lyrics

Find myself living here, if only half the time
Suffer a guilty conscience for uncommitted crimes.
Only a day away, from living out the dream
Without compromise, or going to extremes.
I don't care about feelings, only care about facts
Don't like what the world's dealing, grown eyes on my back
Even the winners are losing, when a deck's too stacked
No time to be snoozing, grown eyes on my back
It's just what humans do, try to hold your tongue
We celebrate ourselves, enough for everyone.
Traps lay in wait, to step in or avoid
I'm not a superstar, I'm a super trapezoid.
I don't care about feelings, only care about facts
Don't like what the world's dealing, grown eyes on my back
Even the winners are losing, when a deck's too stacked
No time to be snoozing, grown eyes on my back
