I've been spilling my guts all over stages Through busted lips and onto the pages And killing my friends with the ink from my pen And praying it don't get no worse
So now I'm all dressed up with no place to go 'Cause they all want something sad, sweet, and slow But don't look to me for your hip apathy While I still got something to say And I still got something to say
'Cause the crowds are getting bigger, anxiety worse I'll drink of my blessings and spit out the curse When the boots hit the boards, we won't be ignored Until this van becomes my hearse
Now all of the noise kids are dressed to the nines Snorting their paychecks in cute little lines In a bodega bathroom, committing their crimes It ain't easy looking this good It ain't easy looking this good
And I'll shoot the cough medecine into my veins The faces get blurry, but it kills all the pain And the voices inside my head stop screaming Long enough for me to get to sleep
So move to the city and start up a band Get your heart broke wide open with the blood from your hands Write it all down and embrace the sound Of failing miserably, yeah
So move to the city and start up a band Get your heart broke wide open with the blood from your hands Write it all down and embrace the sound Of failing miserably
Write it all down and embrace the sound We are failing miserably This is the sound of failing miserably
