One of my favorite fantasies is to go to my own funeral
Everyone would try to care about me
But that's just way too morbid and no one wants to hear it
Not part of my upbeat personality
I've been around the block a few times and I won't go around again
I'm on my own two feet but I don't know how long that I can stand
I'd rather waste my life away

Spend another night alone
Another night staring at my phone
Wishing you were here with me and
Wishing you weren't there with him
So I will drink all by myself
Not ask anyone for help
This medication's key
To get you to notice me
It all becomes so clear
With every single beer
I've got to do this on my own
On my own alone
Spend another night with you
Another night staring at my shoes and
Wishing I was somewhere else
Instead of living in this hell

So many times now, I've watched you as you tried
As you fought your fears and chased your hope
Too many times now, I've watched you try and fail
And I felt it as you crawled back home
I'd rather wallow in my trendy nihilism
Than even dream to make a change
Don't see much purpose in standing on my feet
If you're always there to rescue me
I'll save some time then, and quit before I try
Too much effort to improve a life
Willpower and resolve are foreign words to me
There's more convenience in despondency

I am not horrible
Nor indestructable
You seem to fall to pieces
Just bend and you find jesus
I go a different way
To make the bastards pay
And while you toil and slave
Just like that, it's not my fault
I am responsible
Perhaps to a fault
Your mind is my only prey
(I'm not responsible)
Wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm good at pulling strings
Think what you want to think
And when it falls to ashes
My presence is impacted
And when you're all alone
And when I'm far from home
You're left with all the blame
And just like that, it's not my fault
And when I think you're catching on
Before you know it I'll be gone
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Your mind is my only prey
