lyrics

I've travelled nowhere, and I've learned nothing
I'm missing the point but I'm still arguing
brew me a cleansing drink served fresh from the tree
I'll tell you what I think, but not for free
and you'll believe me

I can't swallow bitter tea
you can't convince me
'cause I don't open my mouth and talk about it
I've already said enough
it's probably OCD

when I arrive there, I'll be sure to call
I would meet you there but you packed and moved on
all that's left's poison laced with aspartame
I wouldn't trust it, but that's just me
I'll tell you that for free

I can't swallow bitter tea
you can't convince me
'cause I don't open my mouth and talk about it
I've already said enough
it's probably OCD

so wait, stop
I've got more to say apparently about
fights fought
this never ends, no one ever
shuts up
I've got nothing important to say, so I'll
wait, stop
I ran out of shit to say anyway

I needed too much so I went to the source
there's not enough and I need more
if you can't satisfy my restless mind
I'll leave you and my heart behind
everyone's alone and everyone's bored
we'll leave each other but we can't afford
to be saving time that's better spent
maybe all we need is better friends

I needed too much so I went to the source
there's not enough and I need more
if you can't satisfy my restless mind
I'll leave you and my heart behind
everyone's alone and everyone's bored
we'll leave each other but we can't afford
to be saving time that's better spent
maybe all we need is better friends
