How did I end up here again on you?
Would you believe the line of data I went through?
Feed me feed me pieces of your life
But if I see you on the street I won’t say hi
Another click of the mouse I’ll sit and scroll my life away
That’s when it’s time to let go
You’re wasting all your time
But that’s when I say no
I’m plugging in all day and night
So don’t pull me out
Carefully crafted plastic imagery
You’ll only see who I want you to see
Judge me judge me not for who I am
I’m a culmination of my fair-weather friends
Perfect lives generated on computer screens
It’s all a lie so let go
You’re wasting all your time
But that’s when I say no
I’m plugging in all day and night
I’m plugging in and that’s alright
I’m too plugged in don’t pull me out
don’t pull me out
So don’t pull me out

I’ve got a way to fuck things up
You’re an accessory to my head
I said I don’t mind to be declined
But I don’t wanna be
I‘ve got a drug that’ll keep me high
You’re in the way you’re just passing me by
I said I don’t mind to be declined
But I don’t wanna hear
The things you’re saying to me
You’ve really done it this time
I must be out of my mind
To make you feel this way
There’s nothing left to say
Why don’t you answer me?
Because I’ll always let you down
‘Cause I’ve got a way to fuck things up
You’re an accessory to my head
I said I don’t mind to be declined
But I don’t wanna hear
The things you’re saying to me
You’ve really done it this time
I must be out of my mind
To make you feel this way
There’s nothing left to say
Why don’t you answer me?
Because I’ll always let you down
‘Cause I’ve got a way to fuck things up
You’re an accessory to my head
I said I don’t mind to be declined
But I don’t wanna be
Yes I don’t wanna be
Yes I don’t wanna be alone again

Where Did You Go?
02:01

You came into my world at the wrong place and time
Committed on both sides but I can’t help it
The way you look at me, it drives me up the wall
Despite the fall, I’d risk it all for just one night
Where did you go? Where did you go?
I’ve been waiting for so long
The messages received, it’s stoking the fire
Fuel my selfish desire always always
But now you’ve gone away to hunt some other prey
But to this day I swear I’ll find you one more time
Where did you go? Where did you go?
I’ve been waiting for so long
Where did you go? Where did you go?
I’ve been waiting for so long
Where did you go? Where did you go?
I’ve been right here all along

Two weeks is not enough time to make amends and say goodbye
But he never was scared, he never was scared
A life to leave so unprepared
He never looked back or questioned why
He lived his life always ready to die with no regret, no second guess resigning to his fate
So what makes your life complicated?
It’s always overrated
And what right do you have complaining?
You First World baby
Think you’ve got the right to be rude
And walk around like the world owes you
Like you’ve got the time, got all the time
But it could end in the blink of an eye
The doctor said the disease is gone
What are the odds - a million to one, the affliction’s back, you can’t react or tell your kids goodbye
But my boss is making me work weekends
What makes your life complicated?
It’s always overrated
And what right do you have complaining?
You First World baby
No lullaby for you
So what makes your life complicated?
It’s always overrated
And what right do you have complaining?
You First World baby
A stoic mother buried her first son

Heaven it’s so nice to see you again
Tell me how have you been? Loosen up your tie
Reports and deadlines and a weekend stiff drink
Just a day in the life of the new millennial
Caught in the wheel of ideals and credentials
A slow moving wind blowing all my potential
And I’ll never be a big man about town
I’m falling down
Never once
Never tried
This is the last time I look around
Just to find I’ve been deceiving myself
I’m born into this
Heaven it’s so hard just to get out of bed
And pretend that better days are coming ‘round
The life of a chaebol reflecting from the screen
Feed the fantasy of dreams never realized
Caught in the grind watching time slip away
I’ll dream of tomorrow while killing today
I just want to be a big man about town
I’m falling down
Never once
Never tried
This is the last time I look around
Just to find I’ve been deceiving myself
I’m born into this
I want to be of je ne sais quoi potential
And I want to be a vain man with credentials
And I swear I’ll be the next big man in town
And burn every goddamn bridge around me

