Villain or victim? I can't write the story without both When you meet our maker Will you speak Or will you choke? A familiar sound in the silence It fades out when I try less to die less I digress Hopeless feels like more It's the same walk to the bodega The same store, the same perks, the same clerk Who remembers that I said that "I don't drink anymore" The epitome of self violence Oh, they'll buy this Hey kids, try this It only hurts for a second And then it won't even sting Well I hate to break it to you I'm giving up Hate to be the bearer of bad news This whole thing's fucked I was never better than the rest Stayed alive and that's my best So I really hate to break it to you I'm giving up The clerk asked "What's the reason for this?" It's a backlash, a quick wince "Do you know what they praised me for? I'm the poster child for survivors." You really think I could take it back from him? When I can't even tell my friends That it happened again Well I hate to break it to you I'm giving up Hate to be the bearer of bad news This whole thing's fucked I was never better than the rest Stayed alive and that's my best So I really hate to break it to you I'm giving up This whole thing's fucked This whole thing's fucked This whole thing's fucked
