lyrics

Bored enough to grab a cop's gun
Running out of things to do for fun
Acting so detached from everyone
Even new things feel redundant
And mundane
I'm so spoiled it's insane
But I can't program my brain
To be more easily entertained

So for now
I'm shutting it down
I'm shutting it down
All I can do
For my brain right now
Is shut it down

Trying to figure out
A way to distract myself
But I'm not sure what from
Trying to kill the time
Until I get to the finish line
While I forget to run

Every other day I wanna quit
Like I had my big idea and that was it
I can't think of any decent messages
Or find the syllables and synonyms that fit
In a phrase
That actually needs to be conveyed
That could cause some kind of change
That no one's already said in a cooler way

I'm a fool
Instead of making you proud,
I'm letting you down
Standing in place like a fool right now,
I'm letting you down

Trying to figure out
A way to distract myself
But I'm not sure what from
Trying to kill the time
Until I get to the finish line
While I forget to run

I keep in mind
That if I close my eyes
I won't know what I'm missing
So I'm walking blind
I will not find
Whatever it is I should be looking for

Trying to figure out
A way to distract myself
But I'm not sure what from
Trying to kill the time
Until I get to the finish line
While I forget to run