Gotta find a way out, maelstrom of drowning years
Begging for a tidal wave to wash away my fear
Set a course for the final destination
Fly the winds of my own creation
Clear a path to clear a mind confined to me
What’s left to be
I can’t wait to just to leave and start to live
And time won’t wait to begin, it ticks away
Time is running out, countdown to find the right excuse
Aspiration high, but the light is burning out the fuse
Sick of dreaming high while waking up on the floor
Tired of living with nothing to die for
Either way I gotta get away from here
I swear to god
That I can’t wait to believe in something new
And I won’t waste a thing, a day or night
I’ll close my eyes, dream of lines, Hakone sky’s horizons rise for me
Just for me
I can’t wait just to leave and start to live
And come what may I’ll believe in resolution
Close my eyes, building universes in my mind
Where stars shine bright for me
Just for me

The boy had a dream that was killed overtime
So he found solace in working a 9 to 5
A zombie by morning, he squanders his day
Just to go home to watch zombies on his T.V.
He don’t know this ain’t life
Complacency has its price
The girl disenchanted with her own design
Sold her identity to a collective mind
She speaks to the soundtrack of the city’s sound
But questions her morals when no one’s around
She don’t know how to feel
This identity isn’t real
It’s real to me
They don’t know how to feel
This identity isn’t real
Hiding regrets, I can tell
They’d rather serve in heaven than reign in hell

See them play on stage, they’ve got no heart
Polishing a shit - the finest art
And you could never know the feelings deep inside of me
Behind the onion layers what’s there to see?
You know the time is nigh for the end to the put down of musicians Embrace the frequency I’m sending to you
In between two scenes I don’t belong
I’m not a musician, I just write songs
The more you change a sound around a lie, it goes away
With the intent to invent, you sound the same
It’s time for mutiny, death to all the pseudo-musicians
Embrace the melody - the new unbiased truth
What’s wrong with harmony? Weed out all of the insincere sounds
Open the frequency I’m sending to you
All the time, playing house playing musician
All your life, hiding from the truth
We’ve known it all the time
Losing face like an idiot
We’ve known it all this time

You’re the Best (Doo Ri)

I feel your heartbreak
7000 miles away
Transcending time and every border
Four years of happiness
Don’t mean a thing today
Right now your world just seems much colder
But the world keeps turning
We’re always learning how to smile
Fighting Doo Ri!
Your eyes shine bright like fireflies
Dance through this night Doo Ri
Back and forth we swing on swings
Nothing else matters now
When things were so great
How could he just walk away?
Another question left unanswered
You don't have to wonder why
You’re not the one to blame
Accept the change and take more chances
You might think your love’s a lie
Oh, don’t you fool yourself
You can’t fool me
Your eyes shine bright like fireflies
Dance through this night Doo Ri
Back and forth we swing on swings
Nothing else matters now
The smiles you bring and the love you sing
Make the whole world cheer for you
The life you're living’s just beginning
We’re always winning so just live your life

Leaving Home

Soundtrack of childhood I used to play
Surround me with the memories and love of yesterday
And take away the desensitization
Take away all that’s wrong with me
I can choose to make-believe in a fabricated family, knit tight
Even if it’s all a lie, it comforts me
Rain hits my window of my empty home
Stinging me like memories that left here long ago I
t’s time to go create a new beginning
It’s time to find a new meaning to life
The life is gone from these old rooms
I knew you’d leave but why’d you leave so soon?
Now there’s no reason to stay so get the hell out of my way
Leaving nothing in my wake now that I’m gone
Now I’m gone
Even if it’s all a lie, it comforts me

In My Own Way

I’m a weak man
My life is bleak, man
I don’t know how to do anything, I’m useless
I’m an idiot
Bound for oblivion
Regretful in the ground
A whimper in society that always talks too loud
Let the weak confide in me
I’m whatever you want me to be
I’m a yes man
Of acquiescence
I’m always tired and depressed with excuses
I’m an alien
In a dead land of conditioning
Feral and ignored
No morals, soul, or self-control - forever growing bored
And now there’s no one left around
When your idols let you down
So take the first train out of town to never be found
There must be more to this than what they say
There’s only me in my own way
Little boy, defeated man, better run while you still can
Let the weak cry foul on me
Open wide for all to see
You know you can’t please everyone nor right every wrong
You gotta find your own way
Gotta speak up, gotta find your own way
So think for yourself and go find your own way
And even if I’m wrong, I’ll be wrong in my own way
