Pedestrian At Best

Lyrics

I love you, I hate you, I'm on the fence, it all depends
 Whether I'm up or down, I'm on the mend, transcending all reality
 I like you, despise you, admire you
 What are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
 I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success
 But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess
 This, that, the other, why even bother?
 It won't be with me on my deathbed, but I'll still be in your head
 Put me on a pedestal, and I'll only disappoint you
 Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
 Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
 I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
 ♪
 My internal monologue is saturated analog
 It's scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea
 It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy
 I've got no idea how I even got here
 I'm resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis
 Want bliss, daylight savings won't fix this mess
 Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest
 The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?
 Put me on a pedestal, and I'll only disappoint you
 Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
 Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
 I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
 ♪
 I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide
 I decide this internal diatribe
 When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you crying
 In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this
 When you're not even mine to consider
 Erroneous, harmonious, I'm hardly sanctimonious
 Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves
 I'm a fake, I'm a phoney
 I'm awake, I'm alone
 I'm homely, I'm a Scorpio
 Put me on a pedestal, and I'll only disappoint you
 Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
 Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
 I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
 Put me on a pedestal, and I'll only disappoint you
 Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you
 Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey
 I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny
