Hopeless Opus

Hey, Mr. Cage-man, let me get a fresh breath

Cherry bomb, headstrong, I could fake my own death

Hey, Mr. Fate-man, shuffle me a ninth life

I've been wrong, go long, throwing me a sharp right

It's not a picture-perfect life

Not what I had in mind

Let me write my own line

I've got this place that I've filled with empty space

Oh, I'm trying not to face what I've done

My hopeless opus

I'm in this race, and I'm hoping just to place

Oh, I'm trying not to face what's become of me

My hopeless opus

Hey, Mr. Safe-man, hustle me an okay

I could slide, take a dive, take it for the home team

Hey, Mr. Postman, slip me one more green note

I've been low, hit the floor, looking just to make broke

It's not a picture-perfect life

Not what I had in mind

Let me write my own line

I've got this place that I've filled with empty space

Oh, I'm trying not to face what I've done

My hopeless opus

I'm in this race, and I'm hoping just to place

Oh, I'm trying not to face what's become of me

My hopeless opus

Hey, Mr. C-

Hey, hey, Mr., hey, Mr. Cage-man

Cherry bomb (margana na si ereht)

Let me, ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

I've got this place that I've filled with empty space

Oh, I'm trying not to face what I've done

My hopeless opus

I'm in this race, and I'm hoping just to place

Oh, I'm trying not to face what's become of me

My hopeless opus
