Lyrics
Got my nose in the corner of my dream
White, sanitized and smells like evergreen

bleached fantasies have took my mind and wiped it clean
Cause it's not real enough
But it's okay
If I'm just man enough

Leaning on my luck
to help
Raise me above
But don't you know?
Don't you know?
That my luck

Dressed in a dunce cap
Blame it on the family genes
Life's just not quite what it seemed
I'm keeping all my receipts
so this shit can get redeemed
Cause it's not real enough

If I'm just man enough

Leaning on my luck

Raise me above
But don't you know?
Don't you know?
That my luck
is running low
But don't you know?
Don't you know?
That my luck
is running low
Cause it's not real enough
But it's okay
If I'm just man enough
to go and take a taste
Leaning on my luck
to help
Raise me above
But don't you know?
Don't you know?
That my luck
is running low
