Oliver Tree - Ugly is Beautiful Album Lyrics

Me, Myself & I

You, oh, you, you're fallin' through
Got me thinking, but it's still not you though
Wait, it's me, what you thought it'd be?
Something else is, but it's not your fault, it's mine

I'm still forgiven, no way
And I've been the outcast, it feels great
I highly doubt that, no way
I'm contradicting all the stupid shit I say

You know I don't speak out
I'm feeling fairly weak and I can barely speak
I started to freak out
'Cause I can barely talk, I feel too weak to walk
I'm trying to leave now
I'm feeling fairly weak and I can barely speak
I started to freak out
'Cause I can barely talk, I feel too weak to walk

Oh, no way, myself included
I don't really wanna be that way
No, no way, myself included
I don't really wanna be that way
But you, oh, you, you're fallin' through
Got me thinking, but it's still not you though
Wait, it's me, what you thought it'd be?
Something else is, but it's not your fault, it's mine

No way, I thought it's great
What the hell was some kind of mistake?
That's you, what you thought it'd be?
Maybe something but it's not included
When I needed you
There's nothing else, I really meant that
Tell me what you want
You're still and now and don't remember

Oh, no way, myself included
I don't really wanna be that way
No, no way, myself included
I don't really wanna be that way

I'm still forgiven, no way
And I've been the outcast, it feels great
I highly doubt that, no way
I'm contradicting all the stupid shit I say

You know I don't speak out
I'm feeling fairly weak and I can barely speak
I started to freak out
'Cause I can barely talk, I feel too weak to walk
I'm trying to leave now
I'm feeling fairly weak and I can barely speak
I started to freak out
'Cause I can barely talk, I feel too weak to walk
I'm trying to leave now

1993

I'm sick of shouting
F*ck everyone who doubted
I always dreamed about it
I've been at it since 2000

No luck
Good chance you'll fall
No guarantees, stop acting cheap
It was never enough at all

Finally, I'm finding silver linings
You can catch me coattail riding
My golden suit is shiny
I've been shining since the '90s
Catch my eye and blind me
No counting coins, no tally points
It's never enough at all

Don't pretend you're someone else
Maybe you should be yourself
You made your life up, you're somebody else
Why can't you just be yourself?

No luck
Good chance you'll fall
No guarantees, stop acting cheap
It was never enough at all

Finally, I'm finding silver linings
You can catch me coattail riding
My golden suit is shiny
I've been shining since the '90s
Catch my eye and blind me
No counting coins, no tally points
It's never enough at all

I wanna see your soul
If you're dead inside, let me check your pulse
You should probably go get help
You don't really look like yourself
I wanna see your soul
When your breathing stops, so let me check your pulse
Better you than me
Flat-line when I go to sleep (when I go to sleep, when I got to sleep)
Flat-line when I go to sleep (when I go to sleep, when I go to sleep)
Flat-line when I go to sleep

Cash Machine

Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities

You're glowing like a diamond ring
I saw you bought some other things
You're spending like a cash machine
To cover up your insecurities
Don't front, no need

When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?

When is it enough?
Turns out you don't need that stuff
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?

Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all

Someone tell me something
Shut up and take my money
I've got pockets full of gold
No, I don't know nothing

Stop acting funny
I've seen greedy people hungry
Up in swarms, I've seen them running
Coming for more

When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?

When is it enough?
Turns out you don't need that stuff
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?

Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all

Let Me Down

Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down
You better come around

You save yourself
I'll save myself this time around
You save yourself
I'll save you too next time around

I'm not around
I haven't been here for awhile
You know I'll never be back now

Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down
You better come around

I won't come around

It's the same old shit
I'm getting sick of it
It's still the same old shit
Stop putting up with it

Somehow I've seen
You're someone else
Somehow I've seen
You turned into someone else

Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down
You better come around

I won't come around

Miracle Man

Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting older
Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting closer

Tell me what you want, was it enough for you?
F*cking up your life, was it enough for you? No way
Tell me what you want, was it enough for you?
F*cking up your life was it enough for you? No way, no

It's what you wanted though
Everything you told me I don't need to know
It's what you want to do
Everything you ever could have wanted to do

Don't say it's what you need
I'd say it's what you wanted
Don't say it's what you need
I'd say it's what you wanted

Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting older
Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting closer

Tell me what you want, was it enough for you?
F*cking up your life, was it enough for you? No way
Tell me what you want, was it enough for you?
F*cking up your life was it enough for you? No way

Here we go
Barely though
I'm not searching for a miracle

Here we go
Barely though
I'm not searching for a miracle

Here we go
Barely though
I'm not searching for a miracle

Here we go
Barely though
I'm not searching for a miracle

Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting older
Your whole life I tried
And now I'm getting closer

