lyrics

At school they told me I didn't have a soul
Well who are they with their paper cup morals
And their plastic surgery frame of mind

Just saying things to be kind
Just saying things to be kind
Saying it for the sake of it
But their hearts not in it
Most advice is bad advice
Now take it from me
Take it from me

And I dread to even think
Just having the tools doesn't make you skilled

Don't break your toes as the doors are closed
As you're told to wait
For the phone to ring
With your life on a plate
But they never ring

Heavy breathing
Mantra spouting
Doesn't get you anywhere
Just makes you feel better when you don't
Don't

It's cool to be a slacker
And happy being bitter
And we're setting ourselves up for disaster

Like a busker in a cashless society
There's nothing for him and nothing for me
Most advice is bad advice

Painted in a bad light
But it's better than if you could actually see me
Can't be as bad as last night's nightmare
Why do I care, why do I care
Why do I care, why do I care, why do I care
What other people think of me?

You can give it your all and it still won't be enough
Still gotta pick up the slack
And we love who we think loves us back
But it never lasts
It never lasts

And you can't trust anyone
They won't stop until they're done
Strolling over you
