lyrics

(HT)

You always think
that something bad's gonna happen.
And when it does,
you act like you were right.
You think you're a joke,
but the crowd isn't laughing.
My darkness interrupts,
but I won't try to use a light.
Like they sell coffins
to people with health problems,
I acted like I was standing
but really fell often.
People say I'm fine.
I don't mean to not agree.
But I'm not a slot machine
so no one's ever profiting.
I want transcendence
instead of being defensive.
Every time I reflect
it's like I can't win this.
I'm sick of only processing
the bad feels.
Maybe these days the good ones
are only half real.
Since I woke up
this whole life is so much.
But I don't wanna focus on
how it just slowly broke us.
There's still beauty in
something that's so ugly.
It doesn't seem to mean
nothing to nobody.
I've never been perfect.
Not even close.
Better than worthless,
but caught in these spokes.
How would these songs sound
if I could just be positive?
I pretend I'm the hero
but don't know who the monster is.

(Chorus)
I'm nothin to nobody x 3
Most days I feel ugly.

(Dug)

I always feel I should explain
or apologize.
Like any minute now you'll
get around to moving on.
I told him how I felt
he left and I was not surprised.
And now I tell myself everything
that I said was, lies.
"I wish I cared enough to try,"
is what I sighed.
Rather see myself as lazy
then admit that I'm completely fried.
It's not about success
but that's easy to suggest.
When the fact of having failed
is what you're learning to accept.
Forget about judging myself by my own ideals.
But then I wouldn't judge myself,
so how would I know I'm real?
It's not about the fame,
it is about approval.
I don't believe my own hype
so yours would be useful.
I'm torn it's the usual.
The morning's are brutal.
Was up late for nothing,
now I'm feeling like a loose tooth.
Sitting here rigid from the panic attacks.
Wondering what's in-store,
like where the mannequins at.

(Chorus)

(Zach Hannah)

I just wanna be the kind of kind
that reminds me of my father.
Faking a smile for as he's dying.
I'm not gonna revolver my time left
I'm trying to spend my days slowing down
the aging process,
but aching costs less.
And knowing now
I'm living as,
a slow death cloud
isn't wisdom,
it's wishing
I'd pay for past mistakes
when they were made.
Not better days.
And every good thing accomplished
isn't a moment I've wasted.
This is lonely adjacent.
Not only the growing displacement.
When your soulmates and great friends.
aren't so much fading
as already faded and
I'm not,
an oasis of comfort.
There's no basis for love words.
Just wanna face this,
be done for.
Closure on my face as you dump dirt.
And if I don't make it then jump for
joy over my grave and then want more
then faithless words
and a dumb corpse
So say it, I signed up for it.
The pain of decay
and I take it back,
cause,
cause.....
