What works? Lyrics by ​emptychest

2022

[Intro]
Valious, haha yeah, it's Flynn

[Chorus]
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst

[Verse 1]
In a different state, fuckin' blacked out, yeah
They don't know my name, huh, it's how it stays now
Yeah, I'd really like it if you kept my name in your mouth
'Cause I wanna be talked about, fuck it if I roundabout
Spent my life being kicked around, a to the m to the gay
To the what the fucks this kid sayin', yeah
I don't get around
I just wanna be grounded

[Chorus]
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst

[Verse 2]
Worst, but anyway, yeah, I'm scared
That I'm not gonna make it farther than I am
Right now, yeah, and I struggle more than I ever have
But now it's different shit and I guess I gotta write about it
Why you stayin' in this life if you not really all about it?
I'm just an angsty teen with the same shit
That you deal with, so what's special 'bout it?
Fucking nothing, I don't deserve any of this shit, so gimme nothing
But they'll always be a side of me that wants somethin'
Live a life, maybe fuckin' goddamn be somethin'

[Chorus]
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst
Ten seconds and I'm in, based
Flipped visions got erased, faced
With the painful truth that I don't give a fuck
I don't know what works (What works)
But, I know, I was the first and I'll always be the worst
