Swim Down - Chicken Little (Shorts!) Lyrics

Look me in the face and tell me
What exactly it is you can't be
I hope you figure your shit out
For my sake and yours, crush all this self doubt

Act like everything is fine
Pretend you won't keep me in mind
I hope I figure my shit out
But I'm a decade in, still can't figure it out

I know I'm smug, and I'm disconnected
I walk around so unaffected

There's a laundry list of people who hate me
And all this pressure is suffocating

I'm just a scrawny motherf*cker
Only know how to function if I suffer
My chicken legs often struggle to support
My head, my heart, and look weird in shorts

Bury me in all your baggage
It won't be easy but I can manage
I see rock bottom like an old friend
Remember it fondly to my bitter end

Keep your mind off my f*ckin bullshit
Leave me for dead and never show it
I think I felt my best at my lowest
My head was clear, all I know is

I'm 26 but I'm feeling older
All these voices in my head keep getting louder
But I don't have time for their bullshit

I'm just a scrawny motherf*cker
Only know how to function if I suffer
My chicken legs often struggle to support
My head, my heart and look weird in shorts

Take a break I can't think clearly
Shut the f*ck up I know it ain't easy
They say these things tend to heal with time
But I've had enough of your one track mind

I hope you keep me in mind every now and then
I'll keep you in mine til I reach my bitter end
Doesn't have to be fondly, but I hope that I linger
Poetic like the ghost of my ring on your finger

I'm just a scrawny motherf*cker
I only know how to function if I suffer
My chicken legs often struggle to support
My head, my heart and look weird in shorts

Take my hand in yours, pull me back
I know I'm a chore, I'm gonna crack
I told myself things would get better
But lately I've been feeling shitty like the weather

I'm just a scrawny motherf*cker
