I Tried to Draw a Straight Line
Yeah, I tried to draw a straight line
In a pencil with a vacuum, sucked a quarter from the mattress
There's a border and it's clearly defined
But I'm a dumbass in a classroom and I keep getting distracted
Can you take me at face value?
Mr. Head-is-up-in-space
I'm your teacher, here's a lesson
Well, I've got something to ask you
How can I value these faces?
When a face is? Asking questions
No, I've never seen you smile
You see, how I've been kinda angry
Since the Kings lost to the Lakers
In the Western Conference Finals
Ain't it funny when you find out everything is fake?
Everything is fake, everything is fake
Why you lookin' at me like that?
Are you wishing that I was dead?
Am I making you feel uncool?
Is it something that I said?
Why you lookin' at me like that?
Only ask because I care
Are we layin' this thing to the rest?
Can we find a way to clear the air?
Well, I think I feel enlightened
I feel this weight off of my chest
It's not my fault, it just happened
I can flip around my eyelids
And scare the shit out of my kids
Made of a trillion little atoms
Oh, I haven't even had them
Do I deserve to have an imprint
On a child, on an infant?
Fuck, I can't even imagine
Well, I've limped along for miles
And now life's a game of inches
Oh, I wish that I could care more
I haven't eaten breakfast
They put cinnamon on breadsticks
Can you tell I'm at the airport?
Okay, now I'm on the airplane
How the hell am I still texting? (I've been)
I've been starin' at heat lightning
Out the window of an aeroplane
Man, I used wanna be something
No, I don't care it's a video game
All I want is unlimited time
I've been livin' all over the place
On a couch at a house that isn't mine
I've been livin' in a liminal space
Why you lookin' at me like that?
Are you wishing that I was dead?
Am I making you feel uncool?
Is it something that I said?
Why you lookin' at me like that?
Only ask because I care
Are we layin' this thing to the rest?
Can we find a way to clear the air?
In a pencil with a vacuum, sucked a quarter from the mattress
