lyrics

In the malaise of overthinking
how this all started, why it came to be
I don't wanna take five I wanna be free
In the charade that took me nowhere
No one's gonna tell me what they want me to see
Why should I hear out them when they don't know me?
Baby, it's so unfair

Remember when you told me how I never wanna hang on a Friday night
I'm already cut in nine, I'm just trying to get back time
Even then I figure I could never get out of a week day stall
Thinking how I'll double my mind, but I can never get that right

I'm a bonafide habit and though I try
matching what I say, I'm not really here today

Went through the walls and tried to fake that
my forehead didn't hurt and it went not seen
Why should I feel spent when I'm wearing a screen?
Went through a phase where I felt like no one
and tried not to feel like a malady
But that was all bullshit and now I'm free
and baby I'm things
But it's so unclear

Remember when you told me how I never wanna hang on a Friday night
I'm already cut in nine, I'm just trying to get back time
Even then I figure I could never get out of a week day stall
Thinking how I'll double my mind, but I can never get that right

I'm a bonafide habit and though I try
matching what I say, I'm not really here today

In the habit I can see what I want
Watching traffic, I can be who they're not
Split Down the Middle...
