Social Distancing Since Birth (Chemistry)

Ain't That the Way it Goes?

Mutilation
I'd never give it up at all
I am a lazy cynic that has become so jaded
I watch the Soft Parade
While I'm somewhere deep in shade
I can't begin to know why I feel so wasted

Well, ain't that the way these things seem to go?
But let's ignore my past
Let's go to the movies if we can find one
Though I can't talk when I'm losing my mind
I can show
I'm not too numb to know
I've learned to take things well
But I don't have the guts
I can't convince myself
That I'll find something real
'Cause that's just the way it feels

Situations
They stay the same and then they change
The only constant is that I'm fucking faded
I'm bleeding from my eyes
Lately it happens when I'm high
Feelings I sometimes loved but I mostly hated

Well, ain't that the way these things seem to go?
I've gotta hold that back
I'll choke all my pride down if I can find it
And try not to mind if we can't get high
Just to show
I've had some time to grow
I might still seem unwell
It isn't perfect yet
But I hope you can tell
That I've learned how deal
But that's not the way it feels
I can't escape
I know just how you feel

Disappointment
That's all I offer after all
I just might be too stoned to show any effort
Running from my mind
Because it's always so unkind
Happens all the time

Well, ain't that the way these things seem to go?
I wanna paint it black
And turn on the blender where I've been hiding
It's not your fault that I'm losing my mind
It's a joke
I'm overcome with smoke
Trust me, I take things well
There's nothing I can chance
There's nothing I can't tell
Now you know how I feel
So, I'm gonna keep it real
