another way

i wish i could keep it up
keep on writing drivel about love
it's the epitome of music today
teenage boys and girls rock out on heart strings
and i want it so bad
but there's a million other people who relate to that
so i'll keep trying not to be like them
is there another way
another way that i can make it
should i blend in
stand out or try to fake it
should i make like all the others
my sisters and my brothers
clock in nine to five and come home to my mother
oh no
i got all these words and i got all these riffs
but time goes on and on and now they're meaningless
i should have let them free the day they were born
cause they don't have a chance anymore
and i want it so bad
but there's a million other people who relate to that
so i'll keep trying not to be like them
is there another way
another way that i can make it
should i blend in
stand out or try to fake it
should i make like all the others
my sisters and my brothers
clock in nine to five and come home to my mother
oh no

INTJ
02:37

i haven't felt emotions since the seventh grade
high school made me an intj
i'm drained of energy when i walk through the door
i know just what i want, and what i want is more
i was never popular
because i knew what i wanted
intimidating but anxious
there goes the lonely, angry kid
i haven't felt emotions since the seventh grade
high school made me an intj
i'm drained of energy when i walk through the door
i know just what i want, and what i want is more
you don't listen to me
i just want to be taken seriously
i don't know if i tell lies
about my feelings in therapy
i haven't felt emotions since the seventh grade
high school made me an intj
i'm drained of energy when i walk through the door
i know just what i want, and what i want is more
i can’t be bothered
to concern myself
with feelings of others
feelings of myself
i haven't felt emotions since the seventh grade
high school made me an intj
i'm drained of energy when i walk through the door
i know just what i want, and what i want is more
i haven't felt emotions since the seventh grade
high school made me an intj
i'm drained of energy when i walk through the door
i know just what i want, and what i want is more

have we met before?

she was a magnet for the weirdos and the freaks
he fit the definition down to a t
it was dangerous to be
in their vicinity
she didn't notice he was following her home
she didn't realize that when he broke her window
he had a hunger
he was a fearmonger
there's a strange man outside
and i don't know where to hide
i know i'm scared of him, but shouldn't he be too?
we’re all animals in the end
we rip the meat from the tendons
she never knew she could do what he did
until she knew that her life depended on it
called her special friend, and she told her "come and save me"
he threw a brick through her window and then she
asked who she was
the seventh was all she heard
there was a bang, she was saved by the bell
he would find out if there was a special place in hell
for animals
for cannibals
there's a strange man outside
and i don't know where to hide
i know i'm scared of him, but shouldn't he be too?
we’re all animals in the end
we rip the meat from the tendons
she never knew she could do what he did
until she knew that her life depended on it
pictures of corpses and bags full of bones
perfumes and poodles and fancy colognes
flowers and feeding and biting and eating
that's how she knew she could do what he did
we’re all animals in the end
we rip the meat from the tendons
she never knew she could do what he did
until she knew that her life depended on it
we’re all animals in the end
we rip the meat from the tendons
she never knew she could do what he did
until she knew that her life depended on it

come and take a walk with me
we can hunt for bodies
be careful not to step into the fairy rings
when the ground is soft enough
we can dig our findings up
skin and bone, no meat too tough
bring me to the edge of the forest
let me run free to my horror
sniff it out to be the best
i can't feel anything for her
and so you tell me i did a great job
but i know it's all wrong, wrong, wrong
i'm desensitized and i'm drifting along
bring me to the edge of the forest
let me run free to my horror
sniff it out to be the best
i can't feel anything for her

bored

i don't want to be somebody's
but i want someone to be mine
i'm bored with all the same old songs
bored with this life
feel like everything's been changing
for fifteen straight years
i hope that when it slows down
it's not where i feared
how could you possibly know?
i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry
not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life
i'm living on autopilot, my heart is empty
at least i know my emotions won't get the best of me
i don't want to make you sorry
i feel weak when i am pitied
i just want to tell my truth
i don't need you to understand me
how could you possibly know?
i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry
not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life
i'm living on autopilot, my heart is empty
at least i know my emotions won't get the best of me
how could you possibly know?
how could you possibly know?
how could you possibly know?
how could you possibly know?
i'm just a kid and i can't stand to hear you cry
not because i care about you, i don't have room in my life

