Speaking in hyperbole You don't make too much sense to me You drive me up the wall you see As I break The legs to my own chicken fight The jig is up who's betting on me now They call me petty change And I don't know if I can change Speaking of hyperbole Your eyes have caused calamity You crash into my heart and knees And I fell Ten points down on the leaderboard I'm crashing like a meteor My similes and metaphors They don't work (They don't work) First base, Second place, Thirty dollars poor Writing out your name on the bathroom door Smashing through my windows and my walls Am I just far too dramatic Stressed out and in a panic Still I know I'll end up in First place, Second place Third place, Four First place, Second place Third place, Four

Brains 01:58
My brains are too brawn For my t-shirt and jeans My phone and my keys Have been missing for weeks My thank yous and please get me nowhere to fast My drugs are too strong Chewing holes in my cheeks On my hands and my knees Searching for dignity My A, Bs and Cs My one, twos and threes count along They count along We'll call this close to the bone Feel it coming in waves My boss battle saves will ensure victory But I'm weak at the knees Double shifts on the weekend alone I'm running on empty The MD, I'll end up eating Breakfast for dinner again My bowl and my spoon My morning cartoons Throw myself under the bus again I'm looking at you At you At me At me

Cold Feet 01:52
Hate me just like you hate sleeping alone Back seat revelry is dead on the curb You dress to impress But nothing is fitting Still you take away all my breath While choking with red hands and cold feet I'm knocking at your door again You're far too busy to be spending all your money with me I'm far too busy pretending to be too busy for you You're far too busy to be spending all your money with me I'm far too busy pretending to be too busy for you

Delivery Boy 03:08
Sky scraping, knuckle dragging am I falling asleep How could I sleep through Being lost and disconnected All my rules may be amended I'm sure Heart broken like a ball left out on the street Will you find me Being lost and disconnected All my rules may be amended Delivery boy, delivery boy You got some words to spell But you spell so well You got brain cells for sale and they're going quick The writings on the wall and you're gonna be sick because Delivery boy, delivery boy Your friends are on the way But you're just in the way and you know it Do most of your reading on old school runescape please As you dosey doe with your brain Underpriced and overpaid Collect on your old fashioned shame Inching closer to a petty game Sunder of unforgiven claims Between the lines you're folding Between the lines you're folding Believe the lie you're doing fine Delivery boy, delivery boy Hit by the door again Straight to the jaw then bed Cause you know you need the sleep How many pictures Do I need to hold up to tell you my age Are we on the same page Are you reading the same words I'm reading Teach me how to read I read the page and I'll read it again Rivers carving canyons amongst the words This always happens It's always me I'm never good enough Nooooooo Now I'm counting down my lines to go Turn the tables on their heads for show Nothing but a fuck around For shits and gigs while you don't even know Inching closer to a petty game Sunder of unforgiven claims Between the lines you're folding Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
