Oh Please

Oh please, don't attempt to placate me Or decide in advance how the chorus should go Pure fear is a common theme throughline Most don't even hope to approach the threshold An old soul cries like a baby I still willfully ignorant live I paint the walls in slim shady Hell stalls forever whatever it is It got bad, it got so bad lately Wildfires underperform centerfolds To inflate exaggerate greatly Stoke fear to drive the directionless home I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived Oh please, don't attempt to placate me Tall hallmark phrases that roll off the tongue Reframe a regrettable outcome Stimulate a forgettable doll when you're done They're all teeth the cowardly bite me Imitation, the worst kind of flattery Kids in cold blood on the bullet train take me I can kill with my eyes and I'm murdering I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived Off that axis, got here solo Me and my reverse vertigo Off that axis, got here solo Me and my reverse vertigo, oh-whoa I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived, whoa I thought this was just what everyone did I thought this was just how everyone lived Let's go --- Oh Please - Metric
