Perfect Nuisance

[Chorus]
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Lookin' at my tattered clothes
Wonder how they got so battered
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Looking at my tattered clothes
I wish I never let it get so bad

[Verse 1]
Stayin' strong on the first night
Undaunted by the lies of my past life
Not haunted by the guilt, yet nothing to rebuild yet
Still not graspin' the depth of my villainous actions
Splittin' my life into fractions
Factions of people who don’t put the samе kind of weight on infractions
Yeah, I know it’s a little bit savagе
But I think I’m gonna offload my baggage
Bags under my eyes
Are expanding in size
Drivin' me off of a cliff in a forest that’s laden with seeds
I’m dyin', but that won’t stop me, it seems
I’m trying to breathe
Drowning in lies and the water is rising
And if I try to keep up the charade that I’m fine
Given time, everyone’ll stop buying it
But really
My state doesn’t matter
'Cause if I enable emotions
I just keep repeatin' the patterns
I know
That I’m a pure saboteur at my core
So now I’m chokin' on things that I can’t digest
When I focus on the real world, I'm just bored

[Chorus]
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Lookin' at my tattered clothes
Wonder how they got so battered
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Looking at my tattered clothes
I wish I never let it get so bad

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Holding on for the last night
Still managing to fight when I can't fight
I wish that I could fly away instead of having to manage
Another day, this just a new disadvantage
That I come away from nothing
I wish I was bluffing, but it’s just so hard to manage
My brain's like a cannon, it fires so frantically
Need a mechanic before I start panicking
My words, they be damming me so
Huh, how can I write my own amnesty?
Slow to conclusions, don’t act like a human
My morales are broken, so praise be Confucius
I- I just keep ruminatin' on my shortcomings
Sweat the small stuff till I’m drenched
I’ve been on the side for more then a while
I’m thinking of breakin' the bench
My whole life’s been a wind up
Wonder what the place I'ma wind up in is
Will I feel as content as I do at this minute
Or will be wishin' for more?
Will I be bored of livin'
In a world that’s out of sorts?
Or will it all be fine?
Who am I kidding? I’m gonna be found washed up on the shore

[Chorus]
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Lookin' at my tattered clothes
Wonder how they got so battered
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Looking at my tattered clothes
I wish I never let it get so bad

[Interlude]
I don’t think I’m ever gonna figure out the key
But I’m prayin' on my knees for some solution
Thinking that it’s easy to repeat, this mundane cycle
But I don’t know if I can handle the pollution
I don’t think I’m ever gonna figure out the key
But I’m prayin' on my knees for some solution
Try new things to disprove the fact that I’m useless
Why do I do this?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
A third second chance shouldn’t be afforded
If I try hard enough, I can just ignore it
The ship just sinks if I ever try to board it
What’s the point of a question if I can’t explore it? So—

[Chorus]
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Lookin' at my tattered clothes
Wonder how they got so battered
I think I should let it go
'Cause I know that it never mattered
Looking at my tattered clothes
I wish I never let it get so bad
