anything
I guess that I’ll have to use
My imagination
To distract me from
Sticky situations
I’m outta work and feeling down
I should turn that frown upside down
My emotions, out of control
I got too used to saying no
Play some bass
Twitchy face
All my friends are far away
Lazing off
All the time
Think I needta exercise
Over here, over there
You can’t take me anywhere
Wanna make a difference soon
Maybe I should leave my room
Chaos rules everything around me
It’s my cream, but I really don’t have any money
Amateurs like you and me
We stick together like gum to a tree
I’ll follow my dreams if it means I don’t have to do anything

Crane

This crane ain’t coming down
For as long as I am here
Looking across my town
I’ll tell you that I don’t wanna come down
Yeah these heels won’t fail me now
Way up in the sky
Of this early morning sunrise
Commuters pass me by
But don’t you look up here
Do you mind?
Yeah I said do you mind?
And maybe I’m not up to no good
And maybe I don’t do as I should
But these birds keep me company
At a view tough to beat
Chilly air is fine
As I sit calm and satisfied
Trespasser’s delight
The rescue team won’t see my inner fright
Guess I should’ve thought about it, right
Catching the city’s eye
The newscast says that I’m alright
What’s up inside my mind
Fifteen minutes are done, but that’s alright
Well, at least I didn’t die
Now get me
The hell
Down from here
And maybe I’m not up to no good
And maybe I don’t do as I should
But these birds keep me company
At a view tough to beat
Well I saw you take a subway train
And go to work another day
At least there are no drops of rain
While I stay seated on this crane
And maybe I’m not up to no good
And maybe I don’t do as I should
But these birds keep me company
At a view tough to beat

Hey Oddboy
They treat you like an idol
Invite me into your club
So I can feel worthwhile
Say that you're the thriller
You sound more vanilla
You got a lotta wisdom
Can you show me how
Your golden days are nearly over
So let's all go home now
So when you say there's only one way
To be enlightened here on this day
Take a good look right at yourself first
Your phony face comes off a lot worse
You play your victims you make them real proud
Your false prophecies have earned you a crown
I think your echo chamber's a little too loud
Your complex mind isn't something to doubt
But whatcha gonna do when your fire is out
But oh oh Oddboy you should know by now
Hey Oddboy
Didn't mean to cramp your style
Can you tell me would it kill you just to crack a smile
Mister know it all who's holding every key
Sell me all your thoughts for three hundred a piece
I work for the enemy yeah yeah
I work for me
So when you say there's only one way
To be enlightened here on this day
Take a good look right at yourself first
Your phony face comes off a lot worse
You play your victims you make them real proud
Your false prophecies have earned you a crown
I think your echo chamber's a little too loud
Your complex mind isn't something to doubt
But whatcha gonna do when your fire is out
But oh oh Oddboy you should know by now

Living the sweet life
Sleep all day, play all night
On your watch, never mine
Or else we’ll hear you whine
Roll around in the dirt
Just wanna chase the birds
Gotta get what you want
Or else you’ll act real hurt
Scratching your back just to keep you near
Screaming at me til your path is clear
Bother your sisters til they ring their alarm
Just a handsome face with mischievous charm
But you’re so spoiled
All day long you cry in your tuxedo
Waiting for somebody to let you out
Luxury is what you take for granted
You’ve got it made but you always just wanna pout
The morning sun comes up
Attention’s what you crave
It’s all about you now
Don’t matter if we’re late
And once the night has come
You’ll run around for fun
Up making all the noise
Role reversal makes for a cranky boy
Scratching your back just to keep you near
Screaming at me til your path is clear
Bother your sisters til they ring their alarm
Just a handsome face with mischievous charm
But you’re so spoiled
All day long you cry in your tuxedo
Waiting for somebody to let you out
Luxury is what you take for granted
You’ve got it made but you always just wanna pout
Living to be served
It’s what you deserve
Don’t know just how good you’ve got it
It’s amazing what you can get away with
When you’re adored
All day long you cry in your tuxedo
Waiting for somebody to let you out
Luxury is what you take for granted
You’ve got it made but you always just wanna pout
All day long you cry in your tuxedo
Waiting for somebody to let you out
Luxury is what you take for granted
You’ve got it made but you always just wanna pout
All day long
