stepped out into the freezing night
and i've been struggling to find anything i did right
as i descend down the wall
of this bottomless pit of self-loathing
stumbled around drunkenly in your alley
trying to find my way home
if i could i'd gladly
stay right here
never change
while everyone i know is succeeding all around me
and here we are again
i've circled back
and now i'm waving goodbye to my friends
and all the paint in my hair
and my yellowing teeth
would make you wonder if i'm taking care of myself
and my body feels like it's falling apart
don't engage or provoke me
don't get me started now
well here we go again
i feel like everything is crumbling around me
and i don't know what to do about the fact
that in the past few days
everything that i thought was reality
is being reassessed
and the ephemeral stage
of my youth has passed
and i've been thrust into a world that makes me feel like an ass
every time i try
to think for myself
i hear a voice that's calling me
telling me to ask for help
and my body feels like it's falling apart
don't engage or provoke me
don't get me started now
you always told me not to lie
but the truth is, you wouldn't know the truth if it looked you directly in the eye
well here we are again
i share the same fears
but i'm choosing to throw caution to the wind
yeah, i'm older, it's true
and a little bit wiser
but i'm just as confused
as i was back then
and my body feels like it's falling apart
don't engage or provoke me
don't get me started
don't get me started now
