I kinda hate myself and I’m not quite full of love,
But somehow I get greeted with a smile and a hug.
I’m a child chasing rainbows and I can’t seem to cohere,
And I can only vaguely tell you what I am doing here
I’m just rolling around.
Just can’t figure it out.
I don’t lie on first dates but I’ll certainly omit
All the things that make me feel like I’m a piece of shit.
If you love me I will fight you if I love you I won’t let go,
But if you ask me where I’ll be soon expect that I won’t know.
I’m just rolling around.
Just can’t figure it out.
I’m just hanging around.
Just can’t seem to get out.
I go outside my house but not outside my head,
And I don’t see an outcome where we don’t all end up dead.
Don’t know if I should fight it or just try to live my life,
But no matter what I do I just can’t feel right.
I’m just rolling around.
Just can’t figure it out.
I’m just hanging around.
Just can’t straighten it out.

Steel (Fall Apart)

I don’t like the way that you won’t stop before you say something to me I just can’t ignore.
I know that it’s a trap but I take the bait and every time I do it it’s always the same.
I don’t like the way that you say you will try to treat me better but you never do.
You tell me it’s my fault and I’m not good enough. I feel I fucked up something but I don’t know what.
My head is always spinning and I don’t know what is real.
I’m losing what’s inside me and I don’t know how I feel.
I know it’s just your head and not your golden heart.
You can only do so much to me before I fall apart.
I don’t like the way that you constantly use the fact you’re sad to try to get to me.
I fear if I don’t play my part I’ll make you hurt. I feel so controlled and it makes me squirm.
I’m running out of answers and I wish you would try to find some help just like you know you should.
Instead you put it on me or ignore it, but I can’t keep you going or take another hit.
My head is always spinning and I don’t know what is real.
I’m losing what’s inside me and I don’t know how I feel.
I know it’s just your head and not your golden heart.
You can only do so much to me before I fall apart,
Only do so much to me before I fall apart.
I know that you are kind and always try to do what’s right, but I can see you struggling with your current mind.
Please try to find a path that can help you start to heal, ‘cause I can’t take much more of this I am not made of steel.
My head is always spinning and I don’t know what is real.
I’m losing what’s inside me and I don’t know how I feel.
I know it’s just your head and not your golden heart.
You can only do so much to me before I fall apart,
Only do so much to me before I fall apart.
You can only do so much to me before I fall apart.

Hospital counselor finally saw me.
Said I didn’t have to stay.
Job at a button factory.
Mind, hope it can recuperate.
Hello my name is Joe, I’m not quite who I am.
Passions make me quite shaky.
Cling to the mold machine.
Carefully mixing all the colors.
Smile to see my button so pristine.
Hello my name is Joe, I’m not quite who I am.
I work so hard here to keep myself up.
I wish it didn’t hurt to do the things I love.
I can’t stand another day,
But it’s all I got, so I’ll just stay here

Moon gleams as I lay beside you, tracing the stars in your breath.
Constellations of lovers like us sharing Sweet Tarts and space kisses.
Tangled up in nebula blankets surrounded by heavenly bodies.
Find a planet, we’ll hide for a while sharing Sweet Tarts and space kisses.
Oh I get so down from things of the day,
But holed up with you feels like I’m a world away.
The stars are out so hold me ‘til the day.
Dancing and gliding on moonbeams, twirling like a binary pair
In the drizzle of meteor showers sharing Sweet Tarts and space kisses

Earth is bound for disaster. My industry’s got it made.
With people fleeing the rising oceans there’s so much money to make.
They’ll pay me to build a seawall and crummy housing as well.
And I’ve got so many bogus solutions that I’m ready to sell.
The more disastrous the climate, the higher profits I’ll make.
If people suffer and lose it all that’s just the price that they’ll pay.
People say that I caused this, but I won’t take the blame.
If anyone tries to prove it, I’ll launch my misinformation campaign.
I’ll still be rolling in money anyway, still be getting my honey every day.
Even if people start to come for my head, they’ll just be facing my guards instead.
I won’t be spending my time a-worryin’, won’t be changing my life all over it.
Even though I’m destroying the world, I won’t have to change a thing.
Well I might have to move one of my vacation homes…oh well.
I’ll still be rolling in money anyway, still be getting my honey every day.
Even if people have to head for the hills, they’re still gonna have to pay me my bills.
I won’t be spending my time a-worryin’, won’t be changing my life all over it.
Even though I’m destroying the world, I won’t have to change a thing.
