try to deflect somehow

maybe an anecdote or some kind of high brow

dig at yourself that cuts a little too deep

hey buddy lighten up, i didn’t need to see

anyone self harm today

i know there ain’t no blood or tears on display

but it makes no difference to me now

you’re a natural born buzzkill, and how!

i guess i do understand your goal

no one’s allowed to catch a glimpse of your soul

well i’m rollin my eyes at the sheepish way

you’re talkin down to yourself in the mirror each day

are we not all adults here?

how can you let yourself live in such fear?

i don’t think i could sleep at night

if i felt the need to hit myself on the head with a cast iron pan each time i think someone might

it’s not deflecting if you’re doin it alone

and it’s not so funny when your self hatred is known to the public

cuz you know it’s talked about

“they’re a natural born buzzkill, and how!”

i myself left that shit in high school

i was so worried that i might be uncool

but when i look back i just feel like a fool

i know that it’s hard to face life head on

but your bad attitude must make each day feel so long

so grow up and of your head get out

or be a natural born buzzkill

and to your lonesome be devout
