I tried to stop reading their posts and watching 'em pose
I’d let 'em off but it controls my highs and my lows
I heard a lot of stories involve the price of their tolls
Still spreading slop up in their nose and in between toes
I’m coughing up quite a few flows might spin a few trolls
Fresh out of luck jammed in the barrel they had to reload
What the fuck have you been doing to get booked at these shows
Nothing much I’ve been too busy tryna lighten the load
Looking silly so really I better peer down at my phone
Nick my achilles put lilies somewhere just before the stone
What’s the dealy sincerely ideally I’d be in the know
Shoulders chilly they're busy peeling the skin up off their nose
Merely heard a theory really it wasn’t even that close
It nearly had em teary when they thought they couldn’t go
Had to check the allegory at a crossing in the road
And then change the category to be sold and never told
That’s the game
Action figures and dealers and seated floor fillers
Plastic ceiling the feeling of being more fearless
After winning your binning the broken parts in him
Always grinning and gettin' the better of the villain
I was busy kidding around with a pew pew sound
They were always sitting me down with the TV up loud
I would partly scribble em out in the pics that i found
They were telling me all about the things that they count
I was sick of hearing about their jobs and their clout
So i took the spit in my mouth let it fly out
Guess it wasn’t good for morale they all fell down
All it took was sprinkles of doubt to make them all frown
Back up on my bullshit I was all in for these clowns
Poking at the hornet tryna stir up summer crowds
Kept it slightly sordid they reported for the town
How when they tried to audit the audio was too foul
I wish could I afford it but the price never go down
They broke it and they bought it but they never wore it out
I said it so I'll sort it you ain’t gotta worry bout
How the product was imported when ya sitting with it now
How did it get there though
Do my fully opposable limbs make me accessible?
Do I have all the makings of something truly incredible?
Plastic coated body mass produce the identical
Partly carbon copy with some moving mechanical parts
Wait for the action start lurking around in the dark
Quicken the beat in your heart trying your best to be calm
Until it stops
They always seem to break when there out of the box
Action figures and dealers and seated floor fillers
Plastic ceiling the feeling of being more fearless
After winning your binning the broken parts in him
Always grinning and gettin' the better of the villain

I know something you don’t know
How to wiggle outta that choke hold
We ain't even in the same post code
Posting up another vain photo
Tearing off the cellophane coat slow
Face against the window big gulp
Sitting tryna trade a bunch a insults
Spit em out to rub em off my insoles
Rubbernecking checking on my kinfolk
Leeching off the bottle as I invoke
All the people that I tried to indulge
Breath needs a double pack of Mentos
Dancing round the topic on our tip toes
Pocketing the change to pay a few tolls
Putting all ya rage into your voice notes
Peaking all the levels that you control
I know you find it kinda fun though
All you really wanted was a cuddle
Someone to wrap you into a bundle
Rock you to sleep and watch as you tumble
Into a dream you started to mumble
What did you see I saw it all crumble
Under the sea i frantically fumbled
Trying to breath but caught a lung full
Filling back up with all of my troubles
Training up all of the wrong muscles
Come on pick up I wanted to tussle
Spilling ya guts out in full frontal
Hearing 'em cut the scene pronto
Half of the team came out sun soaked
Hard to believe it was a shit show
Rain on my parade I'm in my poncho
All they seem to hear is feedback
Pull a puppeteer for chit chat
Got the fear ya think ya need that
Pasting up another copy cat
Wanna be there with the format
Watch 'em become the new doormat
Wait for the call and then fall flat
Watching it pour as I toe tap
They drip you drop the things you're not
You stitch they crop you take your spot
Kick me out the loop I hit the ceiling
Wanna keep me down i see 'em sneering
Wanna sit and stew on all their feelings
Instead I clear the air I started breathing
Getting out there but no one's leaving
They don't really care ain't got a reason
It ain't really fair but no one's cheating
I don’t really wanna have a meeting
All of my conclusions keep leaping
And all of the alarms keep beeping
Very little chance of really sleeping
Guess I gotta stay awake creeping
Please keep it down your interfering
No one here is into volunteering
Hands behind your backs and no cheering
Oh I just thought i was hard of hearing
Guess I'm not guess I got it wrong again
Heard you got a lot but no dividends
People want the spot but wanna second guess
Picking at the locks for the inheritance
I don't want the evidence hanging in my residence
I don't share their sentiments and i don't get their relevance
Any new developments then tell 'em to the elephants
Very little room to be stowing all these skeletons
Too much gloom be seeing any benefits
Let’s not assume that anyone is regretting it
Couple more spoons for forgetting it
Lapping up the medicine
Tasting your own goes well with the venison
Rain on my parade get the umbrellas in
All they seem to hear is feedback
Pull a puppeteer for chit chat
Got the fear ya think ya need that
Pasting up another copy cat
Wanna be there with the format
Watch 'em become the new doormat
Wait for the call and then fall flat
Watching it pour as I toe tap
They drip you drop the things you're not
You stitch they crop you take your spot
