lyrics

for levi
--------------

I used to haunt my friends' homes.
I used to live like a ghost.
But I'm a grown-up now,
I'm too old for that stuff.

I used to taste like drugs.
I used to watch the sunrise.
But I don't much now,
It hurts my eyes.

I saw myself
As a child, in a dream
He seemed
Disappointed in me
But mostly
Concerned
With the bags
Living under my eyes.

I used to feel so free.
I used to seem so happy.
Now my voice just cracks,
In some pathetic excuse for singing.

Days sprint by like runners.
Love will fade away.
You're a grown-up now,
So that shouldn't be a problem.

You're nostalgic
For the days
That haven't come,
Yet.
You're smoking
All the time.
My dad used to
Tell me,
"Life's a sandwich
Made of shit -
We all gotta
Take a bite."

You're a plastic ship
In a bathtub full of blood.
You're a chocolate chip
In a burning pancake.
This is a factory farm.
Take bites of what's in front of you.

I can leave the house
I can leave the house
I can take a shower
I can't even wait
A half-hour
NO TIME
LIKE NOW
I can change
I know how
I am frantically
Running back home
Now, to tell you, but, I
Haven't eaten, and
I get so tired, I
Run out of impulse
To try to explain it
To try to explain it

It's not hard to control me
I am a slave to this body.

I could be an android,
Robotic little dude
Shitting out my outputs,
Eating all my food.

Or I could run away,
Finally giving merit to
The things I say.
We're all hypocrites,
Accept that and
Move on.
We're all grown-ups
Here, I can
Say what I want.

I am a boat
I'll sail it and grow old
But never quite that old
Gotta leave room
To grow
I want to be happy
I want to be in your company
It hurts to explain it
I don't expect you
To understand

To understand
