[Verse 1]

Here I am, staring at the ceiling

Wondering if I was the man I said I was

Break my curse, curate a picture

So, if my structure resets, I’ll be gone


[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I sealed my fate, write me off

Always fighting the numbers, they’re bound to go up

And I’ll keep it vague, talking shit

Well my compass is polar, my psyche is guiding it


[Chorus]

My fear’s a great disguise

A postmodern fiction compromise

I hate the feeling of waiting for something new

Heroes in stories I never wrote

Ashamed of a fate I wish I could own

No sudden moves

No sudden moves

No sudden moves


[Verse 2]

Clarity, unreasonably quiet

Try to analyze the signs on the road


[Breakdown]

Slow down, merely steps from beginning

Stop the conscious decisions and pointless revisions I hate


[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I’ll set this straight, swing and miss

Put a drop in the bucket, I can’t even carry in

And I make mistakes, scrolling down

Everyone’s got their demons, but mine’s sowing seeds of doubt


[Chorus]

My fear’s a great disguise

A postmodern fiction compromise

I hate the feeling of waiting for something new

Heroes in stories I never wrote

Ashamed of a fate I wish I could own

No sudden moves

No sudden moves

No sudden moves

No sudden moves

No sudden moves
