Lyrics

I’m laying low life
And I break up standing still
I got a plate in my head full of crap
I’m a landfill

(You didn’t understand)
I’m not talking now
(You didn’t understand)
But I know you will

I’ve been repairing
It’s a talent
But I had enough of that
I kept waiting, unwise

I kept waiting for a little tap
(You didn’t understand)
Or a little “hey”
(You didn’t understand)
Why can’t you settle for that?

You can’t
But it’s hell that’s where you’re at

I’m laying low life
You’re standing still
I got a plate in my head
I’m a landfill

(You didn’t understand)
I’m not talking now
(You didn’t understand)
But I know you will

Well I’ll be cuddling floors like a lowlife
And when I run through the door like a lowlife
