Verse//
I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place
I’ve been here before, too many times
I don’t even have a dime to my name
The same game, played with all the cheat codes on
And I still can’t find a way home
Prechorus//
And I swear it’s true
When I’m not with you
It’s like I’m lookin’ at the world
From the outside in
I swear I wanna be there
But it’s hard sometimes
Yeah, it’s kinda hard sometimes
Oh, hard sometimes
Chorus///
He was a misfit, she was a princess
If you hit the snooze on, you just might of missed it
Level with me please: do I have a chance in hell?
It’s easy to see me
For what I am cuz I left the rest inside a photo on the floor
This feeling is something I just can’t ignore
Verse II//
There’s a part of me that wishes
I’d picked the roads that are easy
The rhythm goes on, the measures are gone
I’ve been here all night, but a night isn’t long
Played the same game
Cheated my way to the bottom
Now I see what always
Brought you down
Bridge//
Go on pretending
The world isn’t ending
You haven’t even found
What you’re fighting for
I hope I have the health
for what comes next
//Prechorus II
Oh, who am I to kid?
That’s the laugh I missed
It’s like I’m seeing where I’ve been
And all the things I did
I am stretching thin, low on oxygen
Making it easy to breathe out but hard to breathe it back in
Chorus//

Winter sucks, I think that it's true
I need some snowfall before my balls turn blue
Beautification is a fluctuatin'
So throw me some Seasonal Masturbation
And I'm not just bein' a cynical lyricist
People go crazy under whimsical realists
Just take a look around and I'm sure that you'll see
All the biblical bureaucrats at the top of the tree
And while the bureaucrats take their bureau-craps
I'll take a bureau-nap before I bureau-fap
They came with nothin' like a boy without porn
And they still got nothin' but the place they're born
We turned 'em away, we turned 'em down
A bomb falls in the forest makin' no sound
Well, there's no one to hear the post casualty orders
Cuz they fired the only Doc's without borders
We need to give 'em name tags just to be sure
Labeling people; have we seen this before
That's right I pulled the Trump card
But I play the best when the hand comes down hard
It's the second coming but not of the big G
It's the whim of the whiny DT
I'm not one to rhyme, it's not my style
But to warm the winter I'll spit hot fire
Chorus//
I-I-I can't believe my eyes
They always tell me lies just when I need them
You haven't lived a second till the moment you see
Through the guy who lives alone in mediocrity
Verse II//
I'm resourceful like cave
You can find me chillin out in an unmarked grave
If it I stopped to save my name it'd be a shame
Since everyone calls me lame it's all the same
I dug this hole, bit by bit
Now I have a place to throw this fit
Call it what you want but I ain't no hater
I'm a screwball, no it all, pro-masturbator
I always filter all the words that I'm sayin'
That's manly as fuck if you see what I'm layin'
Down with all the talk of hypocrisy
I'd never say that someone was less than me
Chorus//
Bridge//
I had sex with a girl while digging snow without a shovel
She took snow blowing to a whole other level
Who needs a pilots liscence, I'll just wing it
Pleasure is a search engine, if you're desperate you'll Bing it
If there's one thing that I'm good at it's rememberin' lyrics
So... uh shit
Chorus//
Ah-Ah-I can't believe my eyes
I'm always tellin' lies just when I want to
I haven't lived a second that's what I hope you'll see
There's a thousand million people, places I'll never do or see
So don't take it from me
I will admit when I'm wrong
I know I said I can rhyme so
This is the end of the track

Take a breath, and let off some steam
Tell yourself this has to be a dream
Coincidence could never satisfy
An explanation for just how and why
We made it here to where we’re laying now
Afraid to sleep, in case we’re wrong somehow
I’m not one to ponder life’s mystique but
I have to say: this feeling is pretty neat
You seemed confused by my final try
To show you how much f---in’ time’s gone by
But then you closed your bright blue eyes
And pressed your tiny little lips against mine
Words just don’t seem to justify
The mess we made before we said goodbye
Life went on, I guess that’s not so bad
Truth be told I guess I’m more than just a little glad
Being alone was never quite as bad
But now I’ve lost all I ever had
Take my hand you know it won’t be hard
If you’d rather stay, I send my best regards
Let me tell you how I feel
We intertwine among the notes like sine waves
And if you listen to them closely you’ll find just what you wanna hear
Thanks for giving me a chance
To let me tell you how I feel

Paradigm
Verse//
Well here we are, lost in translation again
No magic quests, no hints,
This time I’ve just gotta get out of bed
Something tells me the road gets rough ahead
Oh my--
Prechorus//
I am not waiting for my chance
To show you just who I am
I’m not sure who the hell I’m supposed to be
But time is running out
Chorus///
I drank milk from the jug at 2am
Oh, how in the hell do we get back here again
Unbearable doesn’t justify how it feels to be trapped on the outside
And I can’t maintain this paradigm
Get me through this god damn semester please
I’m slipping through the cracks of society
In terms of where I’m going I’ll be discreet
I gotta lotta people I’d like to meet
I can’t maintain this paradigm
_____________________________
Seems sorta rude to ask me why
I’m doing what I gotta do just to get by but
I see where’s there’s room to be confused
Not everyone likes to be reused
Life gives back the exact you put in
Like a half assed- money back bargain bid
I’m checking off the last of the cardinal sins
Said the man who doesn't know the mess he’s in
Gimme a break, I deserve it by now
With the express knowledge gained I know how
Cheating the system is not long term
As an overpowered, mystery hour, kill confirm
Why don’t you get it?
Options are: end it
This is judgement day or not
I spent a lot of time thinking bout’ the facts
And so this might just be my final act
I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to get this through your head
I am not your pawn
Procedure supersedes your brawn
Fear will not succeed
Full disclosure’s what I need
Last time that I checked
You’re the one who can’t connect a
If status quo is less than fine
Find another paradigm
//Chorus
