John Egbert

[Verse 1] You, with your literal knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feelin' like a nothing You, with your silent stares like a beacon Faking me out in a strife now You, pickin' on the weaker man

[Pre-Chorus] Well, you can take me down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know

[Chorus] Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

[Verse 2] You, with your stupid shades And your smuppet shit and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my eyes wide, trying not to hide 'Cause your puppet shit’s freaky I just wanna feel okay for once

[Pre-Chorus] I bet you got neglected too Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now 'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know what you don't know

[Chorus] Someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

[Bridge] And I can see you now that I'm in the game Laying limp on the cold hard ground With that same smug, quiet judgement, but nobody's listening Beat up and knocked down about being the hero again And I’m a little sad about how I lost you But all you are is mean

[Buildup] All you are is mean And a douchebag, and abusive And alone in life, and mean And mean, and mean, and mean

[Chorus] But someday, I'll leave this high-rise for a different city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be strong enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

Help me alchemize, help me alchemize

Warned you bout

Those stairs is where I'll be fallin to the bottom

Help me alchemize, help me alchemize

Help me out

My friends and I, we've got a lot of problems

You know that I’m stunting

On them I am fronting

My life, all I make is a loop, a loop, a loop, oh

I wanted to be a better brother, better son

Wanted to see a better consequence to the hard work I have done

There is none to show to the ones I love

But a loop, a loop, a loop, oh

Those stairs is where I'll be fallin to the bottom

Help me alchemize, help me alchemize

My friends and I, we've got a lot of problems

Alchemize is making your making your devices

Separating them, adding them up doing bitwise

-es deciding how to fly and deciding how to fight

A loop, a loop, a loop, oh

I wanted to be a better brother, better son

Wanted to see a better consequence to the hard work I have done

There is none to show to the ones I love

But a loop, a loop, a loop, oh

Help me alchemize, help me alchemize

Warned you bout

Those stairs is where I'll be fallin to the bottom

Help me alchemize, help me alchemize

Help me out

My friends and I, we've got a lot of problems

We have problems

Angel de la muerte, nothing left to scare me

I’ll catch some Unreal Air

It’s much better than flying, flying

Angel de la muerte, nothing left to scare me

[Dave:] When I popped off, then your troll gave me just a little bit of lockjaw Baby so cold, he from space, he from Alternia Bankroll so low, I got nothing else that I can withdraw Ran out the door I shine my shades they go like shashasha shashasha I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala I shine my shades they go like shashasha, shashasha I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala How I strider like that

When I popped off, then your troll gave me just a little bit of lockjaw Baby so cold, he from space, he from Alternia Bankroll so low, I got nothing else that I can withdraw Ran out the door I shine my shades they go like shashasha shashasha I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala I shine my shades they go like shashasha, shashasha I got your troll singing like lalala, lalala How I strider like that

Haha, I'm at the bank again They wonder how, how I stunt like that Turntables with flames all on the sides They wonder how, how I strider like that Got that red suit on my body, now she tryna pipe me, woo Popped into another time loop, loopy boy, I keep you cool Got the god tier, kept my cool Be careful who you callin' a fool Ayy, ha, ayy

Am I more than she bargained for yet? I've been trying to get just anywhere she wants to be But she'll see through who I am this week

Stuck in the lab, alone with these fucking movies Guess I deserve the cold shoulder for talkin' to Jade all that time (Deserve the cold shoulder for talkin' to Jade all that time)

Drop her heart, play with Spades And now she's falling for some hipster, 'cause he's not me!

We're goin' down, down And I'm countin' down 'til the ride on this meteor's over Growing up, and soon I can show it A Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

Down, down, and I'm counting down 'Til there's no more for me to get over Growing up, and soon I can show it A Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

Is this more than we bargained for yet? Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching marathons of rom-coms Wishing that I could be just fine like them

Isn't it messed up, how I'm just dyin' to be him? But I guess I deserve it, for fucking this up from the start (Guess I deserved this, for fucking this up from the start)

All this blood, all this pain I don't want to be a threshercutioner either

We're goin' down, down, and I'm counting down 'Til the ride on this rock is over Growin' up, and soon I can show it I'll be a Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

We're goin' down, down, and I'm counting down 'Til there's no more for me to get over Growin' up, and soon I can show it I'll be a Knight of Blood godtier, before you know it!

Down, down, and I'm still counting down 'Til the ride on this rock is over Growin' up, and soon I can show it I'll be a Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

We're goin' down, down, and I'm still counting down 'Til there's no more for me to get over Growing up, and soon I can show it I'll be a Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

We're goin' down, down (Down, down) We're goin' down, down (Down, down) We're goin' down, down (Down, down) A Knight of Blood godtier before you know it!

Three years I've spent on this rock, Cursing the stars in my abyss I self prophesied my despair If only myself to blame for it

Some people say trials like these Show you who really is a friend That's why I promised myself I'd never be ruled by this again

I wonder why you are the only exception…

You are the only exception (x3)

Baby, I know somewhere, Deep in my soul, These things never last..

I just have to find other ways To make it alone or keep a Brave face..

And I always lived like this Keeping a comfortable Distance…

And up until now, Could've sworn That i was content with loneliness (because none of it was worth the risk)

You are the only exception (x4)

I like to think I've got a tight grip on reality (Tight grip on reality)

I try to focus on the things that I have left (Whoa)

I know that in your heart I'm only his replacement (I'm only his replacement)

But there's a special place in mine for my only friend (Whoa)

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are (The only exception!)

You are the only exception (x4)

And I'm on my way to accepting…