Bury Me Alive

I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart
I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart

Carry me away in a coffin
That's the day that I'm stopping
One thing is enough and I'm dropping it all if I ever tell
One day when I speak in the gates of hell
Question up, I see them rushing up
Still run around and I'm f*cking up
Life supports are decisive for
I'm decisive, let me get my style in devices, my vices
Kick it when I'm packing too
Rolling dices, let me get a six and six and another six
That's where the Devil lives
Calling up Lucy just to get a fix

I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart
It's not the first time
I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart

Bury me alive, some days I'm dead inside
It's fine, everything will end in time
I tried speaking every thought on my mind
Til' the day that I die I don't swallow my pride
I don't like this, laying lifeless
One last final breath of air
Before I bite in
I used to have it all
Feeling I'm evolved
But it won't mean shit on the day of my funeral
I said it won't mean shit on the day of my funeral
Eight lives, only got one left
Looks like I got a reason then
Alas, I finally made it pass
A hundred white lies now I wanna hear it back
I'm literal, miss me by a four-second interval
Catch me by surprise screaming situation critical
Situation critical

Death ray, golden age
We all want better days
Death ray, golden age
We all want better days

I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart
It's not the first time
I watch out, I'm shot down, it always falls apart
It's not the first time

Alien Boy

I fell down to Earth from a hundred miles away
And somehow I still make it work
But it's overrated and somehow played out

Three doors down so you can't ignore it
I'll hunt you down like a tyrannosaurus
My teeth are sharp like the great white shark
Let me taste that flesh, it's my favorite part
Got a eagle beak, with the ostrich feet
Seven spider eyes for every day of the week
Means I'm still up working while your bitch-ass sleeps
I'm an alien among the human beings

I fell down to Earth from a hundred miles away
And somehow I still make it work
But it's overrated and somehow played out

Ten doors down but you still can't see me
I talk a lot of shit so you won't believe me
I really wouldn't say anything else
I shouldn't be standing here all by myself
'Cause I'm out there
Tried to tell you that I'm out here on my own
I told you I was out there
Tried to tell you that I'm out here on my own

I fell down to Earth from a hundred miles away
And somehow I still make it work
But it's overrated and somehow played out

Ah, I won't be here long at all

I fell down to Earth from a hundred miles away
And somehow I still make it work
But it's overrated and somehow played out

Joke's on You!

My whole life was just a joke
My whole life was just a joke
But I'm still not laughing

Truth is, I think I said enough
No lie, this shit is fake as f*ck
I've seen death in my nightmares since I was young
I'm close to the edge, people tell me I should jump (go)
Some things cannot be undone
This the kind of shit that'll change you, son
Some days I wanna ask, "What for?"
They've been laughing at me since the day I was born

My whole life was just a joke
My whole life was just a joke
But I'm still not laughing

I guess the truth is hard to swallow
There must be something in your throat
Can someone say the reason?
There must be something I'm not seeing
Why'd you laugh?

Who could it be? Was it really me? (No)
Yes, in fact, my dignity's intact
While I listen to 'em laugh (haha)
F*ck that, try to get it how I get it
You could crack my neck with one snap

The whole world was in on it
Everybody started laughing
The whole world was in on it
Everybody started laughing
Don't try too hard
You're really f*cking up
When you get torn apart
They really show no love
When you try too hard
Don't try to act like something
Don't take yourself so seriously

My whole life was just a joke
My whole life was just a joke
But I'm still not laughing

I guess the truth is hard to swallow
There must be something in your throat
Can someone say the reason?
There must be something I'm not seeing
Why'd you laugh?

Again & Again

Something pushed me to the edge
That's where I've been
Some things gets stuck in your head
That's in your head
Something pushed me to the edge
That's where I've been
Some things gets stuck in your head
That's in your head
That's in your head, head
Head, head

Take what you want, your mistakes made you wrong
Keep your head up, keep your head up
Take what you want, your mistakes made you wrong
Keep your head up, keep your head up

Somehow I've been shut down
Again and again
Somehow I've been shut down
Again and again
Oh

Stop fallin' on your face
Of course everybody all makes mistakes
Watch me fall over the edge
It's not like it's gonna matter in the end
Like the things that you admit
The way it played in your head
In your head, head
Head, head

Take what you want, your mistakes made you wrong
Keep your head up, keep your head up
Take what you want, your mistakes made you wrong
Keep your head up, keep your head up

Somehow I've been shut down
Again and again
Somehow I've been shut down
Again and again
Oh

Something pushed me to the edge
That's where I've been
Some things gets stuck in your head
That's in your head
That's in your head, head
Head, head

Waste My Time

I won't waste your time

Why my whole life
People seem so alike?
They don't mind, they fit in
Don't stick out, that's bullshit
I won't wait my whole life
Watching people divide
Change your mind, don't fit in
Stick around, stand your ground
And float it out
When the roof's on fire

