i can't say it's something i'm proud of
i'll anxiously round up
eleven good reasons
for you to come home
i'll even throw in baskets of flowers
to help mask the foul smell
of putrid excuses
and the shit that i talk
i didn't wanna make a fool of you (ooo-oo-ooo)
i totally get it if you don't understand
i didn't mean to make a fool of you (ooo-oo-ooo)
i swear i tried but things went south
go ahead and punch me in the mouth
granted i've followed the rules and kept my room clean
i should be able to make the right decisions
if i exclusively follow the better judgment of my
(voice crack) successful ancestors
but i thought i could think it through
when thoughts to me are just out of reach
i just want to be the me thats always talking confidently
the me that's never accidentally impulsively refusing to agree
but there's only so many songs that i can sing
when i'm tied between two brains
you didn't wanna make a fool of me (ooo-oo-ooo)
you totally get it when i don't understand
you didn't mean to make a fool of me (ooo-oo-ooo)
it's the truth
i ain't no sleuth
but i think you broke my tooth
last time you wrote a note to me
it clearly specified
that all our friends and all their dads
will never understand
how bugs with wings metamorphosize inside your stomach while
i tell you nothing matters
and i don't care if you cry

you make it sound easy
i'll be strong enough some day i'm gonna Fight your Dad
you make it sound easy
i'll still be here when you tell me there's no chance at romance
you make it sound easy
all the while you're still the one with a drink in your hand
you make it sound easy
now you party with the shitty drummer from my old band
i was there on the day of your colorful rants
i'm a fool with my weapon the first one to step in the shit you leave behind
my family's still waiting for me to recover
i'm taking the pills
they'll haunt me forever
i'm taking it easy
you're asking questions that i couldn't have anticipated
i'm taking it easy
shouldn't have to answer you but i feel obligated
i'm taking it easy
dropping wisdom on the drunken drives to taco bell
i'm taking it easy
so i'll laugh when you get busted for the drugs you sell
you can't make this easy (it's never that easy)
i left the party while i thought about the consequence
you can't make this easy (just take it easy)
you got so drunk you trashed the house and tried to steal my friend's boat
you can't make this easy (quit trying to please me)
i don't wanna know what happens when his dad gets home
you can't make this easy
you make it sound easy

I'm Ok

if i could sit down
and make a list of all the things i couldn't do
i'd just be sitting here til i turned 32
i just can't get up out of bed and i can't drop those 20 pounds
think i lost motivation because it's nowhere to be found
i've given up on education
i hate books i'm skipping class
i don't care if they drop me
hell i wouldn't even pass
but at the end of my memoirs i'd leave an afterword
there's no meaning to the things i said
so please remove them from your head
and pretend you never heard it and purge it completely from your moind
cause everything is better now
oh yeah i'm feelin fine
so don't mind me or my negativity
carry on with your life and i promise you'll feel better
don't mind me or my inability
to do what i should do because its of no concern to you
when you try to tell me that its all about perspective
i tell you wow that seems subjective
and you say yeah no shit detective
whats the point of thinking differently
if things still fall apart
if i still cant finish anything i
you're just lost in your thoughts in a dark and empty room
you could talk about this with someone
or you could try to have some fun
why should i bother when my friends condescend to me
all they ever say
is hey there pal you'll be okay
i said i'm feeling fine
so dont mind me i don't need your sympathy
i'll start first thing tomorrow so that everything gets better
don't make me your responsibility
it's up to me and no one else to make myself what i want me to be
if i would sit down and look at all the things i said i couldn't do
i'd just think man
it's not that much to do
so don't mind me or my inconsistency
cause if nobody changed how did anyone get better
don't mind me or my cool epiphany
cause it won't get through to you-hoo
until you've had the same one too

Scared, But Scared

thinking about the person i want to be
ultimately i can only compare me to
people i've seen and people i've known
and people who've changed and people who've grown
so i'll write a song like the one i just heard
and i'll filter my thoughts as i look for the words
i can bear to let go i can bear to make known
so i won't be afraid to call them my own
you're scared if you speak that they'll notice in time
there's quite little substance beyond all the rhyme
just carefully calculated forms of expression
meant to conceal and subvert your depression
as you look through your eyes at reflections no mirrors
your ego it breaks leaving only your fears
and you now see the world as you think it to be
losing the truth in subjectivity
i'm tired of the thoughts and i'm sick of the feeling
that all that i am is false and it's fleeting
i'm afraid of being vulnerable afraid of being real
afraid of confronting what i don't wanna feel
you're tired of the thoughts and you're sick of the feeling
that all you have known is false and it's fleeting
so you're scared of the world and you're scared of what's real
you're scared of your eyes and what they might reveal
