Traveled to a couple countries
How my shadow hunts me
Funny how it's the wrong way in which the battle rubs me
I don't mean to paint myself as a prince though trust me
Still, I took the step you were scared to
But let me mention I was scared too
But the fear I felt was nothing compared to
The thought of dying old
Without a single story told
Sitting home alone in a single story home
No disrespect
Prolly find myself falling back
Until that time
Apologizing for not calling back
In fact
There's something frank about my exits
My parents don't know my number
Not a cluе what my address is
Teaching english lеssons
As a means to cash this check with
A numbness in my chest
With which I almost hit the deck with
Could've stuck around
And no doubt I could've managed
But that role seemed overplayed
So here's another act vanished
Call me escapist
With a Supertramp playlist
Eddie Vedder's ukulele
Deserter Beetle Bailey
There's a murderer who tails me
With a sickle in his grip
A pocket watch echos
Through his megaphone
Tick, tick, tick
Getting six, six, six
In my fortune cookies
Growing out my hair
'Till it dwarfs a Wookie's
We are just a cast told to act
'till we pass out in exhaustion
I'll hold that pose for the longest
CHORUS:
This is more provocative
Than father's disapproval
My lust to live
Makes the moon glow
Nightly
X2
Traveled to a couple countries
How my shadow hunts me
Funny how I couldn't handle when she said she loves me
One of the vices
As a skeptic is believing some things
Compliments like
Santa claus or the Easter bunny
No more pot like
No more God's helper
Alone with all these secrets
Dug in deeper than a
Bomb shelter
Construct a bubble
Selfish with the struggle
Cutting off communications till I'm stone age
Barney Rubble
Call it fear
These commitments seem imprisoning
Thought I found my niche
But living in it felt like giving in
Logic may be twisted
But I'm convinced that there's another way
What if we left the cave for another cave
This ain't just another day
But oftentimes
Relationships disguise it so
My power's independent like a dynamo
Prolly not sustainable
But as a soothsayer
I'm incapable
Making these mistakes and then I'll take em
To the grave below
I said goodbye
I felt complacent in my bed at night
Unappreciative of your body
Cuddled up next to mine
Didn't know how to fix it
So skipped town
With a plane ticket
Hoping to find a distance
That'll make me miss it
Haven't found it yet
And every reset is only temporary
Just another stray without a veterinary
February's distant
But it's temperature
Has leaked into my system
I'm seeking warmth
In this music as my exorcism
CHORUS x2
