I'm so tired of mediocrity, it's where I live, it sits inside of me I cannot escape what the world has chosen to be I'm just too old to be living in misery Why won't you come to take me on? I don't want to pretend to like it here anymore I'm crying, I'm begging, heart's open to the core I cannot pretend anymore I wake each day to the sound of exhaust Of rising cars and sleepers on the streets I'm one bounce track away from cold concrete And I'm just too old to be living in misery Why won't you come to take me on? I don't want to pretend to like it here anymore I'm crying, I'm begging, heart's open to the core I cannot pretend anymore I'm going to stop wasting life Born to remove what I despise It means burning my ears and burning my eyes That's what I hope, I think, that's what I hope, I think Why won't you come to take me on? I don't want to pretend to like it here anymore I'm crying, I'm begging, heart's open to the core I cannot pretend anymore Why won't you come to take me on? I don't want to pretend to like it here anymore I'm crying, I'm begging, heart's open to the core I cannot pretend anymore I cannot pretend anymore
