lyrics

She said "you're fake nice, you're not gonna fool me twice"
Her voice still rings inside of my head, a constant echo of the fear and dread

That I'm this piece of shit, that the world has to deal with
Going through life fucking everyone over, loving no one but the chip on my shoulder

And its all too much,
the pressure of living up...
And It's all too much...
for me

I'm still tryna find the way how to figure out
how to balance my life between guilt and doubt
without losing my mind

When you've turned self-hate to a form of precise Art
"You don't get nice things! This is not your part!"
When did I lose my mind?

He said "I know that..." from the chair that he always sat
"...you don't love, me and that's OK" and all I could think was "what a thing to say..."

"...to a teenage kid, who can barely deal with his own shit"
Going through life void of affection, is it any surprise he now sings for attention?

And there's not enough
ways to appear tough

And Its all too much, for me...

I'm still tryna find the way how to figure out
how to balance my life between guilt and doubt
without losing my mind

And it's all too much
The allure of giving up

And it's all too much
For me

(She said it's time you got some help)
I'm still tryna find the way how to figure out

(I cannot watch you spiral out)
I think it's time you got some help
