Pedestrian At Best lyrics

I love you, I hate you,

I'm on the fence

It all depends

Whether I'm up, I'm down,

I'm on the mend, transcending all reality

I like you, despise you, admire you

What are we gonna do

When everything all falls through?

I must confess,

I've made a mess

Of what should be a small success,

But I digress,

At least I've tried my very best, I guess

This, that, the other

Why even bother?

It won't be with me on my death bed,

But I'll still be in your head

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint

You tell me I'm exceptional and I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you're a joke but I don't find you very funny

My internal monologue

Is saturated analogue

It's scratched and drifting,

I've become attached to the idea,

It's all a shifting dream bittersweet philosophy

I've got no idea how I even got here

I'm resentful,

I'm having an existential time crisis

What bliss!

Daylight savings won't fix this mess.

Under-worked and over-sexed

I must express my disinterest.

The rats are back inside my head

What would Freud've said?

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint

You tell me I'm exceptional and I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you're a joke but I don't find you very funny

I want to wash out my head with turpentine cyanide;

I dislike this internal diatribe

When I try to catch your eye

I hate seeing you crying in the kitchen

I don't know why it affects me like this

When you're not even mine to consider

Erroneous,

Harmonious,

I'm hardly sanctimonious,

Dirty clothes

I suppose

We all outgrow ourselves

I'm a fake,

I'm a phony,

I'm awake,

I'm alone,

I'm homely,

I'm a Scorpio

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint

You tell me I'm exceptional and I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you're a joke but I don't find you very funny

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint

You tell me I'm exceptional and I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you're a joke but I don't find you very funny
