THE PLAN IS A MESS

Lyrics

[Chorus] Yes, the plan is a mess Mess is part of the plan Swan dive into the noise And fate can never catch us We can never fall [Verse 1] Feels like so long ago that I was ditching plan A Switching it to plan B Hit another hitch and I can my plan C Dash my plan D, then burn E, F and G in effigy I'm still scufflin' right past my plan Z So I had to give 'em first names like hurricanes Plan "Myrtle" came down like purple rain Plan "Kareem" careened off a cliff And then Plan "Cliff" got smoked like a spliff Plan "Biff" biffed it Plan "Kate" ate it Man placates himself, claims it's fated They say everything happens for a reason I say еverything happens, the rеason's postdated I'm so jaded, I'm so solidly On some kiss my ass to astrology Shit just happens and we find a way (That's such a Virgo thing to say) [Chorus] Yes, the plan is a mess Mess is part of the plan Swan dive into the noise And fate can never catch us We can never fall [Verse 2] I'm happy to let you think that this was my intention Part of my invention right from the beginning, fail my way to winning All in the risk-reward up on my vision board Ready to rip the cord when I'm in the air free falling I just woke up in a motel outside Nashville All my money's spent and my band is gone La-la-la-la-la, life's a country song I'll tell you to fight on, tell me I'm an icon I cannot survive long living without applause Don't want to take a pause, why did I make my cause Building the myth of myself? (Vanity) Beta cuck made a buck bitching on my problems Even though that everybody and their mama got some (Pop gun) We're robbin' the bank and shooting a blank It's not a job I could ever fake (Time to run) [Chorus] Yes, the plan is a mess Mess is part of the plan Swan dive into the noise And fate can never catch us We can never fall [Outro] It has been a minute, but we are back, motherfuckers Me and my friends made this record for you They are all producers, they're musicians, they're quality human beings Give it up for Max Miller-Loran on the keys and horn Kush Mody on the keys and bass Chukwudi Hodge, AKA Michael Dublé on the drum set (Let's fuckin' go!) Mister Carmack, 'cause we got the Bay in the house Camila Recchio, 'cause we got Seattle in the house (Hey) Pat Dimitri, who's not on guitar 'cause he's slangin' NFTs now, but (No) Give it up for independent artists not being broke, we love to see that Come on (Okay, okay, okay) Give it up for life being a series of deeply personal choices and compromises (Woo!) I know I did my best for you And I really hope you enjoy You can call me by my family name
