lyrics

Verse:
Alarm goes off always the same
Crash headfirst into today
Give it time it’s right in front of you
How long until it all falls through?

Pre-Chorus:
I just need to shave my face
Make a quick ‘to-do’ list, start lifting weights
Tell myself that I'm still in control

Then there's one hundred indecisions
I used to feel, I used to be so driven
And my friend says "it's the human condition"
But I'm not convinced at all

Chorus:
You know you could still be anything
And that’s exactly why you’re still nothing
If only things were a little bit worse for you
You’re not up against a wall
You’re so unexceptional
Someone else just wants it more
And maybe you could compete with them
But is it worth the time it'd take to try and figure it out?

Verse:
Time to go for it now I suppose
But first just one more episode
It’s out of my hands, it’ll be over soon
I’m held together by a skeleton crew

Pre-Chorus:
Stalling through days and filling out forms
Please stand clear of the closing doors
Worry your friends are gonna do more
You can't commit to anything

You're a write off now, you're set in stone
A shaggy dog story with no resolve
Should know that it's not personal
You were just a trial run

Chorus:
You know you could still be anything
And that’s exactly why you’re still nothing
If only things weren't as good as they are for you
You’re not up against a wall
You’re not what they’re looking for
You're just so predictable
And sure you could be so much more
But are you worth the time it’ll take for them to figure it out?

Outro:
(Guess I’m going up in flames)
It doesn't have to go this way
(Guess I’m going up in flames)
I’m just one bad day away
(Guess I’m going up in flames)
I'm in over my head again
(Guess I’m going up in flames)
Could've been more, it's such a shame

(They'll say what they always say)
It's okay to have a bad day
(They’ll say what they always say)
You've gone and thrown it all away
(I’ve run out of things to blame)
And it’s too late for me to do anything else
(So I guess I’m going up in flames)
And it was always gonna end this way
