lyrics

I've changed
I'm the same thing
I play
All the same games
I break
All the same chains

I sleep
Have the same dreams
My team
Still the same team
My scene
Still the same scene

It's all the same
Nothin changes
Except the name
No longer Shameless
Reset the stage
Come on and take this

Until it all
Comes back a monster
Let's fill it all
With somethin proper
Let's kill it all
Come on and prosper

Cos when you think it's over
That's just cos you're older
That's just on your shoulders
Soldier on until you reach
Where you can walk up
To where you've heard talk of
Go to where you can fall off
And walk off
It's the new old fashioned way
Break the mainframe

I'm okay
I've just been drinkin
Most days
I let it sink in
I don't say much
But I've just been thinkin

I'm alright
I'm makin progress
Up all night
Forget the nonsense
All light exists
Within a dark sense

And when you think it's over
That's just cos you're older
That's just on your shoulders
Soldier on until you reach
Where you can walk up
To where you've heard talk of
Go to where you can fall off
And walk off
It's the new old fashioned way
Break the mainframe

Fame
That's what you all want
Capitalization
You type with all perfect spacin
But pick the wrong font
And you got all the right needs
But the wrong wants
Your knees
If you fall you might bleed
But it's all consequently the same
As keepin all of your blood inside
When you let it out
It's just the end of the ride
And I got plenty of time
To send mine through more capillaries
Plenty of mind
To pay none to my adversaries
I'm actually very adept
At avoiding conflict
But dive into it with no regrets
When someone wants it
And I can act like I'm beyond it
But if I'm bein honest
You can have it if you want it
And that's a promise
I'm off topic
I do that
I have a hard time stayin focused
But you knew that
It's one of the things I'm tryna change
In this brave new world
So sit back and watch it all unfurl

When you think it's over
That's just cos you're older
That's just on your shoulders
Soldier on until you reach
Where you can walk up
To where you've heard talk of
Go to where you can fall off
And walk off
It's the new old fashioned way
Break the mainframe
