lyrics

Hello! I am the reason I'm sad and alone
I'm the reason I'm sitting at home
And slowly losing my whole mind
I am ice in a world caught fire
And I'm losing myself to desires
I had thought were long left behind

Now I know just what you're thinking
There's a reason for the drinking
It's the feeling slowly sinking
As I'm compulsively blinking
It's a chemical imbalance, but without I fear my talent is lost

Hello! I'm an angel who's lost his place
I'm a self-righteous, self-centered case
Of losing my wings before the fall
Call me the Devil, I've found heaven in hell
And I'm learning the things I knew well
Before I knew I knew anything at all

And I find it quite annoying
All the words you are employing
That the universe could possibly
Be anything but toying with me
Ever since I was a boy, the joy of life was simply the cost
Of a life of feeling like I knew so much more
That the world could somehow settle scores
If I could just prove them wrong

Hello! I'm a patient of patience herself
I'm the child of ego and loneliness
And I've come to speak my peace
I am the image of self-absorption
Self-described contortion
Of self-loathing and narcissism, see?

As long as someone's paying attention to me

I'm just a human who's sad and alone
Bent over backwards for people I don't know
I just wanted someone to see
