225
You congratulate me on my success. My gpa- my new office desk. But there’s more, honey there’s more than this. I’ve got a soul and it’s seperate from my head.
And I do, I put in work. And I do, yeah I dress the part. But I can’t do this for long.
Ya know tuition, stole my soul.
That’s why I have a seperate life – I’m myself in the nighttime.
Chorus:
Rum Riche you can’t question it. 225 you don’t know what I did.
Oh I hide behind cheap lipstick and you’re convinced I’m a shark in the business. But I’ve got a soul that’s only hidden until I run out of – 225.
Did I even sleep last night? Sat in a lazy boy but didn’t recline. Time again to talk to clients. I do my makeup, honey I do my best.
And I do, I put in work. And I do, yeah I dress the part. But I can’t do this for long.
Great resume but a stolen soul.
That’s why I have a seperate life – I’m myself in the nighttime.
Chorus:
Rum Riche you can’t question it. 225 you don’t know what I did.
Oh I hide behind cheap lipstick and you’re convinced I’m a shark in the business. But I’ve got a soul that’s only hidden until I run out of – lipstick.
Well our brains change from day to day. With health, education, and what they say. But since birth honey, our souls have been the same and I don’t know how long I can keep mine at bay.
‘Cause 225 is too cheap to cover everything.
Alternate Chorus:
Rum Riche you can’t question it. 225 honey you’ll never know what I did.
Oh I hid behind cheap lipstick and but not for long honey this isn’t my business ‘Cause I’ve got a soul and it hides behind color 225, and it hides behind color 225. It’ll never die look out for 225. Still quite alive behind 225.
(That’s why I have a seperate life – I’m myself in the nighttime.)
Couch
We listen to Nirvana and I like your baby talk. Not ready for the next step so we just wait and watch. And I’m not sure if they’re happy for us or if they’re smiling in discomfort.
Well no signal’s my favorite show you taught me not to be so critical.
Chorus:
And I don’t know if I’m dying cause all I can feel is happy. Maybe I’m losing my shit cause nothing is ugly anymore. For once I’m okay just lying on a couch. Like I did enough. Chords and kisses are monumental now. Couch. Couch. Ooo.
You don’t write verse chorus verse but I do because I’m not creative enough. Well that’s not true I’m really quite out of the box, just didn’t realize until you told me I could go off course. Even if it disgusts – oh if it discomforts the herd (I mean audience)
Well no signal’s my favorite show you taught me not to be so critical.
Chorus:
And I don’t know if I’m dying cause all I can feel is happy. Maybe I’m losing my shit cause nothing is ugly anymore. For once I’m okay just lying on a couch. Like I did enough. Chords and kisses are monumental now. Couch. Couch. Ooo.
Well channel blue’s my favorite because we don’t have to watch. And we’re the type of people that never sit down. But we’re learning from each other it’s okay to stop. Now I get my fulfillment from you on your couch.
ell channel blue’s my favorite because we don’t have to watch and I get my I get my woahhhh
Couch. Couch. Ooo.
Desveló
Desveló
My heart will explode. Not a single healthy habit to call my own.
Reloj
Means nothing at all. Each day becomes the next. When I never stop and
I used to pack a backpack to keep me comfortable. Now all I pack’s a water bottle full of cheap rum. Don’t be concerned it’s all under my control. For once in my life, everything is colorful.
Chorus:
You tell me slow down. Baby just sleep. But I used to pray to die before I wake. Oh you tell me slow down baby just breathe but I chose to lose my mind, now my whole life’s a dream
Desveló
Killin’ my body
Don’t care no more
Setting a soul free
6 years of Español
I don’t remember much
Except that black brew
Will Stop my heart
At least I’m too awake to avoid anything anymore
Simpatico
To everyone but myself
So I killed what I didn’t like
And now we’re getting along so well,
Well
I used to pack a backpack to keep me comfortable. Now all I pack’s a water bottle full of cheap rum. Don’t be concerned it’s all under my control.
Because I realized, I control nothing at all.
Chorus:
You tell me slow down. Baby just sleep. But I used to pray to die before I wake. Oh you tell me slow down baby just breathe but I chose to lose my mind, now my whole life’s a dream
Desveló
Killin’ my body
Don’t care no more
Setting a soul free
I used to pack a backpack full of nick nacks for a little bit of comfort when I was freaking out. One day I had just about enough of that and I burned all my feelings, to the ground!
So maybe I’m numb or finally alive. A water bottle full of cheap rum, might as well live until I die.
Alternate Chorus:
You tell me slow down. Baby just sleep. But I used to pray please dear God let me die before I wake. Oh you tell me slow down baby just breathe but I’ve accepted my mind now my whole life’s a dream
Desveló
Killin’ my body
Don’t care no more
Setting a soul free
Desveló
Will be the death of me
Quite perfect really
Maybe then I’ll sleep
Mouth
You’ve known me for a while. Thought I was quiet, honey not now. Oh it’s about time that I come around.
Can you keep up tonight? It’ll be quite a drive
Chorus:
Engine roar. Brand new car. Did a bad thing last night but I moved on. Ignition sets our eyes on fire. All drive breaks are gone (x2)
No brakes. You can’t stop me now. No brakes. I’m using my pretty little mouth.
Oh any other time, I take the passenger’s seat. But tonight, honey I’m steering. Oh engine revs. From the past I disconnect. I’m alive, I’m a kid again.
Can you keep up tonight? It’ll be quite a drive.
Chorus:
Engine roar. Brand new car. Did a bad thing last night but I moved on. Ignition sets our eyes on fire. All drive breaks are gone (x2)
No brakes. You can’t stop me now. No brakes. I’m using my pretty little mouth.
Oh engine revs now. Forget the past. I’ll press the gas. Tame before. Honey I’m not looking back. Say what I want. Sugar coat no more. So brace yourself because my brakes are gone.
Chorus:
Engine roar. Brand new car. Did a bad thing last night but I moved on. Ignition sets our eyes on fire. All drive breaks are gone (x2)
No brakes. You can’t stop me now. No brakes. I’m using my pretty little mouth.
No brakes. You can’t stop me now. No brakes. Won’t shut my pretty little mouth.
Gutterstar
Drag myself outta bed to watered down coffee got a whole three hours of sleep. Ya know it must be a record for me.
Slap on some dollar store eyeshadow – try to brush the shame from my teeth
Doesn’t work but i’m ready to leave
Get to class – the girls are bitchin’. At work same clients still whining. Am I still drunk? Or just dreaming – of small town Gutterstardom.
Chorus:
Well i feel like a rockstar when I pull up in my ‘04 – six cylinder sedan
My friends think they party like rockstars crushing PBRs got nine-to-fives in the am
And i try to sing like a rockstar after I burn my throat on some liquor from my handbag
Ray bans stolen from a lost and found box
I wanted a future but i got gutter stardom
Late a again. Well forget it. Don’t even want to show up to your class because I’ve got like three fans. And sometimes they remember my name. Now if only I could do the same
Lucky these frat boys will sing to anything
Back in class – now it’s the boys that are bitchin’
At work same clients still whining. Am i still drunk? Or just dreaming of small town gutter stardom.
Chorus:
Well i feel like a rockstar when I pull up in my ‘04 – six cylinder sedan
My friends think they party like rockstars crushing PBRs got nine-to-fives in the am
And i try to sing like a rockstar after I burn my throat on some liquor from my handbag
Ray bans stolen from a lost and found box
I wanted a future but i got gutter stardom
So bring all your drunk uncles. And your washed up friends
Well the ones that sing with us always have the most demons. Pre show from the bottom shelf. Your Honda’s looking like a Bugatti now.
Well it’s a small town everyone wants out. But in a little gutter bond we’re all big bad fish now
Alternate Chorus:
Well i feel like a rockstar when I pull up in my ‘04 – six cylinder sedan
My friends think they party like rockstars crushing PBRs got nine-to-fives in the am
And i try to sing like a rockstar after I burn my throat on some liquor from my handbag
Ray bans stolen from a lost and found box
I wanted a future but i got
Ray bans stolen from a lost and found box
I wanted a future but i got
Ray bans stolen from a lost and found box
Who needs a future when you’ve got gutter Stardom?
Console change for drinks at the bar, we’re real, live gutterstars.
