my brain’s too fucked up so i drink but can’t get high
and i get distracted by every dog that walks by
i talk too much and i’m so fucking loud
i think the day i die will be the day i shut my mouth
i’d talk to you if i could hold a real conversation without hiding behind dark humor lined with self deprecation
i don’t like bell peppers and i don’t like wearing socks but i swear there’s things i do like
like i think led zeppelin rocks
some people think i’m negative but i think i’m doing better at looking on the bright side
lacey’s just gone to get her sweater
i like my dirty green converse and i like my dirty green hair
and i like my dirty mind
and i like it when people stare
and you can say it’s cliché that i’m writing this song today about shit you’ve heard a thousand times
maybe just because it rhymes
and i don’t expect you to stick around for all my sad jam sessions
because they’re less of songs and more of just acoustic depression
but i swear someday i’ll write something that doesn’t sound like this
i’ll write the next hallelujah
maybe then i won’t feel like shit
my heart’s too fucked up so i don’t usually date boys but the ones that i did date i now tend to avoid
like come on over and watch me watch law and order
and you can think that it’s cute that i’ve got this quirky mood disorder
you’d hold me hand while i’d chain smoke and pout thinking about taking an easy way out
then i’d probably write a song about how much i hate the world
you’d laugh and say
“damn i sure love punk rock girls”
cause don’t it feel just right to put me in that stereotype of girls with dyed hair that you all know with their record collections and their manic depressive episodes
and don’t it feel just right to think of me as someone like ramona flowers or clementine from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
and don’t it feel just right to put me in that stereotype of girls with dyed hair that you all know with their record collections and their manic depressive episodes
