lyrics

I just took an L upon entry,
They were looking at me like sentries.
I just tried to do what they told me.
Only way I see this thing holding.
Searching the badland for easy clout.
I didn't think I'd get large amount.
Tied into rings to get larger house.
Copy cat things and they showed me how.

Complacent. You're compicit now.
Placent. You're complicit.
You're complacent, I could show you how.
This here figure you're chasing
Don't remain when everything's resolved.
These the dreams you're facing.
If my dream were human, it'd be gone.
I'd chase all around but

It wasn't for you anyway, and I done told you anyway.
If you had asked me anyway, I would have told you everything.
She's got a boyfriend anyway. I'll find another one anywhere.
They keep telling me there's fish here.
But I ain't picking up anything.
Yet.

And you will get lost in the badland if you can't relate.
The trends are set up and you back them or you're tardy mate.
I feel the pressure to be 24/7 nice.
I see myself more than my very own bed at night.
Alone.
Is it for me? Or for the watchers? Boy, I hope you're looking.
You can see I'm doing this for your content
Looking to live my best so you think you are...

Complacent. You're compicit now.
Placent. You're complicit.
You're complacent, I could show you how.
This here figure you're chasing
Don't remain when everything's resolved.
This here love you're facing.
If my love were human, it'd be gone.
I'd chase all around but

It wasn't for you anyway, and I done told you anyway.
If you had asked me anyway, I would have told you everything.
She's got a boyfriend anyway. I'll find another one anywhere.
They keep telling me there's fish here.
But I ain't picking up anything.
Yet.

And I've been to places you won't go.
I've seen some things that's you'll never see.
And I will teach the children. 
I will keep them inside.
They'll never be this high.
Even looking looking back with red eyes.
I've lost my pride.
Looking.
And I'll chase all around.
