For The Hell Of It Lyrics

I'm gonna be honest, so you know

I'm just a corpse rising up from his rest

I'm gonna be honest, it's a show

Behind the scenes I've been doing my best

And there's something upon us, take it slow

Don't read between the lines when they're blurred

There's something upon us

I know

I know

But maybe I'm trying to come clean

Maybe I'm caught up in a lie with myself

Oh, maybe I'm trying, so it seems

I fucked around and you put me on a shelf

Now you can't see me crying, no not me

Not behind these eyes of papier-mâché

You can't see me crying

Not me

Not me

Cuz I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

I've been taking my notes

The tails of my coats

I'm in front of it

I'm taking back what I stole

Regaining control

For the hell of it

For the hell of it, oh yeah, for the hell of it

For the hell of it, oh yeah, for the hell of it

I'm gonna be famous one day

I'll make the money and I'll never pay rent

I'm gonna be famous, yeah okay

And I won't change at all, not a bit

I'm gonna see what their game is, and I'll play

I'll figure out just what they want me to

I'm gonna see what their game is

One day

One day

Cuz I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

I've been taking my notes

The tails of my coats

I'm in front of it

I'm taking back what I stole

Regaining control

For the hell of it

I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

I've been taking my notes

The tails of my coats

I'm in front of it

I'm taking back what I stole

Regaining control

For the hell of it

Cuz I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

I've been taking my notes

The tails of my coats

I'm in front of it

I'm taking back what I stole

Regaining control

For the hell of it

Cuz I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

For the hell of it

Okay okay, I'll put on a smile, then maybe you'll leave me alone for a while?

I'm a child, and I'm a child tomorrow, and the day after ad infinitum

Denial: It's what keeps us all young, these claims that we file

In compartments of brains that keep conscious beguiled

But that's just our style,

Walk a million miles on a million and one rusty nails for a smile

You're a beautiful mind, can't anyone get it?

When chaos inside is too much why not spit it?

Maybe they hear you, maybe they don't,

But worse comes to worst you got rid of the don'ts

Like don't talk to yourself, and why not it's therapy

Who better than yourself to bring you some clarity?

Make mad and the sad and the glad become parity

Cuz you are your own greatest damn charity

So maybe take a minute and sit right there

I'll tell you how a dream disappears in thin air

How the prince got fresh and lost the name "heir"

And I'll tell you how he got it back and not care

YOLO is bull, an acronym of a lie,

Every second you live is your next shot at life

So make this one heaven, or at least say you'll try

Cuz we all deserve a little more heaven, am I right?

Cuz I've been losing control

Of body and soul

For the hell of it

I've been on quite a roll

It's taken its toll

I'm ignoring it

I've been taking my notes

The tails of my coats

I'm in front of it

I'm taking back what I stole

Regaining control

For the hell of it

I've been losing control

Of my body and soul

I've been losing control

Of my body and soul

For the hell of it
