📜 Lyrics
Well, I thought it was nothing
But somehow that nothing wasn't it
And I want you to listen
But I'm just a dime-a-dozen angry white man
So who really gives a shit
Instilled as a child that something must be special in my head
I imagined it like a museum
But it was not
It was something else instead
Just something else instead
With untenable pockets
I panicked in work debt slavery
I can wear an idiot smile
Like the one in romantic comedies
And I don't want to have to kill them
I don't want to have to kill them
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill them
I don't want to have to kill them
But I will
But I will
So I realized a vision where I played the piano on a stage
And the president smirked at my precious idealism
Just a monkey in a different kind of cage
And I appreciate my genetics
I know my bone structure isn't bad
But I'm as paranoid as my mother
And just as narcissistic as my dad
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
Oh, I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
I had a dream where I carried this rage inside my hands
Inside of a house I'd never been to
There stood a stranger
A mostly unmemorable man
Without any warning
I picked up a wooden rocking chair
I slammed into his body
Over and over and over
Until all his skin began to tear
I had no intention of stopping
I continued until everything was red
My brain censored the violence
As he slowly flattened
Until I could no longer see his head
And that's when I heard all the sirens
Blaring outside in the street
So I ran into the kitchen
And grabbed the nearest blade
And I began to slice it through my own meat
Deeper and deeper and deeper
Over and over and over
I dragged it into intersecting lines
Up and down both my arms
As I tried to escape them
But my body just won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
They said, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
Honey, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
They said, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
Honey, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself, honey
But somehow that nothing wasn't it
And I want you to listen
But I'm just a dime-a-dozen angry white man
So who really gives a shit
Instilled as a child that something must be special in my head
I imagined it like a museum
But it was not
It was something else instead
Just something else instead
With untenable pockets
I panicked in work debt slavery
I can wear an idiot smile
Like the one in romantic comedies
And I don't want to have to kill them
I don't want to have to kill them
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill them
I don't want to have to kill them
But I will
But I will
So I realized a vision where I played the piano on a stage
And the president smirked at my precious idealism
Just a monkey in a different kind of cage
And I appreciate my genetics
I know my bone structure isn't bad
But I'm as paranoid as my mother
And just as narcissistic as my dad
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
Oh, I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will
And I don't want to have to kill you
I don't want to have to kill you
But I will

My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
My body won't let me die
They said, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
Honey, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
They said, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself
Honey, honey, save me from yourself
Save me from yourself, honey
