lyrics

I don't want to be expendable, don't want to be replaceable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that
There's a fine line between the memory and the untracable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that

My god, what have I become, simply a vessel full of words
Filled with infinite energy but no understanding of how things work
I want to make a difference but it turns out I have no credentials
Useless and replacable, feels like I'm going mental
But I just get on with my life, yeah I get on with my grind
And I run run run run 'til I'm running out of time
Out of line, out of my mind, and out of original thoughts
I keep reaching into my old bag of tricks because now it's all I've got

I don't want to be expendable, don't want to be replaceable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that
There's a fine line between the memory and the untracable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that [x2]

I thought I'd give it up, the mentality of falling
But my journey to the apathetic was my imagination stalling
I realize in retrospect that this was never my calling
I forced myself into a box and it's no wonder it's appauling
And they tell me to just quit, and they tell me to just stop
I say nevermind, nevermind, man I'll see you at the top
And if you should fail to make it, I'll wave from way up here
These golden trails and apparitions tend to disappear
It was in the way they'd sneer, it was in the way they'd sneer
I realized I was going to make it when I acknowledged my lack of fear
I don't want to be expendable, but as a human I digress
This wasn't my first choice, but I know I could have settled for less

I don't want to be expendable, don't want to be replaceable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that
There's a fine line between the memory and the untracable
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind that [x2]
