‎instigate Lyrics by ​old collin

synesthesia

2022

[Intro]
And I've watched the ceiling unfold one too many times to count
I said a couple mean things and yeah, you really deserve it, but I can never see a turnaround

[Verse 1]
I didn't think I would've been that wrong, why should I care?
Only playing my songs that I made out of thin air
Oh my God, you get under my hair
If you put on a front, I'm gonna jump out of my chair
So would you put in the effort
To be a good friend to someone else?
I'm so under pressure
But never chasing the sun because I stop when I don't know the rules

[Refrain]
Give me something to do
I got no time to be confused
I lost myself in all your ruses
Play me down, make me feel stupid

[Verse 2]
I swear to God, I'll fall asleep as soon as I don't have a headache
Think that I'm pathetic, asking questions like a survey
Unapologetic, text me every other Thursday
I've been bleeding out, so can you hit me with a first aid kit?
You just wanna instigate
I fucking told you that I don't wanna be mitigating
I got you out of my life and I feel liberated

[Chorus]
Uh-uh, and I've patiently waited here for a callback
And I'm done with debating it, but I fought back
And yeah, your constant sedation has only caused that
I'll figure out what you're saying and then I'll block that
You drew a line in the sand and then you crossed that
And now it's not my job to fucking hold your hand to get you through your faults, and I
And if I could withstand all of your bullshit plans then I could be myself tonight

[Refrain]
Give me something to do
I got no time to be confused
I lost myself in all your ruses
Play me down, make me feel stupid

[Chorus]
Uh-uh, and I've patiently waited here for a callback
And I'm done with debating it, but I fought back
And yeah, your constant sedation has only caused that
I'll figure out what you're saying and then I'll block that
You drew a line in the sand and then you crossed that
And now it's not my job to fucking hold your hand to get you through your faults, and I
And if I could withstand all of your bullshit plans then I could be myself tonight
