A Lifeless Ordinary
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

didn't think I would make it,
I thought I would fail and believed everyone was against me.

Thought everybody was against me
I believed no one was on my side.

All those conquered eyes
All the critical glares that made me feel inferior.

And Christmases alone.
All the lonely Christmases I have had.

I never gave an honest answer
I never gave a truthful response to the things happening to me.

But I made a lot of angry organs.
But I felt a range of powerful emotions.

Are we copacetic? Are we behaving now?
Are we okay? Are we acting appropriately?

Filling up on endless enzymes
Consuming and absorbing other people's unpleasant emotions.

From other people's ugly insides
From other people's negative feelings and attitudes.

All this bitterness is starting to grow cold
All these hateful feelings are beginning to fade away.

Encompanies an empty evening,
Accompanying a lonely and unfulfilling night.

Hanging onto complications
Clutching onto difficulties and issues instead of letting them go.

Sometimes quicksand has a massive appeal
Sometimes it seems easier to let yourself drown in problems.

To me
For me personally.

I want to be somewhere else
I wish I was in a different place or situation.

I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a
I believe I can solve my problems on my own, but I require some

Little help to get me
assistance to get there.

Need a little help to get me.
It is necessary to have support during the process.

I always knew I had the answer
I had the solution all along.

But I never understood the question
But I never comprehended the true issue at hand.

Indoor living
Staying inside, indoors, instead of going out to experience things.

Lacerated to the bone
Hurting or damaged to the core.

And now we've realigned the edges
Now we have gotten back on track.

I'm doing very well I thank you
I am doing much better than before, thank you.

All this sympathy is starting to wear me down
All the pity is starting to have a negative impact on me.

I wish I was someone else
I desire to be a different person with different experiences or qualities.

I'll try to work this out
I will attempt to solve this problem.

I'll try to get it on
I will try to figure it out.

I'll try (repeated in background after said once)
I will make an effort to improve things.

I like to tell you that I'm ready
I prefer to say that I am fully prepared.

For whatever's coming
For whatever is about to happen.

But to be honest there's a part of me
But honestly, I have doubts and concerns.

That loses control (2x)
That cannot maintain composure or stability.

I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a
I believe I can solve my problems on my own, but I require some

Little help to get me
assistance to get there.

I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna
I believe I can solve my problems independently, but I will

Need a little help to get me through it
Require some support to overcome this obstacle.

To get me through it
So that I can successfully make it through.

Need a little help to get me through it.
I need assistance to get past this difficulty.
