Every song that I sing is a ballad to myself
Always pissing and moaning bout how I live for someone else
I bought some toys for nostalgia that I put up on my shelf
To remind me of a time when I didn’t need your help
And so it goes…
I’m panicking at the thought of you not texting me back
Terrified of isolation and the friends that I lack
Gotta get a grip on it come on man don’t be like that
You’re so god damn worthwhile come on just cut yourself some slack
And so it goes…
The most reprehensible things that would make pale men sick
I’ve done them with a grin on my face as blood rushed through my dick
Got no shame in saying that I’m a regular prick
I’ve got a backstory to convince you that I’m a piece shit
And so it goes…
