lyrics

old friend's sold home
kept me awake last night
to be fair,
I was there

they left their water running
they left their daughter running

(no one)

no one
ever
told you
you could
change everyone
(but you knew)

no one ever told you
you could change everyone
but you knew
from the inside-outside

the same way you walk to work every morning
with your eyes closed
and try to make it back
the same way home

maybe very noble
being part of something the
point of which you cannot fathom
nor bother to try to understand your motivation

in exchange for instant gratification
and the illusion of a
righteous purpose

you couldn't figure out how to say it
it would never come out naturally
you knew you'd die eventually
but your friends didn't seem to act like it

so you went to work
and it would bug you from time to time
crawling out of your own skin in the middle of the night
something other than being everyone else

still incredibly confused as to why
anyone might try

(spinning slightly between
hyperbole north, and
hyperbole south...

..spitting
things
out..)

one was the pharmacy
you promised the daughter of a daughter
you could fashion a briefcase
out of plastic bags

if she promised to help you
then you explained,
"this is pretty much it"--
--as far as you were concerned--

not a whole lot more
to look forward to,
but at least you two could
look professional in each-others
ending eyes

and

work is,
incredibly important to me!

it's going to,
change me significantly!

for the better,
teach me to grow--
(selling bullshit to
bullshit people)

it's a good thing,
you'll figure it out
and you'll

never know any better
undoubt you'll know

anything about them
or them about you
you'll never know any better
or know anything about them
or them about you

you'll never know anything
about them
or them about you

you'll never know:

(you are entirely
full of shit
constantly)
