lyrics

Maybe I should've stopped chasing you after you spoke your piece
What can I say?
I live a high risk/high reward kind of lifestyle and I did what I had to
The thing about love is that you can't run away from it
This is not some romantic fantasy
Stranger than fiction, I met you at the right metaphysical time and place by chance
This is the circumstance that tempted me to suicide but I wasn't about to empathize with young Werther without giving it the old college try
I still had a few threads to hold on to that were connected to nothing
And all you needed to do was to tell me your fucking name

My pain is real and I'm doing my best to deal with it
Cutting myself is not healthy, yes, I know
But that's how I express myself and I think it's fucking beautiful
This is how I deal with my pain and who are you to tell me to do any different?
Just because it's not a socially acceptable way to self destruct doesn't make it any worse than your vices
I don't want to get drunk every weekend and forget about my problems
I'd rather face them head on with a knife alone in my apartment

White privilege doesn't make my pain any less painful
Don't underestimate the suburban blues
At the height of undeserved wealth you'll find me in despair
Blessed with an everyday face and a low sex drive
I don't even fit in with the outcasts but you can still paint me with a broad stroke
