Monastery

Bullseye on the prize, the horizon on my fingertips
Read between the lines, there's street signs in the wilderness
Redefine diligence, dilly-dally to militant
It's like a silver lining on the slight chance they still exist
I take the hit just keep it close to home
The dosage rose, I wrote it down, I'll smell the roses when they're overgrown
And if you need it snappy, boy I got you like a broken bone
I'm sleeping on the ocean floor, born to be a cornerstone
Ride the cutting edge just to rub in the dirt
Put in work, you can feel the curb appeal in my smirk
And it's all just the growing pains of breaking the mold
Don't wanna speak on my problems, just keep painting them gold

I hope it's a means to an end and we're actually friends
But I think I know better
I hope it's green on your side of the fence and this makes any sense
But I think I know better
And if it's really all for the best and as good as it gets
I should've known better
But I think I know better

Live and learn feels like give and go, it's been a minute
Simplify, can't take my own advice or ever fit a description
And I'll piss it all away before you find a box we can fit in
Any which way is a pie to the face and motherfucking delicious
Landscapes in my frame of mind
Making waves, got my sea legs as you can see by the ankle bites
Manic but I'm managing, I'm planning, I don't fantasize
It's ballroom baseball, it's a bouquet of dandelions
And I'll be damned if these songs weren't short of monasteries
When you'd have thought that God was buried, chasing this was Tom and Jerry
Glitter and grime, I stick to mine, I'm sick in the head
Give it some time, I'll be fine spit-shining these gems

I hope it's a means to an end and we're actually friends
But I think I know better
I hope it's green on your side of the fence and this makes any sense
But I think I know better
And if it's really all for the best and as good as it gets
I should've known better
But I think I know
I think I know
I think I know
I think I know
