Without being upfront

I'm coming up short

The frame doesn't quite fit

The things I want you to know

I could fight it

But would I risk being so un-confided

I think I'll just leave it alone

I drown my words in convolution so they come out

Not how I wanted but at least I got the tone down

I check the mirrors like who else is on the same route

I'm stuck in mono while they're mixing in surround sound

It's praise but it's fraud, I'm still burning jobs

I won't spend my money on some shit that I don't want

Is this the final void? Am I just paranoid?

Either way I'm calling it

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For thе last time, for the last time

For thе last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

Watching the ticker increasing worked for a minute

Fried my receptors by taking a rain check

I'm clawing at the walls now, when they break

Ideally I'll be stable, and unfazed

But the fact that you can hear me means it's too late

It's probably greed, just hand it to me

I'm saying it

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

My desperation left me incarcerated

Equally unfounded and sincere

If it's about perception and not fame

I'm reeling back the progress that I made

Accounting for a stand-in, not the real thing

So try as I might, you know it's a lie

When I say

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time

For the last time, for the last time
