Don't Darwin Me, Bro

Standing on the corner when a piano drops below
Or fishing on the lake when a trout jumps down your throat
Drunk and climbing walls when you lost your door keys
It's all safe until it's not
It's safe until you drop.

Just paralyze me now and I'll stop making mistakes.
Been trying real hard not to die in stupid ways.
Your last breath you're taking
Knowing you're a laughingstock
Out comes the exhale and the first of the guffaws

Here's your life
(Here's your life)
It's almost up
(Almost up)
You tried so hard and got so little in return
But now it's done
As dumb as it begun
(x2)

Cardiac arrest in another woman's bed
The kinda bad luck that can sever both your heads
You swore it wasn't loaded when you used it as a bong.
It's all smart until it's not
When you're your own headshot

Just pad all my rooms and put away all the sharp objects
I don't want final moments I won't live to regret
Your family's final memories
Farewell tears to shed
Were they laughing out loud or wailing bitter sounds?

Ba bah bah bah bah bah
Ba bah bah bah bah bah (to the tune of the previous chorus)
The ending comes
As dumb as it begun

Just feed me with a tube and keep my limbs restrained
I'm trying not to disgrace my family's somewhat good name
You'd think it'd be real easy
Stick to the beaten path 
It's all wise until it's not
When they catch you slippin' up

Ba bah bah bah bah bah
Ba bah bah bah bah bah (to the tune of the chorus)
The ending comes
As dumb as it begun
