Lyrics

I don't wanna write unless it's about everything I hate
Please God tell me why you gave me music
Yet no means to do it
No space to move it
No time to lose it
No money to prove it
Well I hate you for it
I don't wanna live unless I'm saying everything I mean
Rather kill myself than stay imprisoned in this life I lead
It's dark and cold and distracting
Leave me alone you stupid dream
Oh I'm so irritated by the simplest things
The fact I have to work to pay for shit that I don't need
I wanna wanna help somebody
I wanna wanna help myself
But until my hands are on these keys
From nine to five I'll lie here dead
And I hate you for it
I don't wanna paint unless it looks like everything I hate
All my memories of burning churches in the light of day
I got your flowers babe while I was suffering
Rusty nails in place drop them in a vase
I miss your dumb face
And I'm sick of family watching me fail at everything
Tired of this structure that's been forced on me heavily
I hate pretending that I'm happy
I find myself again off a cliff free falling
Oh I'm so irritated by the simplest of things
The fact I have to work to pay for this shit that I don't need
I wanna wanna help somebody
I wanna wanna help myself
But until my hands are on these keys
From nine to five I'll lie here dead
Oh take my advice
Write about what's ailing you
It's better than playing nice
Wishing fire would consume the room
Oh take my words
Paint about what's ailing you
You can separate your hand
That brush extends from your womb
I could lie here dead and gone
I could let my body sound an alarm
Could lie here dead and gone
But instead I'm here to sound an alarm
To remind you to stop and be
Breathe write release
Just breathe write release
