lyrics

I’m big ball of indecision
I can’t chose my kind of hypocrisy
I’m a liar and a poser
Everyone here is better than me
I’m just the loudest
But I’m just as lost as anyone else
I may hear your words
But I’ll never know what you felt
I’ve got just enough potential
To piss it all away
I am destined to disappoint you
I’ll have no profound words on my dying day
I understand less about the world
With every minute that goes by
I’ll never be as wise
As when I was a kid staring up at the sky

A self depreciating song
Doesn’t mean I’ll change a thing
I don’t know what to say
That is why I sing

Woah


If you write the word verse above some random ramblings
It suddenly becomes a song
So I picked up a guitar
And I beg people to sing along
If you put a few chords behind your internal struggle
People seem to pay attention
And maybe since I’m singin’ it
Somebody will finally listen
To my meaningless message
About what is and what could be
Get involved in my self indulgence
So I can burn out fast and die immediately
I don’t know why you’re listening to me
I don’t know any better than you
I don’t know a Goddamn thing
And fuck anyone who says they do

Even though I question myself
I’m not givin’ up on my dreams
I just can’t find any answers
That is why I scream

If you’re looking for some famous last words
The final lines in my suicide note
If you need something to write on my tombstone
Let it be this, and I quote:

Woah
