Keaton Henson - Anti-Hero lyrics
[Keaton Henson - Anti-Hero lyrics]
I have this thing where I get older
But just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting
For the anti hero
Sometimes, I feel like everybody
Is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out
Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all it's meaning
(For the last time)
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting
For the anti hero
I have this dream my daughter-in law
Kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it
And then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from Hell"
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting
For the anti hero
But just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting
For the anti hero
Sometimes, I feel like everybody
Is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out
Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all it's meaning

It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me

It's me, hi i'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun
But never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting
For the anti hero
