lyrics
When it looks bad all the time, all the better
Had a lapse in thought so I grabbed a ladder
Crossed a rung and then I slip and take a fall
It’s fine, I’ll do it all again
I took a step back I never noticed it’s
Kaleidoscopic with the shifting focuses
Seems like a long ride running stop signs
Into dead ends
And I don’t know if I would do that again
It starts to get old
It starts to get old
I start to get it
Pass a lot of time not really doin anything
Could do more but it’s not where I’ve been lately
That’s alright, that’s fine, I gotta ways to go now
I know just how to do it, I’ve played this game many times before
And I’m lucky just to try
I don't know what to say, like I'm so fuckin' sick of this and
I wanna leave but I’m starting to feel a reaction
Pick a frame of mind just to help yourself get through it
Just like the last time I tried to be an optimist
And I don’t know if I would do that again
(Chorus)
You know I’m out here making sense of life
I feel the fear like a cockroach creeping up
The architecture built on sticks and mud
And it’s by design
My mind feels like a dam as it’s breaking
My mind is racing every day from thought to thought
I’m so transfixed on who I am and who I’m not
I’m rushing forward all the time and by design
My mind feels like a dam as it’s breaking
I often feel as if I made a mistake
Which makes me wonder if I’m gonna give when it breaks
But I shrug my shoulders, that’s just the way it’s gotta be
Like a little lightbulb will flash back in a way where you won’t see it again
