Vic Fox - The Opera(tion) Lyrics

I'm finally leaving my hometown
Looking for new people to let down
'Least that's what I've been prepared to do
Got an entire resume of not pulling through
So I've been working on my elevator speech
Stocking up on sheep so I can fall asleep
Waiting for that terrible cause
When hell finally opens wide its jaws

So take a look at the ground
It's getting closer
Cause I'm taking a bow
But this isn't an opera-this is an operation

I'm trying to find a way to stay in touch with all my friends who say
That I'm the one they want to see
But they only know who I used to be
I'm trying to find a way to stay in touch with all my friends who say
That I'm the one they want to see
But they only know who I used to be

While I've been writing my stupid songs
My old friends they still get along
Becoming a doctor and what not
Whatever happened to that boy who never thought
About his life about his future responsibilities
Well I was busy chasing girls I thought were into me
I pulled out my red still beating heart
When they gave it back it just wouldn't start

So take a look at the ground
It's getting closer
Cause I'm falling down
But this isn't an opera-this is an operation

I'm trying to find a way to stay in touch with all my friends who say
That I'm the one they want to see
But they only know who I used to be
I'm trying to find a way to stay in touch with all my friends who say
That I'm the one they want to see
But they only know who I used to be
I'm trying to find a way to keep all my mistakes in secrecy
But none of them are a one-time thing-they're all apparently repeating
They're all apparently repeating
