lyrics

It seems I'm only good at drawing
when I try drawing me
But even then I can't seem to show
something realistically...
I think that that might be
what's wrong with me

I see a thousand ways
that I could portray myself
(But probably none of them are accurate)
I see a sweet young man
w/ some simple demands and nothing else
But it seems like that's not the case
I see it all over your face...

There's a bright green light
At the edge of my life
And it's calling me...
Like there's a better place
Somewhere I might make
Something out of me
But I know it's unobtainable
An ideal, a life unsustainable
I know it's all in my head...
I just wish that I wasn't instead

It turns out that when I'm drawing
I'm not bad at drawing some other shit
But it's always Love, Death, and Taxes
I can't seem to relax
Whenever I get like this
It's definitely not worth the hype
Im just a big fucking stereotype

There's a bright green light
At the edge of my life
And it's calling me...
Like there's a better place
Somewhere I might make
Something out of me
But I know it's unobtainable
An ideal, a life unsustainable
I know it's all in my head...
But sometimes I wish I was dead
