Welcome back to Part II, this time a little crunchified
Wait, what?

Machines!

I'm waking up to a whole new day
One of the only ones where I don't have to do something
So I need to make
The most of it
But I don't have that many friends to do it with
I walk around and nothing feels good
I might be down, but I will get up soon
Gotta have some treats to keep myself sane
As ad screens start to control my brain
So I guess I'll be at the gas station
Hoping that nobody else will talk to me ever again
Cuz I wanted to be a partly human
But we're all just groomed to be machines!
Don't freak out
It's all under control
Don't freak out
It's all under control
Don't freak out
Everything's gonna ok
So should I feel like I don't belong
I cannot deal with all that is wrong
No time to heal when I work all fucking day
There's got to be another way
And I won't connect
With the people that I meet
Cuz nobody wants to feel weak
And I
Gotta always protect my resources
Now I never have to share my shit ever again
So I guess I'll be at the gas station
Hoping that nobody else will talk to me ever again
Cuz I wanted to be a partly human
But we're all just groomed to be machines!
I'm so confused
I'm so confused - What does this all look like to you?
x8
I've been meaning to say all the things that I've been focused on
But I guess lyrics were never really meant to be the whole song
And now I see that maybe loops will distract where I'm speaking from
I make music, but what really have I done?
I guess it saved me from a place where I used to have so much fear
Now every day I wake up and I thank the world that I am here
Because I tried to leave already
So just bare with me as I figure this out

You Won't Look Down
02:02

Walk in to work
Gotta have your coffee
But where does it come from
A modern form of slavery
Walking over
Walking over now
The bodies fill the
Bodies fill the ground
But you won't look down
And your friend got a promotion
Call a car to take you there
Give them a tip of two dollars
But that won't make you self aware
Walking over
Walking over now
The bodies fill the
Bodies fill the ground
But you won't look down
Now you're sitting there all alone
You wish you could be more social
Only if you had more money
Then you wouldn't even have to care
Walking over
Walking over now
The bodies fill the
Bodies fill the ground
But you won't look down

Make your Own Fun
03:27
|

I'm finding all of the answers are not really what I thought
Believed in a culture that wasn't built for us
They always needed someone
So go on
But I owe you nothing
That I haven't done
So don't you look at me like I'm already gone
I owe you nothing that I haven't done
So now you have got to make your own fun
Responsibility
Is always weighing on me
This world feels like its staring straight through me
They always needed someone
So go on
But I owe you nothing
That I haven't done
So don't you look at me like I'm already gone
I owe you nothing that I haven't done
So now you have got to make your own fun
I know it's a lie

Broken Record

You're a fucking
Broken record
Say the same thing
Every weekend
And I'm not asking
For a reason I just
Want you to do something new
And I get that it might be hard to get around
I wanna be here for you somehow
Help you get off of the ground
But I feel like this can't be good for you now
And I can't really do much if you don't help yourself out
Cuz
You're a fucking
Broken record
Say the same thing
Every weekend
And I'm not asking
For a reason I just
Want you to do something
You're a fucking
Broken record
Say the same thing
Every weekend
And I'm not asking
For a reason I just
Want you to do something new

It's a Little Too Much
03:05

They always told me that
I would figure it
I don't know why they thought that
Cuz I'm still fucking around
Like
What is it?
Who am I?
And where do I go?
x3
I don't I don't I don't know
Walk this ground
Smashed a bottle on my head
Left it on the ground
I probably should be put to death
Crawlin now
And I think I see someone
So I reach out
But I guess I was wrong
Nobody told me it would
Be this hard
I don't even know how to play this part
Like
What is it?
Who am I?
And where do I go?
x3
I don't I don't I don't know
What is it?
Who am I?
And where do I go?
x3
I don't I don't I don't know

It's Overwhelming
02:19
|

|
Noooo no no
Noooo no no
I don't wanna listen to you scream
I already gave you everything you need
Don't you dare make a scene
Just do the work and then bow down to me
Ya
Oh you think I care about your self esteem?
The world is not some little fairy make believe
Don't ask me if I'm overwhelmed cuz I probably am
Holding 3 (2) cigarettes in my hands
As I fall deeper into the ground
Don't lose sight of the bigger plan
Past your TV stand
Doin this all to keep us down
You gotta realize the power we have
Yaaaa ya yaa
Yaaaa oh oh
Yaaaa ya yaa
Yaaaa yaaaa
Don't ever give up on your dreams
Cuz they will not let you sleep

And So I'm Done
02:34
|

|
I
Have
Way too many things to do that
I don't wanna do
But
Life
Has a funny way of keeping me honest
Looks
Like
I got the short stick
Of every hand I picked
But
I don't want to complain
I
Know
I gotta finish all my things
Before I get away
But
I don't think that its very fair
For you to sit there
WHILE I CLEAN YOUR SHIT
WHILE I BRUSH YOUR HAIR
YOU NEver care
I
Can't
Take
Much more of this
Intrinsic
Nature of mine
I
know I gotta push through it
Before I get away
But
I don't think that its very fair
For you to sit there
WHILE I CLEAN YOUR SHIT
WHILE I BRUSH YOUR HAIR
WHILE I DO YOUR WORK
WITH THOUGHTS I CAN'T BARE
Don't act like this wasn't all your fault
I never was wrong
x3
Do I really wanna be here
Question my mind
Do I really wanna be here
Am I alright
x2
I just wish it would all go away
What can I say
