lyrics

Feels like all I did today was stare at screens
Better than trying, I mean
Everybody hates to scrape their knee
But I’m not afraid to bleed
I just had a plate to eat
And I have a place to sleep
So life is good
No I really can’t complain
It’s strange how comfort can often feel like a strangle
And in the same swift motion
For the first time
I don’t feel like my life’s in danger
But I hate it
Please don’t do me any favors
I’m good great amazing
Whatever you wanna hear to keep it movin
Life’s a fight and for a while now I’ve been losing
So I’m use to it
I love the taste of dirt in my mouth
Hold my drink I’ll be gone for while to figure it out

I just wanna do the right thing
Everybody but me seems to know what that is
What does it mean to do the right thing
When at the end of the day most people don’t give a shit
I just wanna do the right thing
I just wanna do the right thing

Don’t do anything for everybody
You’ll just end up dizzy and tripping
And try and call it glory
It’s never easy making the hardest decisions
Especially with the mental environment that I live in
I guess I suffer existence
I need a break from it all
Narcissism having me forget there’s a world
Your heart pumps and I listen
At least I’m trying my best to
Being able to apologize was the best news

I just wanna do the right thing
Everybody but me seems to know what that is
What does it mean to do the right thing
When at the end of the day most people don’t give a shit
I just wanna do the right thing
I just wanna do the right thing

It’s one foot after the next
Just keep moving
Just know that you’re probably gonna slip
You’re just human
And beautifully so you have a beautiful soul
Hurt people hurt people but the healed give hope
You reap what you sow
So plant that seed and it grows
And follow that bright light if you wanna get home

I just wanna do the right thing
Everybody but me seems to know what that is
What does it mean to do the right thing
When at the end of the day most people don’t give a shit
I just wanna do the right thing
I just wanna do the right thing
