Overcompensate Lyrics

[Intro]
Welcome back to Trench
I created the storm
To feel some control
Destroying the final act
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)

[Verse 1]
Earned my stripes
Three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
Bless your ear holes while you react
Actin’ gobsmacked, don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate
I feel like I I was just here, same twitchin’ in my eyes
Don’t sleep on a boy who can fall asleep twice
In the same night and won’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate

[Chorus]
I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate
And then by the time I catch, in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate

[Verse 2]
Where am I from? I was born right here, just now
Originated right in front of your eyes
If you can’t see, I am Clancy
Prodigal son, done running, come up with Josh Dun
Wanted dead or alive
So now you pick who you serve
You bow to the masses
Get kicked to the curb
For passin’ the classes
Half empty, half full, save half of your taxes
Then overtake your former self

[Chorus]
I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate
And then by the time I catch, in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate

[Bridge]
Days feel like a perfect length
I don’t need them any longer
But for goodness sake
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Way too short for my soul, corazón
The days feel like a perfect length
I don’t need them any longer
But for goodness sake
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Way too short for my soul, corazón

[Refrain]
Earned my stripes
Three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
Bless your ear holes while you react
Actin’ gobsmacked don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate

[Chorus]
I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate
And then by the time I catch, in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
We don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate
