lyrics

Don't like awkward silences
I'd rather blend into the crowd
Loud places are the death of me
One day I’ll make you proud

Quoting is my hobby
I'm really quite some guy
Weirdness over wisdom
Makes it hard for you to try

Work men don't want me
Too complex for this world
Nobody understands my life
Or the path that I chose

Failure that I'm known to most
Potential is sky high
Guidance was my problem
Made me sink instead of fly

Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine

Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine

Thrown out this New Year’s Day
For acting like a child
Drugs and university
Have made me go wild

Old and incoherent with
An eccentric point of view
Harmless and untypical
Wearing skater shoes

Living in a council world
Where money isn't true
Walking home late at night
Through all the bins and spew

This ballad is a tragedy
Of how life is unfair
This brain among the brainless
Has left me with despair

Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine

Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine

Quarter age breakdown
Leaving home
Has only left me on my own
Student of idiots
Far away now
Sold myself
To the boring crowd

Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine

This is why I'm never fine

This is why I'm never fine

This is why I'm never fine

This is why I'm never fine

Oh yeah
