i stepped out just to kill time but time is something much more divine than me so the day that i no longer have a home is the day that i’m no longer a fraud and a fake i hold my own hand like it’ll run away i’m more excited by the prospect of changing than the approaching of change the objects in the mirror are closer than they appear so slow down if you don’t wanna die i let go of my hand and it hangs limply by my side move to catch the ball just out of the nick of time i stand in the corner too afraid to go out and spend my life and instead turn what i hear other people saying into rhymes and on the way home i see the traffic lights flashing the orange hands blinking in unison saying slow down if you don’t wanna die i don’t have the guts to argue anymore why should i scream and cry because i’ve learned it’s better to shut up and work then object and ask why i think for a little longer and then i can’t stop worrying about all the lines i kinda hate the way i write because i still have to look you in the eyes all my heroes are heading out so maybe i should be heading out but i gotta take my own advice ill tell me slow down if you dont wanna die

I lost a staring contest with a model skull today Its empty eye sockets stared into mine as I heard noise from inside my brain And I figured I could find myself In the bottom of a Tim Horton’s hot chocolate cup Which is still far to sweet for bitter old me Maybe I could live in the costco fridge next summer And I’ll hide up on the shelf so the employees won’t see me I’m so sick of them but your so lovely An example of course of cold shower theory Oh happy birthday (is it your birthday) So happy birthday (is it your birthday) So happy birthday (is it your birthday) So happy birthday (is it your birthday) could you live inside my brain i’ll carry you round every day we all know snails can never step out of their shells could you live inside my brain only if you need a place to stay there’d be plenty of room if it wasn’t occupied by you

Sofa King: you left the light on when you moved away the building was asking me “what will today bring” maybe hanging out with my barely friends that i’ll probably never see again and waiting for people i know to come back from wherever but if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you from doing what you want but if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you from doing what you want you’re way cool you’re way cool and you’ve got nothing to do so you become a rockstar with your dad’s piggybank and a little bit of trust but what’s sex drugs and rock and roll dying young and dying alone i guess i’ll see you later but at this point i don’t know but if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you from doing what you want but if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you if you got no one there’s no one to stop you from doing what you want if you need to feel refreshed grab a glass of water you don’t need to be like me you don’t need to be colder I’m cross-eyed I’m tongue tied I’ve got my arms crossed I live at the bottom of the ocean not just under a rock and i’m the sofa king bored with everything i’m the sofa king bored with everything i’m just sofa king bored with everything i’m just sofa king bored with everything i’m the sofa king bored with everything i’m the sofa king bored with everything i’m the sofa king bored with everything i’m the sofa king bored with everything but i’m not a man The Theme: i’m emotionally destroyed by things that make me happy i’m a parasite dumping all my problems expecting you to have something to say everywhere i go feathers are sure to follow in the most delightful way

I'm hiding under the bleachers to take shelter from the wind It didn’t work and the wind found me anyway None of my clothes fit anymore Cause I did them the disservice of being able to grow Everyone wants a different life but no one wants to change But when I look at myself I can confirm I make an average boy but a terrible girl I look at myself and I can confirm I make an average boy but a terrible girl I’m tied down to the flagpole while the hair ties kick me in And my neighbor the judge tells me that I should die Adults are evil Kids are cruel And no matter where I go Replicas of them will trail behind But when I look at myself I can confirm Someday I’m gonna die someday you’re gonna lose that girl But when I look at myself I can confirm I make an average boy but a terrible girl I make an average boy but a terrible girl

I never said they wouldn’t kick us out But you can’t live without yourself They’re waiting for me outside with what sounds like a tape measure I’m doomed I’m doomed I’m doomed Oh people hate it when artists change I’m people I hate it when artists change Please never change for anyone Please change for me Don’t have enough words to fill this space Don’t have enough pictures on my wall I wanna scream I wanna yell I can’t even stand myself Like to keep my options open I like to keep my dumb mouth closed Everybody hates a hero Running out of expectations to subvert Falling through the floorboards of a rickety old house The best album by the worst band in the world is coming out They saying to die like a man I’ll die cowardly just because I can Why would I want to dig through the debris Of a bunch of stuff that doesn’t belong to me Or doesn’t anymore Like all the things I used to adore Don’t have enough words to fill this space Don’t have enough pictures on my wall I wanna scream I wanna yell I am so insufferable I just wanna write something original for once Before I die before I die before I die and rot 1+0 1+0 10/10 We’ve been over this but we’ll go over this again 1 2 got you Isn’t that something else 5 6 7 8 they said to just get out

