Standards 03:44
Chorus: I’m crushed by high standards I don’t know if I can tank this panzer, And god in my ear I need your answer, Lots of fear in my veins no grandeur, I’m crushed by high standards, I’m crushed by high standards, Verse 1: In terms of first born son I’m the worst one, Compared to grandpa great Who Made two thousand places Making them with his own hands Meanwhile I can’t follow my own plans, So I wallow in sorrow drinkin Perrie worlds such a hollow and scary place, Demolished by the barbell 2 hunnid on the weights, Being polished with a glimpse of hell maybe a taste, Advice they give is Amish, and stuck in old ways Cause their minds are in bondage, from the old days, So now I rest my cold case Guess me and myself aren’t soulmates Cause their minds are in bondage, from the old days, So now I rest my cold case, Guess me and myself aren’t soulmates, Chorus: I’m crushed by high standard I don’t know if I can tank this panzer, And god in my ear I need your answer, Lots of fear in my veins no grandeur, I’m crushed by high standards, I’m crushed by high standards, Verse 2: Popular in eighth grade for like no reason, Little did I know that id break and hate leaving, As soon as I joined ninth I became a pint, Assume I’d be liked if I practice all night, Then I’d be with many friends every single night, And maybe find someone comely by my side, But instead I’m lonely and hurt with cyanide Since I wouldn’t practice to be katniss I was bad at life, An auxiliary not necessary to the act or the fight, I lost my embassary I’m hillary after trump's win It dismembered me no one remembered To check me in So I don’t have a membership I won’t ever have leverage, I just be gobbled down like a beverage, Lusting in this awful town want a catalyst Wanna fill the whole holes in the wall with bricks, Not just one part no I want all of it patched in to make a machine to cash in, So my impression would be lasting, But I can’t catch it all I can’t ash it, But I can’t catch it all I can’t ash it, Chorus: I’m crushed by high standard I don’t know if I can tank this panzer, And god in my ear I need your answer, Lots of fear in my veins no grandeur, I’m crushed by high standards, I’m crushed by high standards,

Chorus: Cody Brooks Something missing inside my life, Something missing inside my life, they have what I want and it makes me trite I hate you so much your who I despise, Verse 1: Kekoa Siu Life change you got pressure to live up to, And problems you’d always run away, give up, lose, Yet people say “O you’re so confident, look how you’ve improved”, When I’m facing the demons I had in June, You’d sit in the depression just to get this expression, But nothing came out, no lyrics or chord progressions, And if you can’t get over this, James, Well then you’ll be over with, So suffer the pain, You ungrateful kid, you ungrateful scum, You’re not working hard, you don’t live off crumbs, I need to receive attention so I can see myself in three dimensions, ‘Cause if self-love is currency, I’m dead broke, Pretended you were confident to try to get known, And all your music is trash like Yoko Ono, And if I wake up next to you I’m going solo, Chorus 2: Cody Brooks Something missing inside my life, Something missing inside my life, they have what I want and it makes me trite I hate you so much your who I despise, Something missing inside my life, Something missing inside my life, they have what I want and it makes me trite I hate you so much your who I despise, Verse 2: Kekoa Siu Truly there’s no hope for me, no goals to seek, So I might as well OD, I mean, I’m ashamed of how I framed that I could paint this picture, I must be a failure, I didn’t make these figures from a label‘Because only those who deserve are able And since I’m handicapped, while I’m stuck in a cradle Destined to be out-rapped, never a staple Trying to fake it as a big fish ended fatal Avoiding Cain in vain attempts to be Able Thought I saw it all, but I was stuck reading Braille Hate push my brain cause I was lacking control My heart diamonds, I’m who I can’t console
