Robert Smith is the man.

lyrics

Inside my head I feel like kevin Mcallister is
is home alone two setting traps making challenges
And I the sticky bandits trigger then so willingly
You ask me how and why these bricks to face are not killing me
And I don't have an answer habitually make a silly dream
Be nothing more than banter and cooler than it could really seem
I ran around the back to try and trick myself to act right
The plan of my attack was to specific and now a not quite
Exists where once yes dominated head space
Now everything's a second guess or wrapped with mental red tape
A haze that lays upon me as I sleep the day away
A friend of mine who lost it in a much more literal way
Not sleeping exhausting but options are only stay awake
And hate myself the next day and tell myself today I'll change
I tend to keep my mouth shut though I have a lot to say
It ain't so and so I hope that everything will be just great
Great great great why do good things always make me wait
I want to rock a faster pace disastrous as passing days
Have to break at some point this can't go on till past the grave
I have to say that that's the way I like it when I have to face
a problem got em all up steady all up in my calling
Be so much easier if I was more the alcoholic
Type who didn't think so much let the chips lay as they fall if
All in all and all of y'all could listen to me balling
And it's not nearly as easy as imagined
I clearly have a need in me to be better than average
If I ever want to be known as a person that gives
People reason to remember why the hell they have it
Static cling to the friction we hold on to the magic
That Had that zing that punch line scripted by the ad lib
It Was just as adequate if better well than that's it
That's all enough call it folks so tragic
I go the road of know shows dirty and unfolded cloths
Courtesy of composted wordy trying to speak in pros
Stories that sound so much better when there never told
The cure to illnesses close to me the cheddar gold
Glitters like a carrot on a stick gassing nordictrack
Living with my sichy like a third string quarterback
All good I never had the drive in me to order that
Good life so good bye this one was for the sport of rap.
