lyrics
SHRINK, AUSTIN, SHRINK
Whitewashed
Like a Valium illusion
Lacking the high
Am I missing out on the attraction
Of the Mediocre Life?
Where's the danger?
Where's the rush
In your fixed-gear, black plastic pageant?
I'll be the asphalt to your skin
I'll be the razor to your 'stache
I'll be the thumb, locking the wrist
Waiting for your snarky ass
I'll be the stare you can't avoid
Breathing inches from your face
You from around here, motherfucker?
I hear Brooklyn's fucking great...
I'm trying
To discern the vapid value
Of your forged entitlement
Sneering
Behind that drab, generic costume
Like I could give a shit
Where's the danger?
Where's the rush
In your fixed-gear, black plastic pageant?
I'll be the asphalt to your skin
I'll be the razor to your 'stache
I'll be the thumb, locking the wrist
Waiting for your snarky ass
I'll be the stare you can't avoid
Breathing inches from your face
You from around here, motherfucker?
I hear Brooklyn's fucking great...
