Bacteria

lyrics

Hello
Can you come out to play?
JK, that's not something I would say
I barely walk out the door on a good day

Hello
What did you do today?
The same, my head is up in flames
It's been a while since I had a good break

I'm always running around in my legs
But inside I got nothing going on
I tell myself to just pick up my head
It can join in on the marathon

My right side says to enjoy what I got
My left side says not to get too comfortable
I can't stand when they do that
Gotta make 'em stand back

They asked me
How's it feel to be an adult now
Question of the day now
Think about how much
I can get away with
Ask me
How's it feel to be an adult now
Hurts just a little with a big regret
But I guess I'm not dead yet


Hello
Have you opened your eyes?
Surprise, you have trouble on the mind
You haven't seen the big picture in a long time

Hello
Is it moving too fast?
Too bad, get with it while you can
There's tons of arms lending a hand

A taller spine and ears to listen close
A quick-talking mouth for my next excuse
I try to break for it but then I stop right at the end
Cause I just haven't learned how to choose

Clock can't stop so I can't either
It's unnerving to grow it all up
One foot at a time's not easy
But sometimes its enough

They asked me
How's it feel to be an adult now
(How's it feel, how's it feel, how)
(To be an adult now)
Question of the day now
Think about how much
I can get away with
Ask me
How's it feel to be an adult now
(How's it feel, how's it feel, how)
(Does it get better from now)
It's getting better, hurts a little less
And I hope I'm not stuck yet


Hello
What did you do today?
Was it great?

Hello
Can you come out to play?
JK


But today
If I try a little harder
Maybe I could find a way
To break past my sense of complacency
My mind is getting foggy
And my energy's all out
There's a point where there's nothing left but doubt

But inside
There's a pressure that I feel
Am I pushing way too hard?
My nerves are no longer steel
If I need fulfillment it might be time for new criteria
I just don't wanna die in my bacteria

But today
(Hello)
If I try a little harder
(Can you come out to play?)
Maybe I could find a way
(JK)
To break past my sense of complacency
(That's not something I would say)
My mind is getting foggy
(I barely walk out the door)
And my energy's all out
(On a good day)
There's a point where there's nothing left but doubt

But inside
(Hello)
There's a pressure that I feel
(What did you do today?)
Am I pushing way too hard?
(The same)
My nerves are no longer steel
(My head is up in flames)
If I need fulfillment it might be time for new criteria
(It's been a while since I had a good break)
I just don't wanna die in my bacteria
