lyrics

I was read a diary,
By another version of me,
And he said, "Steve",
"I thought we were smarter than this."

Is society a hole?
Or just a symbol of my frustration?
How I waited here long enough to die,
A life more important than mine.

So take your adderall,
Try to be a good student,
Get the good grades,
There'll be a job for you someday.

I was given a memory,
By another version of me,
And he said, "please,"
"I thought we were better than this."

Is society a hole?
Or just a symbol of my frustration?
How I waited here long enough to die,
A life more important than mine.

So take your adderall,
Try to be a good student,
Get the good grades,
There'll be a job for you someday.

And they said, "hey"
"Wait."

I was given a diary,
By another version of me,
And he said, "please,"
"I thought we were better than this."
