lyrics

Step one: today I'll find out how to stop being so fucking awkward.
I'll blend in with the crowd and be a nameless face.
There comes a day when you are sick of everything that sets you back;
you start to need what everyone has that you lack.

Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it,
if I do it right they'll buy it, and I won't feel a thing.
Hey, you've got one shot, don't waste it,
when you're so close you can taste it, you must know your place.

You've spent every night on your bedroom floor,
you're scared of the world but you still want more.
A September snowfall is calling, for the first time you're on your own,
and you're not coming home.

Step 2: Today I shed off every nervous habit that I ever had;
nothing to hold me back, it's confidence I lack
Today's the day that I'll drink & smoke and get myself all fucked up
here's to my new life as it all fades to black.