Something's in the air
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
Something hit me hard
I'm falling off, I'm falling off
Something's in the air
I'm coming up, I'm coming up
Something hit me hard
I'm falling off, I'm falling off

I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on
I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on
I won't waste your time

Here comes the day
That you fit into place
Or at least you can say
Stay the f*ck out my way
I won't wait my whole life
Watching people divide
They change minds, don't fit in
Stick around, stand your ground
And float it out
When the roof's on fire

Something's in the air
I'm burning up, I'm burning up
Something hit me hard
I'm falling off, I'm falling off
Something's in the air
I'm coming up, I'm coming up
Something hit me hard
I'm falling off, I'm falling off

Something made me lose
I lost control, I lost control, I lost it
Something's got me down
It'll come around, it'll come around, I got it
I won't waste your time

I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on
I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on
I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on
I won't wait for too long
I can't wait, carry on

Jerk

You say you don't want me
You call me good for nothing straight to my face
You say you don't need me
You call me good for nothing, a waste of space

Don't remind me
I'm minding my own damn business
Don't try to find me
I'm better left alone in this
It doesn't surprise me
Do you really think that I could care
If you really don't like me
Find somebody else
It could be anyone else out there

Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothing
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
It'll happen again
I'll watch it happen over and over again

You say you don't want me
You call me good for nothing straight to my face
You say you don't need me
You call me good for nothing, a waste of space

I watch the walls caving in on me
I'm sick of feeling so f*cking lonely
By now I've given up all hope
I guess I'm better off alone

Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothing
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
It'll happen again
I'll watch it happen over and over again

Hurt

My day will come, I gave too much
I sold my soul, I'm waiting for my painful
My only one, your dying love
I've seen enough

I tried but, I don't think so
Maybe it was me who was f*cking up
I gave all I could give but
It seems like it never really was enough

I feel left out, I don't see how
My whole life can change in one week
I don't mind my own reflection
I don't see how,
You've been let down

Don't speak unless you have to
Why you always seem in a bad mood?
Your whole life you had an attitude
One day, is this so bad for you?

I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'm sorry if it got that bad
I'm sorry I can't help you
Somebody should've had your back

I tried but, I don't think so
Maybe it was me who was f*cking up
I gave all I could give but
It seems like it never really was enough

I changed my, whole life when
I learned to, ignore them
I changed my, whole life up
Maybe it was not enough

I don't think I'm allowed to
Make a deal with your selfish ways
They're acting vicious out there
There's lots of demons out here

I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'm sorry if it got that bad
I'm sorry I can't help you
Somebody should've had your back

I tried but, I don't think so
Maybe it was me who was f*cking up
I gave all I could give but
It seems like it never really was enough

Introspective

There it was, so introspective
I don't need things to get messy
This is overcomplicated
I guess I miscalculated
I don't think that I can hold it
That's some overrated bullshit
Shut your f*cking mouth up, it's fine
What a giant waste of my time

I don't wanna talk about it all again, it was
A better time and then it's just because
I guess I meant it, of it, upward now
A minute now, I still can't come down
Some things we just don't talk about

There it was, so introspective
I don't need things to get messy
This is overcomplicated
I guess I miscalculated
I don't think that I can hold it
That's some overrated bullshit
Shut your f*cking mouth up, it's fine
What a giant waste of my time

Would you ever change this?
Could you ever take control of yourself?
Can somebody explain this?
Stop being so full of yourself

Guess I was around that though
You didn't make a sound 'bout those
I think I'm burning out this time around
I guess I really meant it
Guess I was around that though
You didn't make a sound 'bout those
Things, I guess I made a big deal
It's in my head, head

There it was, so introspective
I don't need things to get messy
This is overcomplicated
I guess I miscalculated
I don't think that I can hold it
That's some overrated bullshit
Shut your f*cking mouth up, it's fine
What a giant waste of my time

I'm Gone

Tell me what you want, maybe I was wrong
Lately that's a lot, is this what you wanted?
Tell me what you need, nothing comes for free
Please just tell me what you wanted
I want it less and less
I guess that this is why I left

That's why I'm gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you
Gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you

I'm running out of options
It happens way too often
I started running into problems again
It happens way too often for me to forget
It's easier said than done

Something's in my head
I thought this was it
How could I forget?
This is why I left

That's why I'm gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you
Gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you

Tell me what you want, maybe I was wrong
Lately, it's a lot, is this what you wanted?
Tell me what you need, nothing comes for free
Please just tell me what you wanted
You wanted more
But it was never enough of course
Stop acting selfish

That's why I'm gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you
Gone, forever long
I'm gone, they will always find you
