about

A sane, self-aware look into all the things running through my mind at the time of writing.

lyrics

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
