Lyrics:

(artist's lyricswiki lyrics)

Via Bandcamp

I used to fear failiure,
being forgotten,
now I'm at the top and I can
only think about the bottom,
how the meaning got away
and turned into a problem,
I don't remember how to solve em
throw em at the team and raise the volume.

Never been the kind to smile and wave
I'd always kinda misbehave
and cover up with clever words
and make myself believe
that I was doing what I had to do
to get ahead - Am I corrupted or
am I adaptable to change?

Suseptible to propaganda from
a group people who can't
even get themselves together to decide
what rules and ideologies they want the
crowds to follow
but when they follow me can they detect my
words are hollow?

I used to fear failure
Being forgotten
Now I'm at the top and I can only think about the bottom
How the meaning got away and turned into a problem
I don't remember how to solve em
Throw em at the team and raise the volume

Never been the kind to smile and wave
I'd always kinda misbehave
And cover up with clever words
And make myself believe
That I was doing what I had to do
To get ahead - am I corrupted or am I adaptable to change?

Susceptible to propaganda from
A group of people who can't
Even get themselves together to decide
What rules and ideologies they want the
Crowds to follow
But when they follow me can they detect my
Words are hollow?

(Yeah, yeah) They've been saying I'm a popstar now
Guess that's just how the story goes
(Yeah, yeah) I've been living the dream
(Yeah, yeah) Oh no, oh no

How am I supposed to heal
When skill and fame and people talkin'
Got endorphins forming fog and smoke that tell me how I feel
And now I'm mad at you for being human
Color blind bomb defuser
Glass breaks, racecar my own illusion

So we just keep on singin'
Writing down our situation
Hoping someone out there feels the same
So we can see the number growin'
Find external validation
Cyber-novocaine - just until they change the station

(Yeah, yeah) They've been saying I'm a popstar now
Guess that's just how the story goes
(Yeah, yeah) I've been living the dream
(Yeah, yeah) Oh no, oh no
(Yeah, yeah) (They've been saying I'm a popstar now)
(Guess that's just how the story goes)
(Yeah, yeah) (I've been living the dream)
(Yeah, yeah) (Oh no, oh no)
