The Meaner Fight

Verse 1

Monday morning felt like Monday morning

Coffee gone cold on the same old desk

Same four walls and the same dull warning

Every single day a blur of beige and gray

Pre-Chorus

So I picked up a book on a lazy night

One equation turned into endless light

I found a thread and I pulled it tight

Now there's no way I'm going back to sleep

Chorus

I solve and I spin and I still don't win

The more that I know the more it stings

I built my bright mind but I lost my grin

Got the degrees and I got the rings

But I'm still angry at everything

Post-Chorus

Angry at everything

Angry at everything

Verse 2

Theorems feel like old familiar friends

Petri dishes crowded with my doubt

I earned the letters swimming at the end

And still the clock keeps ticking out my doubt

Pre-Chorus

So I chase a proof that never ends

I answer questions nobody sends

I climb the summit then I start again

And every peak just leaves me wanting out

Chorus

I solve and I spin and I still don't win

The more that I know the more it stings

I built my bright mind but I lost my grin

Got the degrees and I got the rings

But I'm still angry at everything

Post-Chorus

Angry at everything

Angry at everything

Bridge

Maybe peace was just a trick of the light

Maybe calm was never meant for me

I traded the boredom for a meaner fight

And the louder the answer the harder I see

Chorus

I solve and I spin and I still don't win

The more that I know the more it stings

I built my bright mind but I lost my grin

Got the degrees and I got the rings

But I'm still angry at everything

Post-Chorus

Angry at everything

Angry at everything

Outro

Still angry at everything
