Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, Mr. Cage Man, let me get a fresh breath
Cherry bomb, head strong, I can fake my own death
Hey, Mr. Fate Man, shuffle me a ninth life
I've been wrong, go along, throwin' me a sharp right
[Verse 2]
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line
[Verse 3]
I've got this place that I've filled with empty space
So I'm tryin' not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hopin' just to place
So I'm tryin' not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus
[Verse 4]
Hey, Mr. Safe Man, hustle me an okay
I could slide, take a dive, take it for the home team
Hey, Mr. Postman, slip me one more green note
I've been low, hit the floor, lookin' just to make broke
[Verse 5]
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line
[Verse 6]
I've got this place that I've filled with empty space
So I'm tryin' not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place
So I'm trying not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus
[Verse 7]
Hey Mr. C-, hey, hey mister, hey Mr. Cage Man
Cherry bomb
Let me ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
[Verse 8]
I've got this place that I've filled with empty space
So I'm tryin' not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hopin' just to place
So I'm tryin' not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus
