Keep it down, for christ's sake it's getting old
I'm getting older than my parents ever budgeted for
I carved a promise into the back of my eyes, and it reads something like:
"I'll take a hammer to the fourth wall, I'll find a job and then a girl
and buy a trip around the world, or maybe ten or maybe buy nothing at all."
And she said,
"Give up and let it go, for god's sake it tastes like 'I told you so'.
What the fuck'd you expect in return for nothing?
You'll be the first to know, so pardon your armies, enjoy the show.
What the fuck'd you expect in return for nothing?"
Yeah I see what they say, slam another back and then it all falls away.
See all I seem to do is run away for fuck's sake, would you believe me if I said that all I want to be is anything, everything I could ever think to be?
No, hypothetically all of the possibilities could never seem to satisfy
at least not in my waking life see honestly I'd probably just rather be in dreams where
I'll take a hammer to the fourth wall, I'll find a job and then a girl
and buy a trip around the world, or maybe ten or maybe buy nothing at all.
And she said,

Slipping into a simple civilian position half the time I can't decide between expression and just ammunition, staying up to date with all the bullshit each and every single day but I will never say,
"It's a little much for you to keep me on a chain, however you spin it comes across the same way."
Cut the shit when you go to designate the blame, 'cause in accordance with my recollection you ain't a motherfucking saint.
