Lyrics Norman Bates by Vanillaroma

I'm scared of losing everything I got
I'm really worried cause it ain't a lot
I'm really worried cause I ain't too smart

You're worried you'll just be an afterthought
You're worried you'll lose everything you got
You're really scared because it ain't a lot
You're rarely scared because you ain't too smart

I'm worried I'll just be an afterthought
Everyday you're thinking

I should quit or take a break
You've got dollars sitting lonely screaming get me some roommates
You've got problems staying low key if it means you lose the praise
If you wanted to be honest then you'd lose the games you play
I've got habit forming patterns in my life I'd like to change
I've got warnings written boldly in red font across my face
Not trying to get in your good grace
I'll take a joke over connection
You're trying to lose the games you play
I'll just create a work of fiction
You're trying to run to win the race
I'm trying to walk like an Egyptian
I think I'm more like Norman Bates
My minds been slipping
I've been giving all the thought I'm supposed to give
To all the things that I've been given
To the branches on the tree that seem so strong while mine is weak
Still I've been planting all the seeds I wanna see grow into flowers
I've been waiting for the sun to come
And give me light to grow

Boy it's been looking pretty scary for a while outside
Feel like a wanted man
A payment plan dead or alive
I guess you always got some debts to pay
Can't wait em out or runaway
I'll stay and play a game
Holding my breath
Breathe water

I met a pretty girl that smokes cigarettes
Man, who'd have guessed it might've ended up like this?
Well someone said but I forget
I'm chasing thoughts around my head
I'm feeling dead
My hand is red from unintentional distress: falling hard on cracked cement

Now she's coming down the street and I forget the alphabet
And I feel like an idiot
I'll keep my eyes locked on my feet
And wonder why she's here with me
Let the opera singer sing and let the fireworks compete
Boy it all sounds good to me

Boy it's been looking pretty scary for a while outside
Feel like a wanted man
A payment plan dead or alive
I guess you always got some debts to pay
Can't wait em out or runaway
I'll stay and play a game
Holding my breath
Breathe water

I have moments of clarity
They're rare to me
Fill my walls up with jealousy
And everything I wanna be
I have moments of clarity
They're rare to me
Build my walls up with jealousy
And everything I wanna be

You better learn your limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
You better learn your limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming

I gotta learn my limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
I gotta learn my limits
I tried to walk but I ended up swimming
