Throwing rocks at cops won't solve all your problems
even if it feels really good
and I know I can't stay in school forever
even though I wish that I could
and they're not the same at all
but still so close it's funny
You're the one who should be here so scared and alone
in a room full of friends I'll just stare at my phone
a fake smile on my face and a drop in my soul
I'll be fine
I can only walk around the block so many times
before the awkwardness is crippling
If I sneak a drink do you think they'll see
your clique can make you stronger but will also fuck you up
just like the crutches I rely on and the substance in this cup
and their not the same at all
but still so close it's funny
there was that part where you talked to me
it didn't last too long
so I'll be sitting alone
feeling like a scumbag
in my own damn home

It seems
what is not repeated
won't make me a better man
even if I do the best I can
I'm falling forwards trying to please you
trying to do everything and see everything
and be everything and be everything
don't waste your time, they say, it can't be done
never felt quite right just hanging having fun
faces fade, I move forwards
sometimes it's hard to not look back
at all of them turning to stone
one by one we drop like flies now
do you remember how they used to sing
like they were never scared of anything
never felt quite right to me no
guess I always knew that someday soon
I would need something of my own to do

Same shit different day this is my life hey
this isn't going so well here
I think I'll give it a try
though my head feels heavy
and there's sweat in my eyes
from the last time
I do this all for you you see
because I desperately need someone to need me
living in this box can feel so alone
can't miss the irony of a never ringing telephone
with no place to call my own
this is all I get this is all I know
It's still not going so well here
don't even know why I try
seems like everyone close to me
is destined to die
before it's their time
I only wished to lend a hand
If I'm not welcome then I guess I understand
I think I've got an idea
popped it right out of your head
the only muse I've ever had
is the words of my friends
you can't have them
you must not know just who I am
because if you did you would be running
living in this box I can feel so alone
but every now and there there's a ringing telephone
living life like this who needs a stinkin' home
same shit different day this is all I know
same shit different day this is my life hey
same shit different day this is my life
Hey!

Sorry to let you know
but there's no truth in exaggeration
blowing up an issue isn't much better
than lying in the first place
sorry to let me down
but there no use in procrastination
sitting around all day
won't make tomorrow a better place
it's the
he said, she said
I don't what they said
if we can all get along
what's the fucking issue then
we can all talk big
we can all act big
if we do one too much
don't we kinda look like idiots?
sorry to let you down
but there's so much more to life than this
sitting around at parties talking shit
and cutting your hair hip
sorry to let us know
but if this gets too hot we should really go
back to room full of friendly people
all enjoying a show
I always do what I'm told
and I'm told to question everything
and never do what I'm told
and never question how we think
