When it gets too lonely to adore
Your autonomy is lovingly ignored
So you stand inside the roar of everything you've ever wanted
With all your joy departed
You challenge my ability
To find a rhyme in a passive melody
Well I'd rather be good than lucky
Since idle hands seem to beg for everything
So tell me, when you just waste all your time
Can you call it a simple life?
Cause the second shoe can't be ignored
When it always tends to find the floor
When it gets too lonely to adore
Your autonomy is lovingly ignored
So you stand inside the roar of everything you've ever wanted
With all your joy departed
And just a stiff drink to prop your chin up
Wage war on common sense
To justify rec-league accomplishments
Your followers may never pay your rent
I call your bluff and get the voicemail and then
I watch your knuckles turn white again
Inside the box you put yourself in
When it gets too lonely to adore
Your autonomy is lovingly ignored
So you stand inside the roar of everything you've ever wanted
With all your joy departed
And just a stiff drink to prop that chin up
You can't give a shit but you can talk it
You can't draw a line but you can walk it
How do you kiss the rings of urban kings
And still not see that it's just dishonest by design
You can't see the lines with all the good vibes
Sleep 'til noon and refuse to redefine a waste of time
After all the years spent trying to hear you out
I still think I'll end up with my foot inside my mouth
