Petey
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 a 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
While I've got something to ask you
How can I value these faces?
What a face is?
Asking questions
No I've never seen you smile
You see 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
[Chorus 1]
Why you looking 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 looking at me like that?
Only ask because I care
Are we laying this thing to rest?
Can we finally clear the air?
Well I think 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
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?
Ok now I'm on the airplane
How are the hell are you still texting?
[Chorus 2]
I been staring at heat lightning
Out the window of an aeroplane
Man, I used to want to be something
No I don't care if it's a video game
All I want if something holding me tight
I'm moving all over the place
On the couch in a house that isn't mine
I've been living in a liminal space
[Chorus 1]
Why you looking 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 looking at me like that?
Only ask because I care
Are we laying this thing to rest?
Can we finally clear the air?
