lyrics

Lately, Ive been trading my friends in for mixed drinks and distorted memories
Put duct tape on my mirror because I couldnt stand who was looking back at me
I cant trust my skin; it gives off a secret code
Letting everyone in on things I dont want them to know
Like my body's made of wax and my minds a circuit board I cannot control

I have mood swings I'll blame on whatever I took tonight
So you dont know my minds always occupied
By the problems I ignore till theyre the last things remaining
But usually theyre the only friends I have left waiting
For me
At the end of the day

I hope you got everything you wanted cause thats what you left me with
Just a selfish boy in charge of a slowly sinking ship

I'm just a passing shadow on a constant stain
But I guess thats as good as anything
Ill ever be
So I should quit my bitching and consider myself lucky

I hope you got everything you wanted cause thats what you left me with
Just a selfish boy in charge of a slowly sinking ship
Thats crumbling into a million little splinters
But I dont notice because of the sweet chemical splendor
I use to comfort my always crying liver
And trust me, it always needs some comfort

I hope you got everything you ever wanted.
