Priority Boredom
Yawn brigade and self esteem Say it like you really mean to mean it Build your life around a secret Build your secrets into waiting games Any day they'll string you up. They'll hose you down They'll nose around in all your things You swim. You swim. You hope to drown Devastate and implicate. Vindicated by your tribe You come alive online, you die a couple times It's fine. Plug in the other drive Sign above the knotted line I'm fine. You're fine. We are. We're fine We'll catch up some other time Sign ascending signals five contenders will divide the kingdom Nights resemble afternoons at home With all your worst positions thrown into the harshest light To be known and loved and to be known and loved To be known and loved It's so disgusting man, I've had enough Kiss off the day with a mute mouth. Pass the commute I can die faster than you SongtexteBuild up resilience.

Keep trucking When I can see the self I can't bear to face Born Lucky More courage, more disdain Anything at all for a name Fame Self for sale! Brand new self! With an origin myth and skin in the game All I want to be's the knot that goes against the grain Like every other self who wants the same Kiss off the day with a mute mouth. Pass the commute Like I can die faster than you Build up resilience. Build up views But you can't build for long on a partial truth Aus Songtexte Mania
