hi guys by Ranipla

They've been shooting for the stars
Dreaming they would make it far
That's what's driving 'em
The whole world roars what they wrote us
But oh my god I gotta know
How the cuss word are they so undeterred by the unknown?

Thought that I was too afraid to play the game at any cost
(Lied to myself, it's kinda tempting)
But I don't know the rules, like can I ask you what you want?

Hey guys, how ya doin? What's up?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's- how ya been?
I'm me, I believe. And you?
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure about that?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's up?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's- how ya been?
I'm me, I believe.
Cuz god dammit- dammit I hate guessing

Whiplash, dunno if the weather's getting cold or cuz I'm gobsmacked
Cuz I be frozen by the shock, kinda odd that my hands so frigid
That the cold tap water coulda boiled my digits
This that frantic change of plans
There's a mismatch, unravel all my cogni-dissonance
All my mishaps, little flashbacks I regret

Preach your promise
Pose for the pic
Show them teeth
Are you lying through them?
I know a change of heart dont take a lot, I thought

Thought that I was too afraid to play the game at any cost
(Lied to myself, it's kinda tempting)
But I don't know the rules, like can I ask you what you want?

Hey guys, how ya doin? What's up?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's- how ya been?
I'm me, I believe. And you?
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure about that?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's up?
Hey guys, how ya doin? What's- how ya been?
I'm me, I believe.
Cuz god dammit- dammit I hate guessing

Tough love is a bullshit concept
Tough love is a bullshit concept
Tough love is a
Tough love is a
Tough love is a bullshit concept
(x2)

(Don't you know the age-old myth of selling content?)
(Buying apathy and what it means to be authentic)
(We call it mythological cuz honesty is profit)
(And tough love is but a bullshit concept)

I grew up with the same crowd you were raised on
I was the type to pretend I didn't want their same demands
Cuz I watched my idols slowly blow their brains off
Can I do better? It depends; What do you want?

I don't think the stakes warrant something like this, no
I don't think the stage is big enough to ask this, no
I'm a 24 hour coward
Made a world of what I'm pondering
Wasn't prepared to see the fruit of my hypothesis
And cuz its in the vault, best to tell you why I'm scared
In the finale chapter, Performer's dead
