Now here's the thing
I'm just starting to move and my bipolar brain has an agenda to prove
And the popcorn explodes while the chao ensues
As I peacock my very own ego
Then right at the moment when crass becomes calm
As I gloat in my tower, reality dawns
The twist in my story, now thirty years long
The villain turns out to be me
So here's what we try: compartmentalize
You're calling me honest but choke on my lies
If abracadabra is not a real word, maybe Canada isn't The Lord of The Flies
I'm sick of your shit, wanting to quit
Think about this before slitting your wrist
There's millions of people who suffer while you're just comparing yourself to Will Smith
This is a story all about how my life got twisted upside-down
It'll only take a minute, just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the king of a land called Despair
Just then I started to glow
Did you hear what he said? Oh no!
Always so alarmed at my lack of respect
I'm just an average white male with a privilege to check
Just then I started to glow

New Shoes

I'm washed up
No one's in my corner now
On my way to lonely; I'm already there
Trade you spots
Your warm bed for my cold cot
Though we both are breathing, I'm already dead
They can say there's nothing wrong with us...
Like new shoes
Outside shiny, inside bruised
Blisters don't leave scars so no one ever knew
No goodbyes
I don't deserve to see you cry
When I free my soul the sun will finally rise
They can say there's nothing wrong with us
They can say there's nothing wrong with us
But will we be okay?

The sun is shining on her face this bright-eyed summer's day
It's only March
Let's not sit around trying to feel it out
Let's squeeze out every moment before it's dark
Swing crosstown, we're ocean-bound
Went naked on the beach and fell in love
Then she took too many party favours
Couldn't hold her shit, we left the club
So I guess I know now, what I wish I'd known then
These are people involved
Life and death, not pretend
When she kissed me that night, and she took me to bed
I fell in the palm of her hand, and I took it out on my band (my bad)
Don't veto me
Don't throw me out
I need you by my side, without you guys the songs I write don't count
So I guess we know now that I've harnessed my pen
That our victory is words, and that we win in the end
So when we play here tonight, with the check in our hands
And we can't afford beer
At least I'm with my best friends
When you're right, you're right

Sayonara and goodnight
You project nothing but pettiness and fright
You think your actions are so silent, but they show you lack the strength to say goodbye. Oh-woah oh-oh.
Oh...
You're the apple of my eye; no....
'Cuz if I ate you, you're so rotten I would die
They would wipe away the bile and see the answer etched inside my lifeless eye: You only steal all that you do not break or buy.
You are so cold
I guess you're better off alone
Oh-woah oh-oh
London Bridge has fallen down
The monarchy is dead and still you seek the crown
For some reason now you're fiending out and we can't keep this shit from going down. Take your heroin, Miss Marilyn, and get lost in the crowd.
You are so cold
I guess you're better off alone
Oh-woah oh-oh
Keep hanging on
We're not through yet
I'll bide my time
You make your threats
You're such a child
But we're all kids
You'll find it...
You are so cold
I guess you're better off alone
Oh-woah oh-oh
You believe you're the victim, right down to your soul
And you can't rise above it
Because you're nothing
You're cold
