"Downer" lyrics

Can't stop, gotta get up and run
Don't walk, never, ever show emotions
Nonstop talk
Slow down and you'll never get back on track
Attacked from all directions

Beat street, feel the rhythm beneath your feet
Apathetic, copacetic joie de vivre
Type 2 as the enneagram displays
And I'm always exhausted

Don't ask me why
It's a complicated tale
My hands are tied
Too tight to lift this veil
Of darkest night
And all the promises I made
When I would always let you down
And I will always let you down

I can't see when the moon is a mystery
Mawkish tonics of a tragic century
Tongue-tied is the motto
The crest I wear to carry out connection

Dreadnought, shoving everything in one spot
Qualifying all the money that I shot
On high hopes for a mentally chill parade
But I'm still fucking anxious

Don't ask me why
It's a complicated tale
My hands are tied
Too tight to lift this veil
Of darkest night
And all the promises I made
When I would always let you down
I will always let you down

When I was small, I made a lot of mistakes
Then I grew up and learned it wasn't quite that way
If I had known back then it wasn't my fault
It might have affected the way that I acted
With confidence instead of hiding behind it all

Don't ask me why
It's complicated
My hands are tied
Don't ask me why
It's just the circumstance I'm in
Don't ask me why
Might be the color of my skin
Don't ask me why
I make the promises I make
When I just always let you down
And I will always let you down
I will always let you down
