Wish somebody would tell me why I do this to myself Chasing validation isn’t too good for my health Try moving to another city to change your luck Your dreams are bigger than the common man’s We’re moving in and out of industries work gets tough Like sinking teeth into a bed of sand Skip a couple meals All for what? To try to keep up with the best of them? Instagram idealism sucks I’m just trying to pay rent Sell me a stream of perfect moments Why would the internet lie? This narcissistic self-involvement Just makes me want to f****** die Are parents paying for your luxuries? You’re getting wasted while you “earn your degree” I'm feeling guilty so I’m constantly Self medicating my anxiety What’s gonna happen when the well runs dry? Social capital withers and dies? Dreams cost money And money costs dreams Sell me a stream of perfect moments Why would the internet lie? This narcissistic self involvement Just makes me want to f****** die We keep on living for the moment I keep on scrolling for the high I’d hate to live for the enjoyment Of others living through my eyes Sell me a stream of perfect moments Why would the internet lie? This narcissistic self involvement Just makes me want to f****** die Dreams cost money And money costs dreams

If we make plans to meet up and they all fall apart, I’m not complaining It’s just the way that we are Friendships doomed from the start are hard maintaining It’s not impossible To fall off the face of the earth every now and again It’s not impossible That I’m being a shit friend I’ve got excuses I make them all the time To save myself from situations, only in my mind I’m sick of expectations When none of them are even real I sabotage myself and blame unreachable ideals It’s not impossible To fall off the face of the earth every now and again It’s not impossible that I’m being a shit friend I’m dead set on leaving social etiquette I’ve wasted everybody’s time It’s on the surface of being misanthropic Just to watch it burn a lie It’s not like the feeling of irrelevance Is wasting anybody’s time It’s not impossible It’s not impossible that I’m being a shit friend (I’m dead set on leaving social etiquette I’ve wasted everybody’s time)

Common Taste 02:04
I lack imagination Being cool is hard I opt for duplication Hope it gets me far Don’t you know Don’t you know If you’re not riding the wave Just pander to the common taste You better pick somebody to emulate It’s all been done before I guess It all started at 17 Just trying to fit in the scene All my friends are gone I’m still trying to be someone Don’t you know Don’t you know If you’re not riding the wave Just pander to the common taste You better pick somebody to emulate It’s all been done before I guess You better pick somebody to emulate It’s all been done before You better pick somebody to emulate It’s all been done before I guess

Note To Self 02:52
People love their vices It’s so easy to just disconnect Just don’t turn around and confront someone Keep your thoughts to yourself and eject So why try fix me, when death can take me swiftly I’ll read your thoughts and prayers when there is nothing left Stayed in bed past twelve again Your eyes lost their spark Now your friends feel weird around you cause your humor’s gotten dark There’s no stopping you when you’ve had a few Who the hell am I even to judge? I get high every day to keep feelings at bay It’s okay, till the day that it's not So, why try fix me when death can take me swiftly? I’ll read your thoughts and prayers when there is nothing left Life is tricky Enough to keep you slipping I’ll see you on the other side of realized regret So, why try fix me when death can take me swiftly? I’ll read your thoughts and prayers when there is nothing left
