lyrics

I'll be scared for the rest of my life
I'll be scared until I die


Why don't they like me?!?!?
I scream proudly over the mountaintop,
"These aren't my people!!!"
Did they hear me?
It was up to them to change my mind!
Now I call from behind


I didn't go to class the other day
My professor thought I was angry at him
But I was just sleeping


I'll be scared until I die
For the rest of my life
I'll be scared until I die


Everyone is over it
They know I fetishize my suffering
Struggling, in class my mind buffering
Huddling around for warmth
I'm on the outside as my teeth chatter
Unpleasant noise, the loudest in the room

I don't command an audience
Not anymore
Not the way I used to,
Not since I became the boy
Who's always sorry for himself
The least attractive thing to do would be to try to help


If you like this
Darling, if you like this
You might be a bigger failure than I


I'll be scared until I die
All my life
I'll be scared until I die
