I Don't Keep Up

I’m the weird apple, I can’t help myself
Not the right shape to sit on the shelf
Used to write a list about what I lack
Now I’m the weird apple, the one that bites back
I’m the weird apple, I can’t help myself
Not the right shape to sit on the shelf
Used to write a list about what I lack
Now I’m the weird apple, the one that bites back
Oh, what?
I don’t fit the groove
Oh, what?
And I don’t know how to move
Oh, what?
Not welcome in this klub
Oh, what?
I Don’t Keep Up
Everyone kinda wants the same thing
But that reality just isn’t for me
Everyone’s dancing to the same beat
But I Don’t Keep Up
I Don’t Keep Up
I’m the weird apple, so far from the tree
Ain’t nobody ever known where to put me
Too pop to be heavy, too heavy to pop
Cause I’m the weird apple, don’t fit in the box
I’m the weird apple, and I can’t relate
Used to think I maybe came along too late
But now I'm giving up wishing to wind the clocks back
21st Century Return Of The Mack
Everyone kinda wants the same thing
But that reality just isn’t for me
Everyone's dancing to the same beat
But I Don’t Keep Up…
Think maybe a mutation
Made me turn out strange
I struggle to explain the way that
I Don’t Keep Up
Everyone's dancing to the same beat
But I Don’t Keep Up…
I Don’t Keep Up
Oh, what?
I don’t know the song
Oh, what?
And I’ll never sing along
Oh, what?
A stranger in this klub
Oh, what?
I Don’t Keep Up
Everyone kinda wants the same thing
But that reality just isn’t for me
Everyone's dancing to the same beat
But I Don’t Keep Up…
Think maybe a mutation
Made me turn out strange
I struggle to explain the way that
I Don’t Keep Up
Everyone's dancing to the same beat
But I Don’t Keep Up…
I Don’t Keep Up

Cure 4 Psycho
02:37

I see that the face you’re wearing is
Made of other people’s skin
Now that I’m up close I see the cracks
Where you’ve been frankensteinin’
Such a comical situation
I ain’t fakin’ this elation
Since I had the realisation -
Vindication that I’m not crazy!
You’re just a sadistic piece of shit
Somehow I just couldn’t see
But then I looked it up…
Everything makes sense!
And now I know
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho
Suddenly it seems
So damn easy just to let you go
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho
Up there on your soapbox, so damn loud
Preaching about mental health
But the only time you give a fuck
Is when it affects yourself
You know ya couldn’t find a kinder DEVIL
Gaslighter - expert level
Strike another match you might become
Architect of your own hell
Hell yeah I looked it up…
Everything makes sense!
And now I know
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho
Suddenly it seems
So damn easy just to let you go
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho
You tried to cut me down...
Told me I was alone...
Felt like a prisoner trapped inside my own home...
You tried to kill me dead...
But I won’t feed your ego...
Sidney Prescott, bitch
I’m in this for the sequel
There’s no cure for psycho...
Bet you're mad I made it out alive
Fended off your fatal blow
I'd tell you to get some help, but well
There’s no cure for psycho
Hell yeah I looked it up…
Everything makes sense
And now I know
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho
Suddenly it seems
So damn easy just to let you go
There’s no
There’s no cure for psycho

Bad Decisions
02:32

I’m a fucked up mess
Feeling angry and depressed
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions
Oops I did drugs
Again last night
My younger self
Would be mortified
‘Cause Captain Planet
Told me to say no
Oh what happened?
When did I grow into a
Fucked up mess
Feeling angry and depressed
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions
I’m in so much debt
So I’m getting off my head
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions
Shit, why did I
Get drunk again?
...And get it on
Yeah, with all my friends?
Got with my best friend...
And his roommate too...
And his roommate’s girlfriend...
Hey head, what’s wrong with you?
I’m a fucked up mess
Feeling angry and depressed
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions
I’m in so much debt
So I’m getting off my head
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions
OK, now please don’t think I’m trying to glamorise all of the shit that I despise about myself ‘cause my mental health is tenuous at best from all the pressure and the stress of other people's expectations...
I’m crushed by the weight
So I self-medicate to escape
Then I just make more mistakes
Can’t break this stupid cycle of self-hate
These are my confessions
Someday I’ll learn my lesson
These bad decisions haunt me…
But they make good stories
I’m a fucked up mess
Feeling angry and depressed
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions.
I’m in so much debt
So I’m getting off my head
I make bad decisions
I make bad decisions

