lyrics
Don’t like awkward silences
I’d rather blend into the crowd
Loud places are the death of me
One day I’ll make you proud
Quoting is my hobby
I’m really quite some guy
Weirdness over wisdom
Makes it hard for you to try
Work men don’t want me
Too complex for this world
Nobody understands my life
Or the path that I chose
Failure that I’m known to most
Potential is sky high
Guidance was my problem
Made me sink instead of fly
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Thrown out this New Year’s Day
For acting like a child
Drugs and university
Have made me go wild
Old and incoherent with
An eccentric point of view
Harmless and untypical
Wearing skater shoes
Living in a council world
Where money isn’t true
Walking home late at night
Through all the bins and spew
This ballad is a tragedy
Of how life is unfair
This brain among the brainless
Has left me with despair
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Quarter age breakdown
Leaving home
Has only left me on my own
Student of idiots
Far away now
Sold myself
To the boring crowd
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
This is why I’m never fine
This is why I’m never fine
This is why I’m never fine
This is why I’m never fine
Oh yeah
