Flunk (Deprise)

I've hit the wall
Now all I can do is beg for its mercy
I feel like everything I worked for is in vain
Why are things set up this way
I feel I'll never understand the structure of a world
Where hard work means everything and nothing
Where everything you work for is in vain
And the lottery exists in the first place
Oh, and it's so beautiful
But I feel destined to reside
On spiked benches and suicidal sweat
That feels embedded in my skin again
That feels embedded in my skin again
"I don't know" is all I've been able to say
If I was flipped inside out I'd be screaming
Every single second of the day
I feel like everything I worked for is in vain
Why are things set up this way

G Gsus4 D7 Em9
Call you on the phone just to let you know
Cm G
I am trying
G B G B
I need to call up my doctor to let him know
Cm G
I am dying
F#m E A
Cause I'm terrified that this will be the end
Cm G
Cause I'm terrified that this will be the end
F#m E A F#m
D E A
D Bm A
And it's such a big life
D Bm E
You get to share it with your friends
G B Am F3
But when all of them are miles away, or gone after you've said
Cm G
One sentence
F#m E A F#m
I'm in charge of reality again
D E A F#m
Don't give me this power God, for I'm incompetent
F#m E A
Cause I'm terrified that this will be the end
Cm G
Cause I'm terrified that this will be the end
G Gsus4 D7 Em9
And so I called you on the phone just to let you know
Cm G
I am trying
G B G B
I need to call up my doctor to let him know
Cm G
I am dying

Makin' Waves
01:42
|
|||
What's the answer?
Cursing God, destined to hell
In the shower
I got over
Exploding
Now I overload and build
Slowly
It's a sea of people making waves
Corner-bound, honestly a waste of space
Where do I find worth among the worthful
How do I open my mouth?

I Feel Stupid
01:36
|
|||
C F Am G
I feel stupid
Talking isn't
Worth it's weight at all
Big red X's have no effect anymore
I've already lost
F C G Am
Can I owe every action
To the things that I've taken
Chocolate drizzle starbucks and my medication
F C G
Where do I have space to think
In these squishy city streets
C G Am F
I got hit by a car today
The same car that hits me every day
F C Am F G
I tried bright flashy clothes
I tried looking both ways
Now I feel stupid
C F Am G
I feel stupid
They've all got heat vision
I sweat on command from transparent decisions
I feel stupid
She calls me this name I can't for the life of me change
F C G Am
Can I owe all my happiness
To things I've mistaken
For kindness, a smile as defensive reaction
F C G
Where do I have space to think
In these squishy city streets

Try This
01:39
|
|||
I just want to fit in anywhere
Anywhere but here
Keeping my mouth closed, doing things I don't know how to
I'm allowed one breakdown a year
And I don't know if I can handle
Information from every little angle
Do this! Do that! Medicine or natural defense
And I am flying off the handle
Trying everything for normalcy
Do this! Do that! Try me!
I just want people to like me
Anywhere but here
Keeping my mouth closed, doing things I don't know how to
I end up doing nothing out of fear
And I don't know if I can handle
Information from every little angle
Do this! Do that! Medicine or natural defense
And I am flying off the handle
Trying everything for normalcy
Do this! Do that! Try me!

G C x3 D x2 D7
G D G
We want you to work till you die
C D G
Isolate and make friends at the same time
G D G Am
"Never let your sadness hold you back"'s not motivation
C D G
It sets standards, sets them high
Am D G C
I grow from the people that I meet
Am D G D
Not trying to impress authority
Am D G C
I grow from the people that I meet
Am D G
I've been thrown into machine after machine

And you'll tell me I didn't even try
Am D G
And you'll keep asking, keep asking me why
D C G C
As simple as I can put it, I'll tell you why
Am D G
Refer to the chorus above and below this line
Am D G C
I grow from the people that I meet

Not trying to impress authority

Praying For...
01:18
|

G
G F3 Am C
If you want to get to me
I suggest a note
Am D
Stapled to my forehead
Em Am F G
I'm losing my memory
I'm really slipping up
I feel a disconnection
Can't get close enough to touch
Am D G
You try to help me through God
And it's not working
You try to help me through God
And it's not working
Am D
Did you pray for my grades?
F3 C
Or did you pray for something else?
Am D G
I pray every day to myself
G F3 Am C
And I hope that it's enough
Am D
Em Am F G
Am D G
You try to help me through God
And it's not working

Tiny Rainbow
01:18
|

Tiny rainbow on the sidewalk in the rain
It'll wash away
I'll be impressed if it lasts until the end of the weekend
Move into The Little House in Shepherdstown
And they'll take pictures of my insides every day
They want to live in me
I'll eat my shoes that I've walked in for so long I can chew them
Bury yourself in the ground, grow into a tree somehow
Tiny rainbow on the sidewalk in the rain
It'll wash away

Wearing a skirt for the first time in public
I feel oddly free in my nervousness
Staring aside, I'll wait at the bakery
Some girl said to me that she liked my outfit
And I hope you do too
So we'll go to the crystal shop
Finding connections through spending our money on what some say is junk
We'll go to the record shop
I'll buy a sweater that I'll never fit into not for a million bucks
I just hope you're okay with it all

I live in Febreze
I live in a sea of trash
Do I deserve more, or do I deserve less
The sheets are off the bed
I stopped fixing it, I chose less
I feel diseased
When I get out of bed
I have assignments past due, I chose to deserve less
Every god is following me
Looking down on me
Till I'm dead
The sheets are off the bed
I stopped fixing it, I chose less

Capo 5
Emaj7 A E F4
They're texting me, wanna say that I'm in class
But I'm not, I'm in the bathroom, skipping at least half cause
F#m A E
It's been a bad day
It's been a bad day already
Am F4 F#m A
I should be sleeping on the floor
I'm not worthy to touch you, cause
F#m A E
It's been a bad day
It's been a bad day already
F4 F#m A E
Stare at every mirror I see
Waiting for a change eventually
Am F4 F#m A
I go outside to do bare minimum
I go inside to hide from the bare minimum, cause
F#m A E
It's been a bad day
It's been a bad day already

Tower of Babel

Capo 1
G Bm7 C
You make me feel so small
G Bm7 Am
You make me feel so small
G Bm7 F Am D
My tiny little destiny, you made it all
C Am G
By pointing with your middle finger
Pointing with your middle finger
G Bm7 C
This tower would never reach heaven
G Bm7 Am
We spoke different tongues
G Bm7 F Am D
At this rate, I won't make it halfway, so I'll sharpen my lungs
C Am G
In preperation for the yelling match to come
In preperation for the yelling match to come
C Bm7 Am F
Duh
C Am G
By pointing with your middle finger
Pointing with your middle finger
G Bm7 C
"I want to manage Little Caesar's"
G Bm7 Am
"I want to raise five kids"
G Bm7 F Am D
I thought I could just do anything when I was a little kid
C Am G
And now you hold me to my childish standards
And now you hold me to my innocent standards

Grow a pair of fucking balls, you don't hear this bitching from normal adults
So grow a pair of fucking balls, and dedicate your life to a terrible job
Where everything you work for is in vain
Why are things set up this way