you’ve got a lot of explaining to do
in my dream you told me “i love you”
but then i woke up and you treated me the same
stop trying to manipulate my brain
you can’t gaslight a broken lamp
so shut up, cause i know life’s got me in a clamp
you told me that my eyes were blue
but i know they’re grey and now i don’t trust you
i can’t believe i thought you’d ever love me
you barely want to be my friend, it seems
well that’s okay cause i can’t feel anything
tell me you don’t love me so i stop wishing
i used to think about you when i sang about love
now there’s a black hole and it’s not your fault
this one was about wanting more
but this song is not about you anymore

things we never said

sometimes it’s hard for me to follow
but that doesn’t mean i don’t know
what it means when you look at me
i know you wish we never met
you’re probably with your girlfriend
which is why you’re not talking to me
and i can’t even be angry
because you never said you cared about me
no, you never said you cared about me
now i’m between my heart and a hard place
i could leave and stop falling into disgrace
but i really don’t wanna be without you
i know it’s cliche, but i swear that it’s true
you’re probably with your girlfriend
which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me)
and i can’t even be angry
because you never said you cared about me
i know that look on your face when
you stare right through my soul (through my soul)
i know you can tell i’m faking it
i know that you can tell that i am numb
i miss being able to let it go
but i’m past the point where that’s the goal
i miss having all my friends with me
but i’m past the point where people like my company
i miss not thinking so much
but i’m past the point where i can choose to hush
but i don't miss you
i miss being able to let it go
but i’m past the point where that’s the goal
i miss having all my friends with me
but i’m past the point where people like my company
i miss not thinking so much
but i’m past the point where i can choose to hush
but i don't miss you
you’re probably with your girlfriend
which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me)
and i can’t even be angry
because you never said you cared about me
i know that look on your face when
you stare right through my soul (through my soul)
i know you can tell i’m faking it
i know that you can tell that i am numb
you’re probably with your girlfriend
which is why you’re not talking to me (talk to me)
and i can’t even be angry
because you never said you cared about me
i know that look on your face when
you stare right through my soul (through my soul)
i know you can tell i’m faking it
i know that you can tell that i am numb

we can’t stand to see all the kids laugh, laughing
feeling alienated walking through a place that’s happy
with thoughts in our head
our ambition is dead
now we all feel queasy cause you threw up on the sidewalk
we all feel uneasy cause we’re walking down the boardwalk
our words unsaid
we are the living dead
you said you wanted to get away
from all the suffering and pain
and what was i supposed to say?
you told me we leave later today
i should have stopped you
but i didn’t have the heart
i could have saved you
from falling apart
we can’t stand to see all the kids laugh, laughing
feeling alienated walking through a place that’s happy
with thoughts in our head
our ambition is dead
now we all feel queasy cause you threw up on the sidewalk
we all feel uneasy cause we’re walking down the boardwalk
our words unsaid
we are the living dead
we met up with some of your friends
i thought, you’re leaving me again
no matter how hard i tried, i couldn’t pretend
not to be sad when you all left
i ran after you
asked to tag along
you looked at me and said
why didn’t you let me know?
we can’t stand to see all the kids laugh, laughing
feeling alienated walking through a place that’s happy
with thoughts in our head
our ambition is dead
now we all feel queasy cause you threw up on the sidewalk
we all feel uneasy cause we’re walking down the boardwalk
our words unsaid
we are the living dead
we can’t stand to see all the kids laugh, laughing
feeling alienated walking through a place that’s happy
with thoughts in our head
our ambition is dead
now we all feel queasy cause you threw up on the sidewalk
we all feel uneasy cause we’re walking down the boardwalk
our words unsaid
we are the living dead

so i guess that i’m the bitter one, now that you’re done
laughing it up and poking fun
they tell me that i want to be loved, which might be so
but if it’s by you, i would rather just go
obsessive violence and compulsive anger
disorderly is how i live my life, and it’s all just a blur
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
i’m not lonely just because i’m not with you
you think you’re worth so much more than how i see you
yeah, maybe a year ago, i thought i missed you
but looking back i see that i was just so young and stupid like you
You might be angry that I'm fine alone
I don't have a choice, so I sure hope so
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
i feel the heat running through my veins
can feel the energy making its way to my brain
you want to be me, you want to be me
well the only way to do that is to yell and scream
when you see the world the way i do
you’ll finally understand there’s nothing more that you can do
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
you made me feel so bad about what i was
you made me feel like i didn’t deserve love
you made me feel so bad about what i was
you made me feel like i didn’t deserve love
you made me feel so bad about what i was
you made me feel like i didn’t deserve love
well now i hope you’re scared of what i am
because now i’m doing everything i can
to make you hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
baby i don’t care
want you to hate me
