[Verse 1]
            
So I took my m

              
edication and 

    
I poured my tr

auma out
         
On some sad-ey

ed middle aged

 man's over-pr

iced new leath

er couch
           
And we argued 

              
about Jesus, f

         
inally found s

ome middle gro

und
        
I said I'm cur

ed


[Verse 2]
             
And I've divvi

              
ed up my anger

       
 into thirty s

eparate parts
          
Keep the bad s

hit in my live

r and the rest

 around my hea

rt
            
I'm still angr

              
y at my parent

             
s for what the

ir parents did

 to them
            
But it's a sta

rt


[Pre-Chorus]
              
But I ignore t

            
hings and I mo

     
ve sideways
             
Till I forget 

              
what I felt in

             
 the first pla

ce
              
At the end of 

             
the day I know

             
 there are wor

              
se ways to sta

        
y alive


[Chorus]
              
'Cause everyon

     
e's growing
              
And everyone's

  
 healthy
             
I'm terrified 

              
that I might n

              
ever have met 


me
             
Oh, if my engi

              
ne works perfe

        
ct on empty
              
I guess I'll d

[Verse 3]
         
So I forgot my

 medication
      
Fell into a ma

nic high
          
Spent my savin

gs at a Lulu

Now I'm suffering in style
        
Why is pain so

 damn impatien

t
              
Ain't like it'

   
s got a place 

to be
              
Keeps rushing 


me


[Pre-Chorus]
              
But I ignore t

            
hings and I mo

Till I forget

[Bridge]
             
And if all my 

           
life was waste

d
            
I don't mind, 

              
I'll watch it 

 
go
             
It's better to

             
 die numb than

            
 feel it all
             
Oh, if all my
