"predictably, love tears us apart again"
I can't help but feel like my life is over
Before it's even begun
I like to go outside
I feel the wind in my face
I get the sun in my eyes
I go blind
I like flyover country indie rock
Denim jackets, doors that lock
Stay Inside and Tigers Jaw
And my favourite sin is envy
I'm the loneliest I've ever been
In rooms full of everyone
Who knows something that I don't
And I've forgotten about yesterday
And I've forgotten how to cry
I hate being made as an example
I'm the world's least special novelty
These expectations would be hard on anyone
My life follows the principle of Anton Chekhov's gun
Laying on the mantle in the first act
I'll be fired in the third
And when the bullet
Pierces heart and head
I just hope it doesn't hurt
Yeah, I'll be fired in the third
And all the best poets are no one
The most popular poets are dead
I guess art's only anything
If it makes someone else's bed
It's 'write thanklessly to your last breath'
I hope I'm discovered after my death
And vindicated
I hope my voice breaks over the summer
And I come back junior year a new man
And I hope you can see me
And the change in my face
'Cause right now I'm translucent
But I still take up space
Someday I'm gonna be reborn
Someday I'm gonna be reborn
Someday I'm gonna be reborn
And reincarnated
Yeah, my favourite sin is envy
I'm so damn jealous of the stupidest things
That nobody else would even notice if I had them
They say confidence is attractive
Well, then, I guess I'm Miss America
So vote for all my plastic affectations
Expect me to give the State of the Nation
And please, act surprised when I stand in your office
To hand in my resignation
If you're disappointed,
that makes two of us.
I can do it just as good as any of them
I can do it just as good
I can do it just as well as any of them
Yeah, I can do it just as well
But they just don't see it the same
I think I should try medication
Or maybe I'll just close my eyes
'Cause night will always come the same
The same as any night.
I say, that's the guy I wanna be
I say, that's the guy I'll never be
'Cause I'm the guy I'll never see
In the mirror.
