lyrics
If I could be clever every minute
That would be great, that would be ideal
I’d kill for my only weakness
To be soft spot in the back of my heel
But as it stands I’m at the mercy
Of every little look you carelessly give
Of every tiny thing I think you think
Of the way you choose to harmlessly live
The first to fret is a nothing
Guaranteed I’m second to none
When there’s no ones, we outta be ought
but I can’t kick a feeling that weighs a thousand tons
Gimme me critique, oh, give me feedback
Particulars and unprovoked praise
I could achieve almost anything
If it weren’t for the bar’s insistence to raise
On the day I stop apologizing
There’ll be a parade, it will be in my name
With puppet blood and trombone floods
Ringing in my post-mortem fame
I’m sorry I didn’t really mean that
These death daydreams get lost in their length
The thing about feeling vulnerable
You tend to forget it can be a strength
It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
That would be great, that would be ideal
I’d kill for my only weakness
To be soft spot in the back of my heel
But as it stands I’m at the mercy
Of every little look you carelessly give
Of every tiny thing I think you think
Of the way you choose to harmlessly live
The first to fret is a nothing
Guaranteed I’m second to none
When there’s no ones, we outta be ought
but I can’t kick a feeling that weighs a thousand tons
Gimme me critique, oh, give me feedback
Particulars and unprovoked praise
I could achieve almost anything
If it weren’t for the bar’s insistence to raise
On the day I stop apologizing
There’ll be a parade, it will be in my name
With puppet blood and trombone floods
Ringing in my post-mortem fame
I’m sorry I didn’t really mean that
These death daydreams get lost in their length
The thing about feeling vulnerable
You tend to forget it can be a strength
It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
