Middle Earth

Try that again Slipping my way through the cracks And I hope you don't overreact when my body collapses I've been wandering hoping to find my own place on this planet I've been up in the middle of it, I've been up in the middle of it In the middle earth, I've been nothing but real with you I've been nothing but real with you Slipping my way through the cracks And I hope you don't overreact when my body collapses I've been wandering hoping to find my own place on this planet I've been up in the middle of it, I've been up in the middle of it In the middle earth, I've been nothing but real with you I've been nothing but real with you Till the dirt Is honesty overrated? How many times have I said the same thing in new ways? Start to think it's the way that my life's gonna be And I guess that's ok Wanted to be a grunge singer when I was child Grew up fast and wild Now the crow's feet are crawling all over my face Every time that I smile What you know about being decapitated While your body still rolls around aimlessly? Is there a way for me to face my infinite demons And maintain a sense of stability? Hustling for pennies like I was still fourteen I ain't ready to grow up Just wasn't made for these times Realize I will never blow up and that's fine I'm not Cobain or Cornell or Layne I'm just floating inside my own lane Every word that I'm singing is plain Just hoping that someone out there can relate And there's times when I hate my brain Want to drive directly into trees Think of six million ways to stop breathing When my heart is pounding from the anxiety Every year it gets sadder and fatter Till the point that you realize none of it matters much For the minutes we have on this planet we're seeking love And that's more than enough Call it what you want Call it God, call it your freedom That connection between living beings is a powerful thing And that's real to us Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks And I know she don't love me like that And I know she don't love me like that Not the game nor the lady Maybe neither of them gonna love me back, nah Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks Slipping my way through the cracks And I know she don't love me like that And I know she don't love me like that Not the game nor the lady Maybe neither of them gonna love me back, nah Yo I am a middle child It took me a little while To stop tryna get the approval of others It's better than living life in denial My worst fear's to be middling in my nightmares I'm a kid again And my teacher is asking my chosen career I deceive her 'cause that's what adults want to hear They like doctors, firefighters Not a future that's odd like it's Tyler's It's probably a sign I can't lie through my teeth I was missing my two front incisors But now I sink my canines into sound rhymes Like they steak knives Anxiety tried me, I've died, been revived So I'm trying to hold onto my eight lives And I cannot pretend I could handle it If I ended up in middle management Yeah I have to be fucking with something I love If I'm burning both ends of my candle stick And even then I'm a little carp Busy giving birth to a great tale To my biggest fans I am Joan of Arc Walking middle earth in my chain mail, yea Slipping my way through the cracks And I hope you don't overreact when my body collapses I've been wandering hoping to find my own place on this planet I've been up in the middle of it I've been up in the middle of it In the middle earth, I've been nothing but real with you I've been nothing but real with you Slipping my way through the cracks And I hope you don't overreact when my body collapses I've been wandering hoping to find my own place on this planet I've been up in the middle of it I've been up in the middle of it In the middle earth, I've been nothing but real with you I've been nothing but real with you Till the dirt
