[Verse 1]

Oh please, don't attempt to placate me

Or decide in advance how the chorus should go

Pure fear is a common theme throughline

Most don't even hope to approach the threshold

An old soul cries like a baby

I still willfully ignorant live

I paint the walls in slim shady

Hell stalls forever whatever it is

It got bad, it got so bad lately

Wildfires underperform centerfolds

To inflate exaggerate greatly

Stoke fear to drive the directionless home

[Chorus]

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

[Verse 2]

Oh please, don't attempt to placate me

Tall Hallmark phrases that roll off the tongue

Reframe a regrettable outcome

Stimulate a forgettable doll when you're done

They're all teeth the cowardly bite me

Imitation, the worst kind of flattery

Kids in cold blood on the bullet train take me

I can kill with my eyes and I'm murdering

[Chorus]

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

[Bridge]

Off that axis, got here solo

Me and my reverse vertigo

Off that axis, got here solo

Me and my reverse vertigo

[Chorus]

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

I thought this was just what everyone did

I thought this was just how everyone lived

[Outro]

Let's go
