Shut down the gold rush in my head because we're out of work

I'm living proof of compromise

"Be back in ten" but no return. I'm sick of being in Houston

I'm sick of everything I've been around enough to get used to

[Pre-Chorus]

And exhausting common sense

And I kill what I build

My common myth's confidence

I'm two-faced from your double exposure

Stop right there, don't come any closer

[Verse 2]

You've painted your future

But I'm just not in the picture

Maybe I missed the frame

Maybe I'm seconds late, always late

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I work myself to death

Don't believe me? Ask Geoff

And I'm doing alright, but is "alright" enough?

Cause I'm living my dreams, but I live at home

Cause everything is on the down low for now

[Chorus]

I'm two-faced from your double exposure

Stop right there, don't come any closer

You won't like what you see, so keep your eyes off of me
