It'd probably be beautiful there
If I could get a spot with these musical chairs

Is this what its come to
More hoops to jump through 
Another race to finish 
Another ribbon I can run through 
Is this what it has to be 
Another almost triumph turned tragedy 
Somebody asked me why I never smile for a camera 
I've been trying to be better, keep it mild with the manners 
If only I could take out this Goliath with a dagger
And not have to build a house with just screwdrivers and a hammer 
Why's everything gotta be so tough, gotta be so hard, gotta be so nuts
Try to be strong all dieseled up, but it only gets worse two or threefold yup 
I'm sick of the players and sick of the games
People that change in the wickedest ways
Sick of the fellas and sick of the dames
All by myself in the thick of it dang 
I'm thriving though, cause I'm fine alone
My vibe be cold,  twenty-five below
My bones are frozen my soul turned into an icicle
I don't like it though
Yo, I'm not the same person I once was
I'm not the same version you once loved 
Way more aggravated, jaded, hatred in the cadence
Don't matter what I say it's never perfect enough cause
My own criticism is the worst
Ain't too many like me can hit me where it hurts 
Killed an ego big enough cant into a hearse 
Try to pull myself up, exorcise the curse 

Breakups lead to a breakdown 
Wake up wanting to lay down 
Got a bunch of stuff I should get off my chest 
Not much I really wanna say now 
For so long I've been in a hurry going nowhere 
Lately I don't care
No friends, no fun, and frankly it's no fair 
Why you turn the music off when there's no chairs

I might never shine as bright as I'd like to 
I might never have a mask people can't be seeing right through 
I'm forthcoming about my shortcomings and flaws
When I stumble and fall right in front of you all
I wonder if I'd rather feel nothing at all
Than the hurt that I feel when nobody applauds
Ahh dawg, I'm kinda feeling sad and emo
Cause I'm really good at bringing out the bad in people
Trying to fight it, try as I might
Never been one to be finding the light
The older I get and the colder I get
I wanna go hide when anxiety strikes
Panic stricken, manic-isms, got my own abandoned prison
The body is a temple there's emotional vandalism
Going on, like every time I wrote a song
Cause everything that makes me feel good
Well, I know it's wrong
Clearly, I need somebody near me
To tell me when I'm right, when I'm wrong, when I've nearly lost it 
When I've gone off my rocker 
Never been the sharpest crayon in the coloring box but
It wasn't always this way, I don't know what's gotten into me
Lord give me strength give me serenity

Breakups lead to a breakdown

Why you turn the music off when there's no chairs

It'd probably be beautiful there
If I could get a spot with these musical chairs
Yea
It'd probably be beautiful there
If I could get a spot with these musical chairs
Get it
It'd probably be beautiful there
If I could get a spot with these musical chairs
Yea
It'd probably be beautiful there
If I could get a spot with these musical chairs
UH HUH
