[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

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

At tea time, everybody agrees

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero


[Verse 2]

I literally never feel like anyone's a sexy baby

And I'm a monster on the hill

Too big to hang out, slowly lurching towards your favorite city

Pierced through the heart, but never killed


[Pre-Chorus]

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism?

Like some kind of congressman

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day, I'll watch as you're leaving

And life will lose all its meaning

For the last time


[Chorus]

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

At tea time, everybody agrees

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero


[Outro]
