lyrics

[i wanna be selfish
i wanna be the only pretty little princess that you like
hm, ahh]

(yeah)
i only lie to my dentist
my personality's the human-born form of iceberg lettuce (what?)
but i still get up on that nuke stuff
killstreak of three conversations didn't go too rough (really?)

i promised myself i wouldn't like the bitter taste
and give in to the adulthood but i saw no other way
what a waste!

i can't go out tonight, i'm up in my room
i might find time to not do nothing but not now, maybe soon

i'm too busy cauterizing nonexistent wounds
a tomb is where my sense of pride fell some time after the womb
thought i was fine but then soon a fresh contusion on the leg of a friend
the self-imposed open-air scar scarred me to no end (to no end)

depression, anxiety a foreign concept
well you're studying abroad now boy
i booked the flight while you slept

as if it makes any difference when i work towards something
my path's peaked and plastered on pottery and it means nothing

i never text or call my old friends even though i miss 'em
live life according to my Idealistic Masochism
my only solace is my xbox 360
oh wait i'm sorry but i gotta get on stage or they'll miss me but i-

(now announcing: the school famous: joey small!)

i'm the greatest
i'm the smartest
and i'm nice
but it's the hardest
that i'm unarmed for

i used to stare at pretty people but now i only glance
i got the biggest piece of potential in the world in my pants (woo)
for now squandered on porn stars and amateurs
lie about your age in exchange for sexual favorers

the slight folds in the center of a t-shirt
too tight, will flatten out before my teeth hurt

i got a girlfriend and she's older than me
a fact i'd brag about to all my friends if i had any (hmm)

but i have fans and a band, got videos on the announcements
and it might make me sad being surrounded by accountants
but the economist in me knows better
implicitly put on a pedestal above table-setters

you got a free-ride, go to college in a year
but you can't even make eggs, live alone, do your laundry
whatcha fear?

i'm ill equipped for the world but i'm well equipped for mine
thought i'd surprise them all but i only shocked a flatline

i never text or call my old friends even though i miss 'em
live life according to my Idealistic Masochism
might be a waste, but i don't want to die since
my life is rather loud, but honestly i prefer si-

..

why did this happen to me?
i had the best of intentions
for this life i have affection
but if i'll feel like this
perhaps it was misplaced

i'm not sad
i'm not anything
but like temperature it might be the same

so if i'm uninvited
i'll go to from where i came

this is not your fault

it never was your fault

it's mine
