lyrics

I said I think that I’ve been struck with existential dread
She said oh do you
She said well try to laugh it off like all the best depressed comedians do
I said but don’t they do a lot of drugs and drink
She said well yeah so do you
And I can’t blame her now for stating what’s been obvious for years
Like could you

But then these people on my street who scream in pain
At all the demons in their brain
That I can see but I’ve been trained to leave them be
Like it’s a favor for them
Let’s have a demon party
Let’s be friends

Oh what happens next
Where is this going
How do I win
Who’s doing the scoring
Am I in someone’s head
Who’s writing my story
Could you bring me some joy
And stop making it so boring
Please

I said you know what really sucks is all the beauty in my life
She said really
I said I like my job I’ve got this nice relationship the rest is like
Easy (Blow me)
She said well thank your lucky stars
I said the problem is the stars are a ceiling
Cause I have everything I thought I wanted
Now I’ve got some God awful feelings

Because the stars we see might already be dead
And I’ve got all these years ahead
I’m staring down with utter dread just like I said
But it’s a strange kind of dread
It’s like this awesome party
That just won’t end

Oh what happens next
Where is this going
How do I win
Who’s doing the scoring
Maybe it’s all in my head
But if I’m writing this story
Then why am I the villain
And why is everyone so boring

Yeah I’m aware
That I’m being just awful
I guess I don’t care
And that’s part of the problem
God help me
To be happy
Or just feel things
Or be happy
Or feel something
