Keeping it together with a clever disguise
Of a kintsugi mask with golden eyes
Ask Oedipus why we choose to be blind
There's a capitalistic entropy that feeds our demise
Will no one listen? It's a sleeper's delight
To just turn up the volume and drive
Through the warning signs
Keeping it together at a fast-paced rate
Where you'd think I'd be speaking tongues from outer space
There's an existential longing in your static eyes
It's a window to truth where your aesthetic lies
Cause it says no worries, gotta keep it in time
With the Hakuna Matata line
Woo! But we ain't alright
Well C'est la vie
A Mon Ami
I'll take my leave
When all the armored archetypes reveal the tricks up their sleeves
To make us think in a brand new light
So that we aren't what we seem
This message of our generation's in a bottle sent ahead of its time
We're tossing a moltov cocktail, love yeah, say it's from me
We'll keep it together with a clever disguise
Of a stage and a smile and a witty/waiting line
Last call for surrogate jaded smiles
Cause keeping up appearances just ain't my style
I prefer the suspension of a vintage adieu
And the sad melodic blues of an unsequestered muse

1, 2, 3, 4!
It was 2am when the walls caved in
I had a dream where I couldn't win
And chased it down with half-priced gin
Turned on the lights and locked the doors
Buckled down and hit the floor
Until I couldn't dream anymore
Tuned in, turned off, big dream, small start
Thank God for the holes in my heart
They let me breathe and keep me from falling apart
As it's got me good and gone
Tuned in, turned off, turned up too long
Cause everything I do is wrong
Breathe in, breathe out, let it go now
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
'Cause I overthink, and I never blink, and I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
All that I can do is ride it out
Well, no one wants to see their therapist cry
And no one wants to watch somebody die
But all these things, they are always on my mind
Breathe in, breathe out, but not too loud
Cause if they hear, then they'll figure out
That all these things, they are always on my mind
Breathe in, breathe out, let it go now
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
'Cause I overthink, and I never blink and I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
All that I can do is ride it out
Get me out of my mind
Breathe in, breathe out, let it go now
Get me out of my mind
Breathe in, breathe out, let it go now
Get me out of my mind
Breathe in, breathe out
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
'Cause I overthink, and I never blink, and I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
All that I can do is ride it
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
'Cause I overblink, and I never think, and I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now cause you told me to calm down
(Calm down)
All that I can do is ride it out
