Why do I have to listen to you
When you have zero to say?
Because I'm young? All my
Life I've been young so I never get a turn
Hyperaggressive if I'm honest
I can't stand to be alone
My friends are so progressive
They called me "faggot" a year ago
And I couldn't cut them off because
Then I'd be on my own
Being obsessive sounds depressing but it's
Just the way it goes just the way it goes
And will that ever fucking change?
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , never gonna change
My friends on Fentanyl
I hope they're finding their peace
On life support for a week
I heard they died in their sleep
There's so much truth in the fiction
Don't know what to believe
There's so much money in addiction
That I'm dying to need
Something more (Somethin' more, somethin')
I'm just dying to be something more
Something more
And will that ever fucking change?
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I, as if I)
(As if I, as if I)
I wonder if I'll ever get it right
(As if I, as if I)
I wonder if I'll ever find the words
(As if I, as if I)
I wonder if I'll ever be enough
(As if I, as if I)
I wonder if I'll ever fucking change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
(I'm gonna stay the same)
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
As if I'm, as if I'm ever gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , gonna change
(As if I'm, as if I'm) , never gonna change
Everybody talks to me like I'm
The one, you know, i should change
Why should I change? I've never
Even gotten to find out
Who I am and you want me to change
It's crazy you tell me I'm bad before I
Even get to be anything
What the hell is that?
Original sin or something?
It's you that wants the end
Before you can start but when I say I want
The same thing, I'm nuts, right?
I'm not going to cry
I'm going to find my place in this world
Count on it