You’ve tied up my mind in knots
Got ligature marks on my thoughts
Vision’s blurred, I’m flying blind
Are these flashing red lights warning signs?
Now tell me what is your childhood trauma?
I’ll tell you mine
And we can measure it up and see who’s less fine...
What is your childhood trauma?
I’ll tell you mine:
Messed up
Stressed out
Cut up
Kicked out
Chewed up
Spat out
Left the fuck out
Please pick your collision course
Kamikaze
Can’t see where we’re going
Road to ruin lies ahead
Please brace for turbulence
Any idiot could see (idiot could see)
Kamikaze
Can’t seem to escape it
Going off the grid, don’t care
This way to certain death
This Kamikaze
Kamikaze can’t see
Senses gone completely numb
What the hell have I become?
Deep down we know how this ends
No regard for consequence
So tell me what is your childhood trauma, let’s measure up
And we can figure out who’s the most fucked up
What is your goddamn problem?
I’ll tell you mine:
Struggling
Ugly
Inside
Crying
In
Depression
Everything’s fine
Please pick your collision course
Kamikaze
Can’t see where we’re going
Road to ruin lies ahead
Please brace for turbulence
Any idiot could see (idiot could see)
Kamikaze
Can’t seem to escape it
Going off the grid, don’t care
This way to certain death
This Kamikaze
Kamikaze can’t see
What is your goddamn problem?
Will King: Tell me how much time you got?
Do you wanna fucking start one?
Will King: Alright, is this what you want?
Yeah.
Will King: Violent ends
I’ve burnt away all my history
Vicious cycles
Kept me in from breaking free
And now it’s far too late
To change your mind and turn around
This plane’s coming down
Kamikaze
Can’t see where we’re going
Road to ruin lies ahead
Please brace for turbulence
Any idiot could see (Idiot could see)
Kamikaze
Can’t seem to escape it
Going off the grid, don’t care
This way to certain death
This Kamikaze
Kamikaze can’t see
This plane’s coming down

Alien

I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
If you care, for what it’s worth
I don’t know why I did those things
You should go ‘cause all my friends say that you’re no good for me
See, no one ever broke my heart so I just broke it myself...
How does that make sense?
Must be an alien race
Came here from a dark place
Tell me why...
My pieces... My pieces don’t fit like they’re supposed to
Help me do this like you
Tell me why…
Why do I… Why do I always break everything?
I still care, for what it’s worth
I don’t know why I said those things
You should go ‘cause all your friends
Say that you’re too good for me
See, someone always held my hand but I still broke it myself...
Must be an alien race
Came here from a dark place
Tell me why...
My pieces... My pieces don’t fit like they’re supposed to
Help me do this like you
Tell me why…
Why do I… Why do I always break everything?
I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
I just can’t take care of the things I love… the things I love
Must be an alien race
Came here from a dark place
Tell me why...
My pieces... My pieces don’t fit like they’re supposed to
Help me do this like you?
Tell me why…
Why do I… Why do I...
And I don’t wanna feel this
I don’t wanna exist on this way
Somebody… Somebody once said I’m only human
But if that’s the truth then...
Could I change?
Why do I… Why do I always break everything?

Your Heroes Are Bullshit
02:44
|

Your heroes are
Your heroes are
Bullshit
I tried to find a reason to get up out of bed
But I hit snooze on the bad news
I’ll just choose unconsciousness instead
So now I’m dreamin, not dealing with the flood
Goodbye gravity
Reality - you can stay the fuck away from me I’m done
Whoa!
It’s meaningless
I’m feeling less inclined to try
Give me something
I feel nothing
Which leaf are we turning over?
Your heroes are
Your heroes are
Bullshit
Your heroes are
Your heroes are
Bullshit
And if I’m the villain, I’m the worst that you’ve ever seen
I tried to kill the monster that crawled inside my brain
Asleep, awake
I can’t escape the shape it takes
Stalking me every day
So now I’m screaming, but it doesn’t sound right
My soul feels like a cigarette bowl and I have never smoked a day in my life
It’s meaningless
I’m feeling less inclined to try
Give me something
I feel nothing
Which leaf are we turning over?
Sit down
Shut up
Act like you give a fuck
Stand up
Scream loud
Hey individual,
You’re just a face in the crowd
And your heroes are
Your heroes are
Bullshit
