lyrics

I don’t want to review anything that we do
Because as soon as we speak
I lose the Tao that makes me dance and sing and smile
Please understand me
I don't know why I need it so badly
But damn it, I do
Damn it, I do
Don't ask me why
I like to bite off more than I can chew
While I’m licking my open wounds
I need to choke so I can learn to swallow
Don't ask me why
I like to set things on fire
I’m gonna fix it when it's not broken
Change it when it’s flawless
These are the things I love
That make you so uneasy
But,
It's how I get my kicks in my boring world
It’s how I get my kicks in my boring world
It’s how I get my kicks in my boring world
And that's not up to me
I was born to drown in the deep
But they keep dragging me back to the surface
I’m a pawn in the constant narration
Stuck in their story

On a boat in the storm above
A dreaming flower fresh eroded from the garden

But I want to swim with the sharks
Want to swim with the minnows
Swim until I can't swim back
Swim to the edge of my wits
Caught in the current

It's not about you
It's a war on attachment
Objects don't really matter
Moments don't really matter
They are just a reminder that nothing is sacred
Except for the way we narrate our stories
Every claim I make is just a toy
And that’s not up to me
