do it on your own!
do it on your own!
you're the only one that you know for sure
do it on your own! x4
course, you'll need people
a lotta hungry people
who wanna see you inside and out
so they can tell you no
they'll tell you no
they'll tell you no
they'll tell you NO!
do it on your own x4
but the thing you gotta know is you're on your own
they're all alone like you
making their masterpieces
so you gotta be kind!
you gotta let the little shit slide!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE!

they always want you to know
that theyve got something to show
its right under your nose
cuz you just wouldnt know
if you werent close
they turn you into a ghost
im tryin, im tryin, yeah yeah, im tryin
to see you, to see you, past your reflection
reflections, reflections fuck your reflections
they deflect your self image and they hold you for ransom
dont do it! dont do it!
dont try escaping
cuz then youll think youre better and youll try to change it
to change it, to change it,
to take your own actions
and hold them to your standards that youre always raising
they always want you to know
that theyve got something you dont
its right under your nose
cuz you just wouldnt know
if you werent close
they turn you into a ghost
im tired, im tired, im just so fucking tired
no amount melatonin can make me go to sleep
im lying, im lying, awake in my bed
reading wikihow tutorials on how to fix my head
im sinking in my mattress with my eyes fixed on my phone
i know the number calling me up is almost certainly not yours
and as the silver screen gets brighter and it exacts my temptation
i feel like id rather be miserable than to never be alone
shut up x1000
i dont wanna live in your dream, i dont wanna x8
i dont wanna i dont wanna i dont wanna do it anymore!

Masterpiece

after the track ends i run it all back
play it over again, delete it just for a laugh
cuz every time i try too hard to make a song thats good
i end up saying not enough or more than i should
its no masterpiece
im just trying to piece
together thoughts that i keep
lodged between my teeth
ice melts in the heat
and im ready to leave
my childhood dream
good morning reality!
dont wanna do it for you
dont wanna do it for me
dont wanna do it at all
just wanna do it for free
dont wanna make a fool out of myself
tryin to make something for anybody else
now im looking around
and now i hate how it sounds
i think the sounds i make
dont sound as good as yours
dont sound as good as yours
dont sound as good as yours
thiink the sounds that i make just dont sound as good as yours
