This toil's not what I'm made for |
| [00:06.72] |
Head's not so full anymore |
| [00:11.15] |
The load was not so hard to carry |
| [00:15.52] |
A lack thereof brought me to my knees |
| [00:17.78] |
You tested my maturity |
| [00:19.61] |
The apple takes bites out of me |
| [00:21.43] |
I want to see a fight |
| [00:23.14] |
I want to see a fight |
| [00:24.42] |
I want to fight this setting sun |
| [00:26.20] |
But it took far too many months to learn that suns can't be outdone |
| [00:30.51] |
They'll burn your skin off even the pretty ones |
| [00:33.01] |
But they're only pretty due to pollution |
| [00:36.43] |
What is beauty if what creates it is bad |
| [00:38.88] |
I'm fully here but fully sad |
| [00:40.77] |
I want to sing but just to add to all the sounds that turn monotonous before long |
| [00:49.82] |
And you're just like them |
| [00:58.56] |
The trees withstand the storms but don't assume they wouldn't like to fall |
| [01:02.52] |
I think it would be nice to fall asleep and know that I'm not all yours |
| [01:11.20] |
I'm not all yours |
| [01:20.90] |
Well there is plenty out there still to see |
| [01:33.46] |
And you were not required to stay with me |
| [01:46.16] |
And there's no other like you but that's okay because there's billions like me |
| [02:01.75] |
You were very difficult perfection but I prefer easy mediocrity |
| [02:10.88] |
|
| [02:10.91] |
I think I know more with each stage I pass through |
| [02:13.89] |
And I think I like the thought of not seeing you |
| [02:16.94] |
I'm awake in the ground the darkness soothes my eyes |
| [02:20.11] |
And I hear shovels digging and killing the mood |
| [02:23.07] |
But what more can I do |
| [02:24.92] |
I've got no more than some nights full of fun and some popular songs |
| [02:29.33] |
And a girl that's my type |
| [02:31.12] |
Plus a lot more who aren't in love with me but in love with the music I write |
| [02:36.47] |
That means something, right? |
| [02:37.84] |
Well they say it does |
| [02:38.84] |
Soon as the words leave my mouth they create a buzz |
| [02:42.23] |
Soon as the tone leaves my voice I start trying to sound like I'm an actual rapper |
| [02:47.30] |
I never claimed to be |
| [02:48.61] |
And honestly, I never promised you anything |
| [02:50.95] |
I don't do this for the sake of satisfying the fans |
| [02:54.18] |
And while it's nice to know I made the song that's making them dance |
| [02:57.05] |
I find it necessary that I say some things in advance: |
| [03:00.21] |
|
| [03:00.24] |
This started out as a vie for attention from an ex |
| [03:03.45] |
And I'm the most creative when I'm an emotional wreck |
| [03:06.35] |
Every happy song I've written ended up pretty bad |
| [03:09.45] |
And it's hard to smile when they only cheer if you're sad |
| [03:12.59] |
I never promised you a genre or a dance-able song |
| [03:15.60] |
I never promised that this one wouldn't go on for too long |
| [03:18.73] |
And I don't care if they listen |
| [03:20.38] |
They either won't or they will |
| [03:22.09] |
But I've been just talking for two minutes and you're listening still |
| [03:25.81] |
