lyrics

I woke up one day thinking were did my life go
How did things get so weird ok why though?
Why don’t I grow? Did I even develop?
When I talk about my life why do I embellish?

Was it all for nothing?
Did I waste my time?
Did I become something?
Or was it just a lie?

I had a life plan and it was smart
I had my life planned or so I thought
I was the right man for the job
But every night man I got drunk
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart

I really need to stop thinking about the past
I need to move forward I need to do it fast
That show is over I need to cut the wristband
Move through the sands of time or you will be stuck in quicksand

Was it all for nothing?
Did I waste my time?
Did I become something?
Or was it just a lie?

I had a life plan and it was smart
I had my life planned or so I thought
I was the right man for the job
But every night man I got drunk
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart

Why did I let my life spin out of control?
Why am I bothered by internet trolls?
Alcohol and parties take their toll
I need to get my shit together like a Katamari roll

Was it all for nothing?
Did I waste my time?
Did I become something?
Or was it just a lie?

I had a life plan and it was smart
I had my life planned or so I thought
I was the right man for the job
But every night man I got drunk
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
I had a life plan and it was smart
I had my life planned or so I thought
I was the right man for the job
But every night man I got drunk
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
And this is how we make art
I had my shit together and then it comes apart
