i'd work for free - blake rouse lyrics

[verse 1]
one, two, a one two tree
my ego is the size of all the things i visualize
which is scary cause i still feel seventeen
my days all feel the same
pretty cold and pretty tame
though my room feels like it’s closing in on me
my friends all go to school
and they don’t follow the rules
meanwhile, there’s water in the bottles that i drink
and they called me on the phone
they move away from home
so i’ll wash my face in my own private sink

[pre*chorus]
so i sit and think:
how am i gonna leave a mark on anything?
how am i gonna live after i diе?
when moving mountains is a scam

[chorus]
i’m a narcissist
i’ll write myself a story and i’ll stick to it
a brand nеw little story
so that time will think i’m better than i really am
so in another life, i was a train conductor
upon piles of dirt
i’d pull my weight, i’d sit up straight
and return to my dark earth
take a penny out of my wishing well
oh, and i’d give you three
i’d work for free
i’d work for free
[verse 2]
i spend my time alone
fully gone, and fully grown
i’m a scarecrow in a sandlot owned by me
and i write my little songs
and i’m too tired to respond
to the messages from friends who worry

[pre*chorus]
but they eat it up
the people in my mind, they all eat it up
i finally grab attention
they’re all seeing what potentially this kid has

[chorus]
i’m a narcissist
i’ll write myself a story and i’ll stick to it
a brand new little story
so that time will think i’m better than i really am
so in another life, i was a firefighter
about six foot four
i’d settle down in a thundertown
and make my backbone sore
and if i die an early life
oh, there’s more of me to grieve
i’d work for free
i’d work for free
[bridge]
i don’t care who i’m remembered as, just
make him worth your time
cause i don’t want my grave
to take up sp*ce from those who tried
and if my great*great*grandson asks you:
“how did he survive?”
i spoke my mind
i spoke my mind

[chorus]
cause i’ll never be a real estate agent
but i won’t conceal
the thoughts that seem so infinite
compared to time i feel
so i can make up stories just to prove i need to heal
but my story’s real
my story’s real!
