Gingerbread

I've been sitting here for a couple hours
And I don't know exactly why I bother to stay awake
Pretty soon I'll be a basket case - basket case
O-o-oh
I've got no energy left to think
About anything deeper than my Facebook feed
I know
I'm being stupid but I just keep scrolling - just keep scroll-
O-o-oh
And I think that I know why

All my life is just a deception, oh
My imitation of what someone called perfection
I already know what I'm doing, but
Somehow I think this chase will end in satisfaction
You can stand at a distance and look on
And take notes how to not do this all wrong
My whole life is made of Gingerbread

Cookie cutter job, do cookie cutter work
Have a cookie cutter collar on a button-down shirt
You know, my house is made out of candy, and I've got a sugar green lawn
Everything is sweet on the outside, but it's only a matter of time before my world is gone
And I think that I know why

All my life is just a deception, oh
My imitation of what someone called perfection
I already know what I'm doing, but
Somehow I think this chase will end in satisfaction
You can stand at a distance and look on
And take notes how to not do this all wrong
My whole life is made of Gingerbread

All my life is just a deception, oh
My imitation of what someone called perfection
I already know what I'm doing, but
Somehow I think this chase will end in satisfaction
You can stand at a distance and look on
And take notes how to not do this all wrong
My whole life is made of Gingerbread
