lyrics

If I'm bound to fail
Let me find out on my own
I don't want to blame you
When everything goes down wrong
I got no path and no mission and I'm haunted by visions
Of a cold, dark place empty of superstition
So if I'm bound to fail
Let me fail alone

Yeah, I want someone to find me and fuck me
And tell me that I'm beautiful when I know I'm not
Yeah, I've had weaker nights and days before, baby
But this one's joustin' for the top spot
I cower from the void like the scared little boy
That I was before my parents died
Guess I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side
I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side

I shower with a beer cracked
Let soap and water spill in
Dump a gulp on my head
Feel it sink in my skin
Somewhere some clouds part and a secret's revealed
But I'm too dumb to notice and I'm too numb to feel
I shower with a beer cracked
Am I bathing in sin?

Yeah, I want someone to find me and fuck me
And tell me that I'm beautiful when I know I'm not
Yeah, I've had weaker nights and days before, baby
But this one's joustin' for the top spot
I cower from the void like the scared little boy
That I was before my parents died
Guess I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side
Yeah, I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side

I hope this track that I trip down
Ain't no easy way out
To mumble and stumble
To mope and to pout
I came up short reaching for the sky
But some sad galaxy's still shining in my eyes
So if I trip down this track
I'll try not to stay down

Yeah, I want someone to find me and fuck me
And tell me that I'm beautiful when I know I'm not
Yeah, I've had weaker nights and days before, baby
But this one's joustin' for the top spot
I cower from the void like the scared little boy
That I was before my parents died
Guess I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side
I'm all grown up
Hopin' on the other side
