Lyrics:
 
And I aint been shit since shit
Chicken or the egg or digestion?
Doesn't really matter what my friends said
None of them have spent any time in this place where my head gets
Spent six years doing shit that I hate
And I'll spend ten more while I patiently wait
Yeah I work so hard 'cus I'm fucked up
Always insecure about the dumb stuff
Don't much feel much like real life when I write
So I get high spent nights up while I type
Like, you ever found a place to forget you exist?
Where you really let yourself breath but never even noticed it?
I've only found the opposite with any of them
Leach to the skin, good friend, but a sieve
See, I'm keeping to myself and I'm measuring goals
I've been finding that the post broke every time you took hold
There's a difference in our motives and I know it
Tried to replace mine there before you stole it
I never even really got to hold it fore you broke it
Took the scraps in my sack, went home then
Wrote a little bit about it, never even spoke it
And even if I did you wouldn't know it
Now I'm hopin' that the end comes soon, so I pace my tomb
But I know it never will so now I'm cleaning out my room
 
Who left you undone
Who let you outrun what you knew?
(And why you walkin' now?)
Who left me undone
Who let me outrun what I knew?
(Why am I walkin' now?)
Who left me undone?
Who let me become just like you?
(It doesn't matter now)
 
I'm finding a better way to live now
And I apologize, but that required me to cut you out
Like the sun blew out
Then the shit threw flame at my sundown, somehow
I'ma make it out, make it better than this
I'ma swoon with the moon 'til she leaves me, sees me
Finding a better to way to live now
I'm finding a better way to live now
I'm finding a better way to live now
