Contractual Songtext
von Chase Petra

Last time I checked
This wasn′t real life
And we were just kids

And last time I checked
I wasn't a mess
Just a little undid

Last time I checked
Last time I checked

And last time I checked
I didn′t agree to this
And I never signed a contract

Growing up wasn't part of the plan and
I was never really a fan of
Getting old or giving up
But it seems inevitable now

Naivety's never been so appealing
And I′m obsessed with ignoring the feeling
I′m about to have to start dealing
In unfamiliar things


Consequences have never been so dire
It's all the pain that living will inspire
That has got me running from all that I admire
To avoid the feeling

Cinder blocks on your feet, it′s time to float now
You've got to swim or find yourself drowning
Roses rise from your face, you′ve got to cut them
No one can see that you are full of loving
Or God-forbid, they deem you the weakling
And cut you from the cast you've been conducting

Naivety′s never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling
I'm about to have to start dealing in unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire
It′s all the pain that living will inspire
That has got me running from all that I admire
To avoid the feeling
I′m sinking in unfamiliar things


And I
Don't want to waste my time
Just trying to get by
And I
Don′t want to waste my time
Just trying to get by

Naivety's never been so appealing (been so appealing)
And I′m obsessed with ignoring the feeling (ignoring the feeling)
I'm about to have to start dealing in unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire (been so dire)
It′s all the pain that living will inspire (will inspire)
That has got me running from all that I admire (all I admire)
To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things
To avoid the feeling
I'm sinking in unfamiliar things!
