i knew better, but did nothing

i'm not proud of the things i've done

but i'm proud of the person that i can become

'cause somewhere between day one and now

i tried to chase a popular sound

i tried to chase a comfort for those around

but when the show ends

we're sleeping on hardwood beds

praying to god we find out

if we got the support slot or not

that can make or break our sound in the end

hoping we can move into another market

rather than the one that made us

rather than the one that changed us

so

we wanna take a detour and

change behavior and make more

find out faces on the fader and pitchfork

and digress even more

what did you expect from me?

start to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve

when do i go? what can i be?

nothing equals nothing

this did nothing for me

we just hoped our rebellion

would look like rebellion rather than what it is

that target for millennials to put their faith in

but i'm proud to say we made some people

looking into themselves rather than the evil

and i'll always thank the ones who trusted to me

enough to join me on this journey

even the ones who didn't stick around

i'm still grateful for the ones who helped shape the sound

now i just need to thank god for this forgiveness

what did you expect from me?

start to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve

when do i go? what can i be?

nothing equals nothing

this did nothing for me

what did you expect from me?

start to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve

when do i go? what can i be?

nothing equals nothing

this did nothing for me

now i can thank god for the idea of forgiveness

and i can thank god that i'm still in this

'cause i love the idea of a future

'cause though it never comes

it's somehow always happening

and every moment that i'm not asleep is a moment where i think

maybe i should've just finish it up and gotten that degree

'cause mom i made it

i just wish i would have learned something

'cause now this emptiness haunts me
