Welcome to my self-obsessed fixation
Here our first impression is never calculated
Mmmmm
We never judge at all, we never judge at all, when it’s self-allocated
Photos are our kings, but we’re faceless when we speak
Mmmmm
Now I’m on my high and mama I lied you were right
Mmmm
I don’t wanna be alone
But I won't do anything about it
Everyone is saying something, but no one’s got nothin' to say
We trade tomorrow for today
Word by word we’re feeding the flame, and when it ignites we’ll think, “today of all days”
Welcome to our land of poor tendencies
The wisest seniority know they’re just as guilty
Mmmm
We’re always counting characters but we’re never reading
Caffeine to wake me, and alcohol to fall asleep
Mmmm
And I’m on my 15th cup, I think I’ve had enough
Constantly falling in love with being in love
Everyone is saying something, but no one’s got nothin to say
We trade tomorrow for today
Word by word we’re feeding the flame, and when it ignites we’ll think, “today of all days”
