about

Taking a good hard look at myself at the end of 2009 led me to see a lot of habits and qualities I disliked. This song was basically about me having a rant about myself, to myself.

lyrics

Grow the fuck up!

We're all up in the air here, but
Have a fucking care
You're not the only one who's
Got frustrations

Don't wanna lecture, but
You do protect your heart
Enough to keep you
From having fun

Always just the same, you're
Always just the same, you're
Always just the same, you're
Always just the same!

I don't want to be you, but
I'll hear you in my darkest dreams, fool
I'll hear you!
And I wouldn't want to meet you, but
I'll see you when my blackest thoughts move
I'll see you!

Now you're a reasonable man
A man with many plans, but
Nothing seems to change, don't
It feel that way?

Sometimes to lose yourself is to
Find there's someone else
Deep inside you, just
Feeling blue

Always just the same, you're
Always just the same, you're
Always just the same, you're
Always just the same!

I don't want to be you, but
I'll hear you in my darkest dreams, fool
I'll hear you!
And I wouldn't want to meet you, but
I'll see you when my blackest thoughts move
I'll see you!

Make the monster and the man will disappear
So resurrect yourself in love without fear
Life is cruel, but you don't have to be
I double dare you just to try listening to me

I don't want to be you, but
I'll hear you in my darkest dreams, fool
I'll hear you!
And I wouldn't want to meet you, but
I'll see you when my blackest thoughts move
I'll see you!
