Your voice is stopping my entirety from letting everyone know
How I feel today. (So routine and so damn clear.)
And its making me a little down, the way that this all gets to me.
Youre so overrated, underestimated, and sometimes in between.

But I cant stop this from taking all we know.
Theyre in backrooms and by front doors and running all our studios.

(I dont need you) So please dont compromise.
Its hard enough without you breathing down my neck, while Im just screaming.

So stop dreaming and stop hoping, and start picking up your mess.
(They say they all are liars, son).
Cause they hide under the floorboards as the world passes them by.
Youre just like Ive been warned.

Ive seen enough of you. (Stop stopping everything we want!)
