lyrics

I wake up broken and passionless
Ticking all the boxes of all of my past regrets
Tallying all of the things that I’ve done before

I rely on potions and prophecies
Auguring a future, I hope there’s one for me
I never asked for a thing, not a single thing more

But I’m so angry, I throw parties
Where everybody tells me
You’re wasting the very best years of your life
You look like you’re struggling hard to survive

Well I’m so lonely, but I can’t speak
To anybody
I can’t have a talk without something prescribed
I can’t fall in love without chemical lies

Pretty girls shower me with compliments
I just feel dirty, I cannot make any sense of it
I just awkwardly shuffle away

I get by on instinct and intellect
Navigate society using my compass of four dollar words
‘cause I’ve got nothing to say

But I’m so angry, I throw parties
Where everybody tells me
You’re wasting the very best years of your life
You look like you’re struggling hard to survive

Well I’m so lonely, but I can’t speak
To anybody
I can’t have a talk without something prescribed
I can’t fall in love without chemical lies
