Listen up, this isn't an uncommon story
A little late, in fact, completely overdue
I tell you everything to keep myself a work in progress
To radiate eternal blue
I'm braindead on the matter of love
L-O-V-E deleted D, LOVED
I blamed addiction for my eviction
Created fictions to make sense of
My heart, unanchored, an ugly mess
A violent instrument of excess
It's no excuse, just an explanation
Examinations of my distress
I know it's too late for mе
To rewrite my history
I hope еverything I've done
Is something you can learn from
Listen up, this isn't an uncommon story
A little late, in fact, completely overdue
I tell you everything to keep myself a work in progress

Shame spirals in defense of love
Always looking for somebody to shove
It's dialectic, nsympathetic
But quite frenetic at the mention of
Another side of the sober truth
Missed perceptions of a wasted youth
Damn the fathers, an expatriation
It's a demonstration but it's not enough
I know it's too late for me
To rewrite my history
I hope everything I've done
Is something you can learn from
Listen up, this isn't an uncommon story
A little late, in fact, completely overdue

If there's a chance to make amends
I'll accept what I can get
Understand, there's no defense
When violence is the work of men
Rearrange every letter
Until your world starts getting better
I'd gladly sink to the bottom
So you can radiate eternal blue

Listen up, it's such a common story
I've told you everything
I am a work in progress
