Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please, please, please
No more melodies
They lack impact
They're petty
They've been made up already
[Verse 2]
Please, please, please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
And you can hear our sad brains screaming
[Verse 3]
"Give us something familiar
Something similar to what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady
Steady going nowhere"
[Verse 4]
Please, please, please
No apologies
At best, they buy you time
'Til you next step out of line
[Verse 5]
Please, please, please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess, but it's working
And maybe, if you wanna try it out
You won't like it so, when you're crying out
[Verse 6]
"Give us something familiar
Something similar to what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady going nowhere"
[Verse 7]
Please, please, please
No more melodies
They lack impact
They're petty
They've been made up already
[Verse 8]
Please, please, please
No more maladies
I'm so tired of crying
You'd think I was a siren
But me and everybody's on the sad same team
And you can hear our sad brains screaming
[Verse 9]
"Give us something familiar
Something similar to what we know already
That will keep us steady
Steady, steady
Steady
Steady going nowhere"
