I’m the kind that thinks
himself into extinction
who makes a map to scale
with block letters and captions
This dance is for the young
what decade is this?
I’m calling all the shots
it’s not good for business
I’m so good at starting things
but I’m less good at finishing
I’m trying to say the truth in a way
It sticks and stays
I’m trying to make something that takes
your breath away
something that lasts
more than a while
something that lasts
on and on
i’m the kind that shoots
before even aiming
i want my name in lights
in a star set into pavement
i’m holding myself in
bloated like a blowfish
when will i burst?
will anyone notice?
I don’t know
I’m so good at starting things
but I’m less good at finishing
I’m trying to say the truth in a way
It sticks and stays
I’m trying to make something that takes
your breath away
something that lasts
more than a while
something that lasts
on and on
I wanna last
I’m so good at starting things
