[Intro] I know it sounds weird I do want you to look back on this and smile, but I kinda want that smile to be through tears [Verse 1] I ain't shouting at ya - I'm shouting to ya Hello darkness my old friend let's turn you into filthy lucre And suture wounds and tumors with dark humor mixed with hubris In lieu of future suitors with a blast of nasty rumors Seems the light at the end of the tunnel was a fire Now I'm choking on the smoke in my lungs, I'm so tired But I can't go to sleep with a mind that's so wired You call that sh** depression - I call it inspired Talk is cheap when you speak the weak prose you're throwing You're just a sheep in a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing's clothing And the holes ain't closing, just exposing goatskin This corrosion shows you can't control the motion sh**, the romance is dead? Blame the hopeless romantics Resigned to hopelessness their romantic plans with sycophantics So I won't put the nice things we do on YouTube Don't need the world the world to love me - I just need you to [Hook x2] The world don't revolve around you but it should I ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good Ain't saying I love ya but I probably could Have [Verse 2] I thought it was love but I was wrong Tortured a dove just to prove Prince wrong - I love that song I guess you broke my heart but it kinda needed breaking And the grating exasperatings hating's already dissipating "Love..it's a weird thing ain't it?" You're f**ing right it is Enlightened by the disquiet sight, I kinda like this sh** We fall in love with that which we project on each other Then settle for reality or just reject one another So I respect the motherf**er that reflects upon their lover And then lets them walk away or resurrects and recovers Way more than I respect those that just close up the shutters And ignore the sh**ty shell within which both of them suffers I wore my heart on my sleeve and you stole my f**ing shirt But go ahead and wear that sh** - happiness of the absurd These words divert the hurt and send me soundly to sleep But every word I wrote I meant so f**ing read 'em and weep [Hook x2]
