Verse 1: Anxiety from A to B Brings life in need for pills to sleep As we proceed in watching him angrily chase them down With bourbon and ginger ale Honesty is policy For Mrs. mediocrity As we can see she’s having a hard time containing herself She bites her lip and gives it hell Chorus: None seem too keen on what’s to come The devils in the details And that’s exactly where they’re meant to be Misery needs and never wants So don’t forget to exhale Cuz she needs them to keep her company Ohhhohhhhh Verse 2: Society has her believe She’s bound to be on silver screens And we concede she’s not hard to look at but even still She doesn’t learn or listen well If modesty had learned to breathe They’d be the boys with perfect teeth And we believe they’re bounded by contract to meet his will But who we gonna tell Chorus: None seem too keen on what’s to come The devils in the details And that’s exactly where they’re meant to be Misery needs and never wants So don’t forget to exhale Cuz she needs them to keep her company Ohhhohhhhh Chorus: None seem too keen on what’s to come The devils in the details And that’s exactly where they’re meant to be Misery needs and never wants So don’t forget to exhale Cuz she needs them to keep her company Ohhhohhhhh

As long as I’ve been playing You’d think I’d be better than this It’s hit or miss And I hate to think I peaked in high school But I still find I court the rebellion that I used to sing about And how it all amounts to constant doubts And a path made of wasted time I’m wasting time You could say I’m out of practice That I don’t have “the stuff” Or maybe I just finally realized I never had enough The truth is it’s all relative I’ll do this with a little bit of apprehension But I just wanna leave part of me behind A little piece behind I’m a little bit behind I thought I found my calling But it might be I heard it wrong It’s not a song It’s a wishing-well that kept me thirsty Cuz I don’t drink But got plenty wasted seeking enlightenment And what I meant to waste, I spent the race Incessantly checking for time Chorus (bridge)I dreamed in modern parlance But it turns out that I never woke I only spoke Like a low-key loser dad in high school But I don’t mind As long as I’m telling the truth I’m a decent man I’m thinking honestly, that honesty Is closer to love than to fear. So don’t you fear Chorus
