CALM. - Treat Me Like A Villain lyrics

rate me

Calm, stay calm, just stay calm

People play every show like it's their first

I play it like it's my last

Cobain told me to stick with music, he said it was a blast

Don't come up to talking without your mouth moving, I'll know it's merely a mask

Cause everyone's fake, I feel like I'm walking through a wax museum

It's funny how everyone has idols but they'll never be them (be your own)

Every day's a circular step closer to the climax of your dreams

Goals are affirmations and people are discouraging (so discouraging)

Fear is doing something you're not suppose to

Success is letting yourself float with the current

Staying with the people you're close to

Friends are time bombs, green with envy and red on the inside like a watermelon

Everyone I grew up with patronizes me like a superhero then treats me like a villain

But only vampires wear capes, only pharaohs are fed grapes

And only liars believe the truth

All the Lois Lanes I tried to save died so now god locked all the phone booths

I tried to run from my problems but my head was with me the whole time

So I'm looking for a guillotine that doesn't have a 2 hour line

When I punch in I'm a part-time monkey washing floors and taking orders like a robot

When I punch out I'm a parking ticket collector who brags about all the doe he's got

All the nothing I got

I'm not a super hero by any means

I'm an average Samaritan with doubts who likes to sing

(AwareNess: So I told him, you know

I'm just another american caught in between inspiration and depression)

I'm just another American caught in between

Inspiration and depression in front of a canvas

With no brush trying to paint his dream

But all I do is bitch about how I can't find my niche

While standing in a treeless forest holding a battle axe

Hate is a virus and it destroys habitats

Gossip is contagious, here's some shut the fuck up pills, have a pack

I'm just trying to do what makes me happy, hoping to unravel some paths

Giving opinions the 32 degree shoulder, mutilating manikins murdering certainty

And stabbing the facts, with AwareNess' knife

Keep running, the last guy that turned around found a javelin in his mask

I found anti-smiles on my mask

Now they say

Beauties on the inside but most humans are hollow

Tears on my blue face

Fear in my suit case

Give me a kiss, Chris I'll be gone by tomorrow

I'm disgraced from face to shoelace, my shadow won't even follow

And I know, that things will get better someway somehow and I smile

Cause I can see you clearly now

If love is blind then hate has 20/20 vision

So let's give all the homeless glasses and all the teachers contacts

(AwareNess: Sometimes I'm scared so I ditch all my classes watching time fade)

So they can see their paychecks and every student in their overfilled classes

There's a smile under these lips and mind behind these bloody nostrils

Every day's a waking dream making the past a nightmare of fossils

No man is an island but I'm a peninsula surrounded by grief

Cry me an ocean or cry me a creek, drown me in your river

Cry me a planet then cry for relief

I've seen people smile so much their cheeks ache

Sometimes I stare long enough to watch until it decays

People are crops and humans are locust so...

Love is hopeless

Nothing is hopeless except smiles blood and...

Goals are the blueprints towards your dreams

But I ran out of bricks now passion is my cement

Every architect is my role model

I was happy being the captain 'til I found out we were trapped inside this bottle

(smile and choke on yourself)