if i had a clone then i’d know someone exactly like me i’d rename her maybe a name that starts with the letter g but she’ll already have been 2 steps ahead of me because we have the same ideas then we would always agree if i had a clone id start a band with myself and if i had a clone i wouldn’t need anybody else but what if i’m everyone that i don’t want to be i’d finally see myself the way that everyone else sees me and if i had a clone then it’d be two months younger ideally or maybe two months older so i can have the older sibling figure collect figurines complain about leaves in the trees i’m just making all of this up because i’m incredibly lonely if i had a clone id start a band with myself and if i had a clone i wouldn’t need anybody else but what if i’m everyone that i don’t want to be i’d finally see myself the way that everyone else sees me i just had a vision of falling backwards through the shower door nearly ripping it off of its hinges and slamming my head off the wall i cry out for my dad but he doesn’t hear me the sound of music drowns me out the door is locked and he can’t get to me but it’s too late to change it now i’ve met no man as gracious as him and i wonder why he would leave even making friends with a clone of myself wouldn’t be enough to save me do i hate myself enough to hate myself well i think i do seeing as i look at myself in the mirror and think oh my god who would want to be you if i had a clone id start a band with myself and if i had a clone i wouldn’t need anybody else but what if i’m everyone that i don’t want to be i’d finally see myself the way that everyone else sees me if i had a clone then i’d know someone exactly like me i’d rename her maybe a name that starts with the letter g but she’ll already have been 2 steps ahead of me i’m just making all of this up because i’m lonely and if i had a clone than i wouldn’t need anybody else but i can’t just talk to no one that isn’t myself and if i had a clone than other people would be useless to me and if i don’t talk to people i’d be better off honestly

I don’t want to hear about your exploits anymore I don’t wanna hear about how you are god lest I leave and slam the door “There’s no talent, we have no future! Things aren’t what it used to be” You’re not special and aside from your circle of aging fake hippies everyone agrees Rock n roll is dead and I couldn’t be happier You’re never gonna gain back that charm Your wannabe guns and roses band isn’t gonna save rock and roll Who cares who cares who cares “Rock has lost it’s balls we’re gonna bring back rock n roll” Bring back what? The dated genre where everything’s been done before? The things you criticize are more present for a reason You’re not starting a revival not starting a revolution Rock n roll is dead and I couldn’t be happier You’re never gonna gain back that charm Your wannabe led zeppelin band isn’t gonna save rock and roll Who cares who cares who cares who cares who cares If I could give advice to younger me You can’t do that for anyone Recording music in your bedroom isn’t gonna make you special And neither is elitism

Do you want me to stay Or do you want me to go home “Everything must go” that’s pretty ominous of you man How could you be so confident To put your gender in a song To be honest I’d jump around much more if I didn’t have to sing I could be a waterfall Waterfalls have nothing to worry about Nothing to think Nothing to come out of their mouths They’re a place no one dares to go And by no one I mean me There’s a thing everyone dares to say Speak up when you sing Speak up when you sing yeah Every time i try To purge disturbing thoughts from my mind It only resets over again in time Like mutilating my bones And body and mind But if I don’t feel pain of course it isnt real I could be a waterfall Waterfalls have nothing to worry about Nothing to think Nothing to come out of their mouths They’re a place no one dare’s to go And by no one I mean me There’s a place no one dare’s to go And by no one I mean me Fall into a skatepark bowl Get an x-ray without your phone Be sad about christmas day Too bad it’s coming anyway There’s a place no one dares to go And by no one I mean me There’s something everyone dares to say Speak up when you sing speak up when you sing

all my words are bad it’s all worthless and by saying anything i make it still worth less and i got something to say and i repeat it every day but i forget the words so the speech is improvised and i keep dropping cue cards with the words you’re supposed to sing along and fill in all my songs and make it easier for the machines to get along i just feel so down all the damn time it’s like mosquito bites without reason without rhyme i just feel down all the damn time and i guess it’ll be like this ‘till the end of the line i’m bugging out i feel like a shadow all they can see is a tall dark figure standing behind the everything i think or say they keep asking me for more why do i keep putting clothes i hate back in my drawers i’m not scared of you i’m not scared of you there’s nothing to be scared of at all why would i be scared of you i’m not scared of you why would i be scared of you i swear to god there’s no reason to be scared i just feel so down all the damn time it’s like mosquito bites without reason without rhyme i just feel down all the damn time and i guess it’ll be like this ‘till the end of the line i’m bugging out I used to feel like background noise but now i’m like a backyard show slightly more noticeable but still more alone it could be someone’s birthday it could be spring break but if you’re have a party get a reason to celebrate and where is that it’s like mosquito bites without reason without rhyme i just feel down all the damn time and i guess it’ll be like this ‘till the end of the line i’m bugging out gimme gimme never gets you anything but the people love you most when you have something to hold gimme gimme gimme never gets you anything but if you’re waiting for something what are you waiting for
