[Verse 1]
A#m7
6AM, sound the alarm again, I wish that I was stronger
D#m7
But I guess I'm blasting "跳者" just a couple minutes longer
G# C#
Roll my sleeves up, lace my sneaks up, before the weeks up, I gotta relax
A#m7
But the fact is I'm a slave to so called "fat stacks"
And that's not all, as tall as I feel some days
D#m7
I know that a "job that pays"
G#
Can put the food on the table, but starve out the soul
A# thirst that you can't slake
C#
But every minute that I'm late is 25 cents that I won't make
A#m7
Fronting every day like I'm not the jealous type
D#m7
I envy ordinary folks with no direction in life
G#
I see 'em all the time, benеath the streetlights after midnight
C#
Girls and boys, city noise, glowing in black light
A#m7
Feeling likе I'm missing out on "spice of existence"
D#m7
But it's not the kinda flavor I sip on, for instance:
G#
Toking, joking, wasting time, lost in liquor lost in
C# A#m7
Line 'em up side by side, can't tell the difference if you try, am I right?
And despite all the mess, they're foolish, but happy
D#m7
Exactly everything I wanted for me, but you see I'm torn because
G#
From time to time I wonder what the hell is waiting for me
C#
If I cashed all my ambition in for Netflix and a Forty
A#m7
The scene that I dreamed of being in
D#m7
The grass I told myself was greener on the other side
G#
Still in the back of my mind
Downtown surround-sound commotion and haze
C#
I guess I'll view it all in motion through a half-lidded gaze...
[Chorus]
A#m7
Watching the world outside move in a jagged line
D#m7
I'm probably just a little crazy 'cause I sure don't mind
G#
I gotta spend my days behind a store-front window
C#
'Cause ya can't keep wishing for an "over the rainbow"
A#m7
The "birds that fly" are leaving chemtrails in the sky
D#m7 G#
Not at all surprising that I might die trying to fly away
C#
To another time and place, an escapist till the end of my days
A#m7
But I'm just thinking aloud again
[Post-Chorus]
D#m7
Thinkin'... Dreamin'... Yume wo mieru
G# C#
I'm thinkin'... Dreamin'... Yume wo mieru
[Verse]
A#m7 D#m7
Thinkin' that I hate my thoughts- they love K, they don't know "Scott"
They know fame, they don't know not
G#
They don't know better, but I do
C#
This the same kid who couldn't graduate high school
A#m7
This the same dude they call "otaku,"
D#m7
Label me a "nerd," don't see the pain I've been through
G#
Wish I was like you too, then I wouldn't mind
C#
Wish I knew how to speak my mind without these rhymes
A#m7
See the days add up, the math is simple now
D#m7
Divide the bounds, multiply love and add your sound
G#
Obscene amounts of doubt block the clouds, but
C#
The spectrum still visible, watch it from my cubicle
[Chorus]
A#m7
Watching the world outside move in a jagged line
D#m7
I'm probably just a little crazy 'cause I sure don't mind
G#
I gotta spend my days behind a store-front window
C#
'Cause ya can't keep wishing for an "over the rainbow"
A#m7
The "birds that fly" are leaving chemtrails in the sky
D#m7 G#
Not at all surprising that I might die trying to fly away
C#
To another time and place, an escapist till the end of my days
A#m7
But I'm just thinking aloud again
