LYRICS:
i’ve gotten out of bed now, so what more must i do?
the hours lie ahead now, i see them passing through
what’s with all this ado
what’s with all this ado
what’s with all this ado?
i don’t know what you want, i don’t know what you need
i’d say i’ll do my best, but nothing’s guaranteed
‘cause i don’t have the mettle, and i don’t understand
i’m not somebody special, i just do what i can
i just do what i can
inane, obtuse, and hapless, that’s just what i’ve been called
don’t treat me like an atlas, i’m known to drop the ball
the writing’s on the wall
the writing’s on the wall
the writing’s on the wall
i’m letting you decide, so, poorly or not at all?
i don’t take any pride, no, i only take the fall
i try not to recall
i try not to recall
i try not to recall
i don’t know what you want, i don’t know what you need
i’d say i’ll do my best, but nothing’s guaranteed
‘cause i don’t have the mettle, and i don’t understand
i’m not somebody special, i just do what i can
i don’t know what you want, i don’t know what you need
i’m just a lowly cog in this lowly machine
i don’t have any answers, i can’t do what you ask
i’m not up to the standard, i’m not up to the task
i’m not up to the task
i don’t know what i want, i don’t know what i need
i’ve been so many things that i don’t want to be
‘cause i just want to make it, just want to make it out
but i can’t see the future, i only see my doubt
i don’t know what i want, i don’t know what i need
can’t listen to my self-fulfilling prophecy
don’t ask why i produced it, just leave me for the birds
i’m done giving excuses, go looking for the words
go looking for the words

okay i know you said that you think these are some of the dumbest lyrics youve written but i genuinely love them and this whole song a lot.
this ep's collective message is, i think, so important to a lot of people. junkyard eulogy and cheap suits provide such different perspectives on the same theme and this very much does feel like the aftermath to that clash. cheap suits is so overwhelmingly forceful, blunt, and direct. this song really does feel like taking those first steps moving forwards after getting that sort of wakeup call. i love the presence of self doubt and fear, recognizing that you might fail. but still trying regardless.
and i think maybe i love dumb lyrics and callbacks. just maybe.

i ascended at the second chorus and actually transcended at the outro this is so freaking good
despite of you saying this has such a dumb lyrics i really love love love the sincerity in this one... this ep feels like it came out when i needed smth like this the most and i appreciate it a lot :,)
