Fault

We rob the banks
Because that is where all the money's at
I'm not wasting all my time
I told you once before, don't wanna say it again
I don't wanna say it again
Why would you apply the brakes
When you can just take the wheel instead?
I’m not wasting all my time
I told you once before, I'll only say it one more time
This is all your fault
And I can't believe it's you of all people
Now I've wasted all my precious time
And it's all your fault
This is all your fault

Debbie Downer
02:53

Years later, you're waiting, still, for things to calm down
And you learn that someone's always calling the shots
And everyone is working just to please you
And city sadness defines your worth
Work harder, not smarter
Debbie Downer
Word salad, soon or later
No abstraction
You weaponize words just to further your cause
Left problems right here
You can stand in the way, slow things down, or choose to adapt
Not even sure where your head's at
Work harder, not smarter
Debbie Downer
Word salad, soon or later
Course correction
And I know the timing was never right
But I compiled your burdens and carried them home
And what do I get? What do I get?
Silence, radio silence

Die Hard
01:52
|

I haven't got a single pot to piss in
The life you wanted, is the life I'm livin'
Call it a misstep, a grave semantic
This time, I'm turning over a new leaf
The same excuses
The same excuses
The same excuses
The same excuses
I am trying, I forgot, I need more time
Old habits die hard
It's the way I'm built, full of fear and full of guilt
All my ideas, someone else said first
The same excuses
The same excuses
The same excuses
The same excuses
Understood, ok
You've been on the rocks for about, oh, a while now
So
I'll make excuses
I'll make excuses
I'll make excuses from now on

Imagine
01:34

Imagine a baby that just doesn't wanna go down for a nap at all
Imagine a kid falling off a bike, coming home with two scraped knees
You let them cry it out
Imagine a teen with a heartache, sobbing over that one true love
Imagine that kid too scared about their new life, new job, new school, new friends
You let them cry it out
Now imagine that kid, that teen, that baby, living out here in the adult world, crying over what amounts to the same damn thing
You have to hear them out

Outside Looking In
04:14
|

You got nothing to lose, and need something to prove
You're on the outside looking in
You got real sharp teeth, in a real big mouth
You're on the outside looking in
You're waiting to see how the wind blows
So you can take it, clean, right out of our sails
With your beady eyes, and your crooked smile
We're throwing a party, you're calling the cops
You got the whitest teeth, and hope to die in your sleep
You're on the outside looking in
You're waiting to see how the wind blows
So you can take it, clean, right out of our sails
You're on the outside looking in
You're facing the fear by owning its space
Like a hunter's dog sniffing 'round in the bush
You kick the bird in the air so they can take a shot
You're on the outside
