"Cynical" lyrics

"Cynical"

La, la-la-la-la, la-la

Sleeping really well without anyone else
I've been making good decisions
Cooked the perfect egg, I opened up my shell
I've been on a new religion
Things are in their place, all kept in a row
Soon as they feel safe, I get bored

Why do I have to be so cynical?
Can't get me off my feet, that's typical
Why do I feel at peace when it's difficult?
Why do I have to be so cynical?

La, la-la-la-la, la-la
Cynical
La, la-la-la-la, la-la
The pressure's really on

Series of events
Unfortunate, and then suddenly my life's in ruins
My smile never ends when my heart beats out my chest
And I question what the hell I'm doin'

Why do I have to be so cynical?
Can't get me off my feet, that's typical
Why do I feel at peace when it's difficult?
Why do I have to be so cynical?

La, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la

Overthinking, overdoing, over it all
I'm unhappy ever after, and destined for disaster
Overthinking, overdoing, over it all
I'm unhappy ever after, and destined for disaster
(Cynical)
