I guess I'll never be Bob Dylan. My songs won't win me a Nobel prize I probably never get to see Stockholm With my own two goddammit eyes It comes down to reality some loose some win Some see the world through a camera lense Some drink it in and some get the 30 The world is finished with And it's just a jpg of a thumbnail Of a Polaroid picture that I held up to the sky Maybe it's time I'm stepping off the panopticon Tired of hanging on with threads I just gotta go while I still can While I got me one thread left I'm stepping off the panopticon I don't think I'll need my phone I don't need a device strapped to my side To remind me I'm alone. Father time started drinking again Trading minutes for hours I guess. But it makes him so damn angry And all he's got left to trade is his fist On my third birthday he gave me a watch On my thirteenth a black eye Then he went to get a pack of cigarettes And he never even told me bye Now I set my clock early to stay ahead of the time. I read the manual in French and English I still can't find rewind so I'm Stepping off the panopticon. I've read the books deleted the text You can believe me when I say I don't care what happens next I'm stepping off the panopticon Tires of hanging in threads I just gotta feel something real Even if it's my last breath Wake up at the crack of noon Smile remember to do the things people do Pull the covers down brush your hair Put your slippers on check the mail Maybe they'll be an inheritance check Maybe this time itl be real Open the box you kinda wish you'd lock And what do we have for him johnny? More waterlogged bills I'm stepping off the panopticon Tired of hanging on with threads I just gotta go while I still can While I got me one thread left I'm stepping off the panopticon. I don't need a device strapped to my side To remind me I'm alone I'm stepping off the panopticon If you want you can go with me I just gotta feel something real Even If it's the last of me
