Something Boring

Wondering why cliches have stuck so good
on the roof of my mouth and the holes in my ears
There's a million little ways you can change your state
but the answer's always something like "eating right"
The smiles that I have gotten have fallen limp
so I'm trying to give my own
The heat isn't coming (they said it would)
so I'm diving in a pool of alcohol
when the life that you've been eating is getting old
do you sell it off and hope for more
The price is cheap, there's no damn bites
do you finally see what you held so tight?
I could be the thing you waste your next two years on
or at least a couple of weeks
Until we figure out our time's important
Don't give in to Something Boring
Bill my morals

Would you put down the phone?
It's not giving me any direction, and the screen's making my eyes hurt.
The pictures are so composed, I do the same things to make them see
I'm stainless, polished and in sync.
Could I justify a cry, said that " I feel like I'm dying"
now I'm fine, this all took place in the run of my
non-remarkable 9-to-5
The marble carved look great in pixels
Archetypes were Never Meant for anything more than direction
I'm glad we both know that's the truth
no problem saying this to you
but I'll close my eyes and let doubt in again
I hope you know that I tried
more than 90 times with letters that fell of dead eyes
I learned to grind, my life won't feel like it's worth living
if I'm not scared by thoughts of failure
so drop the gate, it's all I know

I know you wanna impress your sister
so you're pretending that you're not bored
You're inspecting exit options
someone to get drunk and old with
and I'm sorry, but I've fallen in a Pit of Snakes
I think I'll fit right in
All of our college girlfriends are dating different men
All of our boyish exploits have lost their charm
I'm left wondering if the changes come slowly,
and if I lose my grip
Will I know how to jump back in?
Will I let this slip?
I'm sorry, I had to take a step back, tell myself I can still be anyone
or at least the best take on a life
Tonic Water
In the morning fizz is gone
I need comfort so I drink it to stay calm
was it like this all along?
First I learned how to manage, then worked 'til I got real strong
shake my bones until the tension's gone

Filter

It's not perfect but it's flexible
Am I growing or just dying?
Would you host my flawed projection?
For real can you hold my smoke
I've got a fence to jump, let's go for brok
These flood lights seems so inviting
I'd hit the broken pavement on the other side
you'd laugh cause all we did was burn a night
you wanna wrap it up in a filter, you want the world to know
You've figured it out
You've got it now
Made you feel so high to think you've found why you're alive
You've figured it out
You've got it now
It broke my heart when I felt that I was wasted
It burns me out to think you'll never know that
I'm sure it's all perspective, my emotions are eclectic
but if I was here alone, I'd feel less justified
