I think I'm gonna die alone
It's all my fault
Another Saturday stuck in my home
It's all my fault
My mother said just to be myself I have two problems with that:
I can't be anyone else and I fucking hate myself
These worthless platitudes can't fix my fuckin attitudes
Cuz what if I work up the courage to talk and we become nothing more than acquaintances?
To scared to live

We play these games all of the time
Russian roulette but the bullet's in my head
Word salad comes out of my mind
Trying to tell you
I don't want to know where you were sleeping
I just want to know what were you thinking
Is there something wrong with me cuz I see you struggle and I'm feeling empathy
Goes to show I never knew you at all
Trust is transient
And that's where we both stand
I don't want to know where you were sleeping
I just want to know what were you thinking
Is there something wrong with me cuz I see you struggle and I'm feeling apathy
Goes to show I never knew you at all
I'll confess
A fucking liar
I don't want to know where you were sleeping
I just want to know what were you thinking
Is there something wrong with me cuz I see you struggle and I'm FUCKING HAPPY
Goes to show I never knew you at all

4 hours of drunk sleep, a burning headache
Tomorrow's a new day, another mistake
I atone
For words I don't remember
But recognize as my own
Trying to keep my head off the pavement
22 fearing my life's already wasted
I bemoan
My failure to cope
But your words are my hope
[Refrain]:
It's just a process towards happiness you said
It's just a process towards happiness
Halfway across the country
I hope you're proud of me
It's just a process towards happiness
Waiting for a miracle
If not for me than only you
[Refrain]:

Second Act

[Refrain]:
Sitting in my bead
With these thoughts in my head
Like the end of the second act in the film when everyone's depressed
Not sure what I should've said
Not sure what's happening next
But I know that I'll fuck it all up again
Never apologized for all the vacant stares and lies
Said they were the duct tape that stitch up our fucked up lives
Broken people plucking on tendons like strings
A naïve child dreaming about wedding rings
Honestly I'm impressed
3 years and you never missed a step
Conjuring thoughts that make me depressed
[Refrain]

Well it's toxic
It's caustic
The voice in the back of my mind
To keep me here and never try
Creating failure by design
Disrupting every aspect it says
Give up while you're ahead
Give up while you're ahead
And all those problems that plague you now
Are your own fault so just go out loud
Give up while you're ahead
You're better off dead
Well not this time
I'll take my chance there's more to me
Than a tragic tale with an abrupt ending
Get out of my own head
Get out of my own head
And every time I try to improve
You just degrade me like it's no fucking use
Get out of my own head
I won't do it again
The day turn into night
And I realized that I was alright
Despite my best efforts to try
I'm not a coward for being alive
I'M NOT A COWARD FOR BEING ALIVE
(and neither are you)
