You should learn but all you do is scheme
Running your latest little plan by me
I would really say that I'm surprised
If I hadn’t known you for a long, long time
You can’t surprise me any more
What kind of fool do you take me for?
You seem confident in your lies
But I see right through you when i look into your eyes
When you ask questions and try to get through me
Then disappear, act like you never knew me
You act like you’re my friend
But to you I’m Just a means to an end
You’re a Liar, and it’s coming to an end
You say I should live a little every time
When you come back around, from the last thing that you tried
I don’t think you’ll ever learn that I don’t trust you
But you say you have love in your heart, so no one is above you
You don’t even look like you’re trying
You say I gave up but you keep on lying
You say that life’s a fever dream
But you are the the one that makes it seem
Like I’ll never understand you
And that it’s fucking through
Well that sounds good to me
cause I ain't here for you
You’re a Liar, your fantasies are crude
You drive me up a wall
With the absurdity of it all
It’s like you don't have a brain
Make me feel like I'm going insane
You’ve lost yourself in your own lies
Forgot everything that once was right
Now you like to whine and you like to fight
You like to hit me up at midnight
Everything you do is to help yourself
People to you are just paid help
You put yourself in a corner
And you act like I need to be your fixer
You make yourself my problem
And then act real shocked when I go and solve 'em
You’ll just keep coming back
playing your little desperate act
You’re a liar, you’re standing on my neck-

One Night

I wanna be like Humphrey Bogart
But I don't know just where to start
This world keeps picking at my brain
And ripping at my heart
I’m a loveable buffoon who would never understand
The world passes me underhand
I have no dream I have no plan
Feels like, one night
At the end of the world
Feels like I’m right
The world fucked me over
Feels like one night
At the end of the world
Feels like I’m right
And I’ll never learn
I let myself feel the scorn
Tapes are beaten and torn
Nightmares fill my head at night,
Wanna sleep, don't have the right
I make it work as best I can
Make it all hang by a thread
Feels like, one night
At the end of the world
Feels like I’m right
But at least I’m sober
Feels like one night
At the end of the world
Watch friends and family
Crash and burn
Fuck work, Fuck work
Cuz I never learn
Fuck you, Fuck it
It’s not getting better
Fuck work, fuck work
Fuck my dead end life
Cuz it’s my job and I’m going on strike

Reducing Opacity
03:51

I’ve been thinking about myself
About all the times I needed help
About all the times I lied
To me myself and I
Cause I’m just a whiny bitch
Who would want to hear this shit
No one cares, they just lie
Most can’t look me in the eye
I’m reducing my opacity
Cause I'm not who I'm s’posed to be
I fucked up my own life
I can’t fucking sleep at night
Choking on my own thoughts
Shit looks hopeful when its not
I’ll fade into the background
Serves me right cause I'm a clown
I hope you never think of me
I hope my memories die with me
I really just try too hard
too little brains and too much heart
This world isn’t built for me
Or built for my stupid dreams
All I feel is envy
For people that don’t like me
I’m reducing my opacity
Cause I'm not who I'm s’posed to be
I’m afraid of myself
I will never get help
I can’t be trusting anyone
Cause i fuck up and spill my guts
I’m the one left out to dry
Shits over, at least I tried
Reducing my opacity
Cause I'm not who im s’posed to be
People are afraid of me
And I just wanna be happy
Now my life is all fucked
If you really care then listen up
Please don’t try to save me
Please just keep my grave clean

You’re a greasy fingered charlatan
Who will not get a job and
Yet you wonder why
You can’t break through the fog
You’re a grifter and a ruffian
Who likes to pretend you’re smart and
Yet you act surprised
When they tear your act apart
You’re an actor that pretends to be
The man with the plan
But you spend your days complaining
About how you want a girlfriend
You complain instead of trying
You keep on fuckin whining
You’re Perpetually online
You’re wasting all of your time
Your only sense of of humor
Is ripping on some zoomers
You’ll seethe all day on twitter
Until you lose your mind
They don’t know any better yet
The sun for them is far from set
But you are pushing 30
Wasting away your life
You complain about other people
That they aren’t doing it right
But you should look inside yourself
And try to fix your own plight
You act like a little sycophant
Then blame others for the consequence
I would never wanna be like you but
I hope you see the light
You’re an old school keyboard warrior
Spend all your time online
Yelling at other people
To live your way or pay the price
You clamor at the thought of having
Some reliable friends
And you could still have some
If you thought before hitting send
You don’t have to be lonely,
You’re Perpetually Online

She Doesn't See Me
04:01
|

When will I ever learn
There’s nothing in life I want to earn
I just wanna live and I wanna breathe
And my own brain chases after me
In bed at night my soul will yearn
In my heart a fire burns
But this is where I give up
Life should’ve meant more than love
She don’t see me
Like I see her
Changing up
The perspective
She’s living in
Her own world
And I'm not
a part of it
What's the point in trying?
Darling ain't my love
I’ll just sit and stare
at the stars above
What do I know,
Living my life for show
I’ll never be happy with myself
Always needing someone else
She’s a beauty queen
maybe the one for me
But I’m a vote of sympathy
I'm locked in my mind,
And she’s out there roaming free
We look past
each other
I Hide my love,
we can’t see eye to eye
I think
I love her
She just wants
A shoulder to cry
There’s no denying,
No need for justifying
She’ll never see me that way
To me, love’s a losing game
Try to focus on my breathing
No one cares unless you’re screaming
Write a stupid song, sing these worthless words
The ones I’ll never say to her
Don't have the guts, don't wanna lie
Wouldn’t do nothin’ I don't wanna try
One more reason to laugh at me
I’m a worthless man with stupid dreams
She’s living
Her own life now
She’s living
in my head
Problems
Don’t fix themselves
No prospects
I’m leaning into dread
There’s no point in giving up
But I never feel like I’m enough
Love is all I want anymore
Is this all that life has in store?
