Give me something happier to write about
Than living my life every day with my wife
Doesn't feel sad enough to sing about
For once in my life everything feels right
That's not true, you know I overcomplicate
Not to mention I also exaggerate
But I don't need to suffer for my art
It's a myth that's been perpetuated
Every single day from the start
It makes me sick and I'm kind of over it
I just want to live a simple quiet life
I don't even do this for the fame
Because let's be real, that's never gonna happen
And celebrities are lame
At the mercy of our discernment
So long as they have suffered
Then we're happy that they earned it
I could easily sound like a twat
But singing makes it sweeter than tweeting my thoughts
It doesn't really matter if you care
Odds are you're a stranger at your laptop somewhere
It's weird to think that people you don't know
Will be more likely to show up if you put on a show
But I don't need to suffer for my art
Or glorify my pain and trauma
Just for you to watch me fall apart
'Cause that's just abuse-
Self-inflicted so I can be of more use to you
We tend to turn the artist into saint
So their death can be poetic
And The 27 Club can still reign
Gone before their prime
But I don't want to die before I reach mine
(Death can be poetic)
(I don't want to die before I-)
Mine
Mainstream doesn't mean that it's a good thing
It's okay to question what you should think
You don't have to suffer for your art
Or sacrifice your happiness for scars
If you didn't think that irony was strong
Just know i pushed through
My stomach cramps
To finish this song
(Gross)
