Lyrics
i buzzed my head
so you could read my thoughts
while we stood next to that oil painting of fighter jets
i got a virus and it distorts
every choice from here on out
and all of what comes next
i hear you laughing at some inside joke
you only make noise now behind closed doors
out of sight of me and your folks
well fair is fair i did say leave me alone
i'm social like postal
anecdotal or in total
i've said all i wanted to say
i'm social like postal
anecdotal or in total
i've said all i wanted to say
today
hang myself with messy ties
bet your hands on everything working out
but how can anything ever be fine
i only give reason to doubt
and oh i have such woolen doubts
no way everything can ever be fine
i bet my hands on everything falling apart
hung myself with the messiest of ties
i'm social like postal
anecdotal or in total
i've said all i wanted to say
i'm social like postal
anecdotal or in total
i've said all i wanted to say
today
this is a message
this is a statement
teach me a lesson
i just can't be patient
this is a message
this is a statement
teach me a lesson
i just can't be patient
