Treat Me Like a Villain

Calm, stay calm, just stay calm
 People play every show like it's their first
 I play it like it's my last
 Cobain told me to stick with music, he said it was a blast
 Don't come up to talking without your mouth moving
 I'll know it's merely a mask
 Cause everyone's fake, I feel like I'm
 Walking through a wax museum
 It's funny how everyone has idols but they'll never
 Be them be your own
 Every day's a circular step closer to the climax of your dreams
 Goals are affirmations and people
 Are discouraging so discouraging
 Fear is doing something you're not suppose to
 Success is letting yourself float with the current
 Staying with the people you're close to
 Friends are time bombs, green with envy
 And red on the inside like a watermelon
 Everyone I grew up with patronizes me
 Like a superhero then treats me like a villain
 But only vampires wear capes
 Only pharaohs are fed grapes
 And only liars believe the truth
 All the Lois Lanes I tried to save died
 So now god locked all the phone booths
 I tried to run from my problems but
 My head was with me the whole time
 So I'm looking for a guillotine that doesn't
 Have a two hour line
 When I punch in I'm a part-time monkey
 Washing floors and taking orders like a robot
 When I punch out I'm a parking ticket collector
 Who brags about all the doe he's got
 All the nothing I got
 I'm not a super hero by any means
 I'm an average Samaritan with doubts who likes to sing
 So I told him, you know
 I'm just another American caught
 In between inspiration and depression
 I'm just another American caught in between
 Inspiration and depression in front of a canvas
 With no brush trying to paint his dream
 But all I do is bitch about how I can't find my niche
 While standing in a treeless forest holding a battle axe
 Hate is a virus and it destroys habitats
 Gossip is contagious
 Here's some shut the fuck up pills, have a pack
 I'm just trying to do what makes me happy
 Hoping to unravel some paths
 Giving opinions the 32 degree shoulder
 Mutilating manikins murdering certainty
 And stabbing the facts, with Awareness knife
 Keep running, the last guy that turned
 Around found a javelin in his mask
 I found anti-smiles on my mask
 Now they say
 Beauties on the inside but most humans are hollow
 Tears on my blue face
 Fear in my suit case
 Give me a kiss, Chris I'll be gone by tomorrow
 I'm disgraced from face to shoelace, my shadow won't even follow
 And I know, that things will get better someway somehow and I smile
 Cause I can see you clearly now
 If love is blind then hate has 20 20 vision
 So let's give all the homeless glasses and all the teachers contacts
 Sometimes I'm scared so I ditch all my classes watching time fade
 So they can see their paychecks
 And every student in their overfilled classes
 There's a smile under these lips and a
 Mind behind these bloody nostrils
 Every day's a waking dream making the past a nightmare of fossils
 No man is an island but I'm a peninsula surrounded by grief
 Cry me an ocean or cry me a creek, drown me in your river
 Cry me a planet then cry for relief
 I've seen people smile so much their cheeks ache
 Sometimes I stare long enough to watch until it decays
 People are crops and humans are locust so.
 Love is hopeless
 Nothing is hopeless except smiles blood and
 Goals are the blueprints towards your dreams
 But I ran out of bricks now passion is my cement
 Every architect is my role model
 I was happy being the captain til
 I found out we were trapped inside this bottle
 Smile and choke on yourself
