Anti Hero
I have this thingWhere i get olderBut just never wiserMidnights becomeMy afternoons
When my depressionWorks the graveyard shiftAll of the peopleI’ve ghosted standThere in the room
I should not be leftTo my own devicesThey come with pricesAnd vices i end up in crisisTale as old as time
I wake up screamingFrom dreaming one dayI’ll watch as you’re leaving‘Coz you got tired of my schemingFor the last time
It’s me, hiI’m the problem, it’s meAt tea time everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sunBut never in the mirrorIt must be exhaustingAlways rooting for the anti hero
Sometimes i feel likeEverybody is a sexy babyAnd i’m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang outSlowly lurching towardYour favorite cityPierced through the heartBut never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissismI disguise as altruismLike some kind of congressmanTale as old as time
I wake up screaming from dreamingOne day i’ll watch as you’re leavingAnd life will lose all its meaningFor the last time
It’s me hiI’m the problem, it’s meAt tea time everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sunBut never in the mirrorIt must be exhaustingAlways rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dreamMy daughter-in-lawKills me for the moneyShe thinks i left them in the will
The family gathers ‘round and reads itAnd then someone screams outShe’s laughing up at us from hell!
It’s me, hiI’m the problem, it’s meIt’s me, hiI’m the problem, it’s meIt’s me, hi
Everybody agreesEverybody agrees
It’s me, hiI’m the problem, it’s meAt tea time everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sunBut never in the mirrorIt must be exhaustingAlways rooting for the anti hero
Watch now
