[00:01.96]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]
