lyrics

My standards are too high, so I just choose to ignore them
mediocrity is fine because at least it cures the boredom
we all get old and die someday, wither and rot and waste away
and when we're all laid in our graves, who cares what decisions I've made

It doesn't matter what we've had to say
because we don't hold the pens and pencils erase

I don't know what I'm doing...
I think I'm just chasing happiness
perhaps I'm perpetually discontent
or maybe I'm just sick of this
or didn't try to begin with, so
I'll just take what I can get
pretend its what I've always wanted
I'll just give in and get good at lying to myself

It doesn't matter what we've had to say
because we don't hold the pens and pencils erase

I'll tell you a secret...
everything is perfect, if you just ignore it
so lets all just drop it, there's no need to talk about it
lets all just drop it, no one needs reminded
lets all just drop it, no one wants to talk about it
lets all just drop it, no one wants reminded
lets all just drop it, I don't want to talk about it,
lets all just drop it, I don't want reminded

We all get old and die someday, wither and rot and waste away
and when we're all laid in our graves who cares what decisions I've made

Everything we do and say will slowly erode away
because we don't hold the pens and pencils erase

So why even bother
none of this matters

Complacency is so easy, so very appealing
complacency is so easy, and we won't have to do a thing
So won't you come cower beside me
let's all keep hiding
won't you turn a blind eye with me
lets all surrender to apathy
because complacency is so easy, so very appealing
complacency is so easy, won't you come join me
complacency is so easy, oh all it might cost you is your dignity
but that's ok, I heard these days
that's all coming cheap
