She said that I'm not killing time, time is surely slowly killing me,
And all I see, are wastes of time and energy.
I feel like putting on a mask so noone asks 'why the long face?',
Waking up was a mistake.
But I think season is the reason you're still bundled up indoors,
You could draw more than flies,
And I think it's fine to feel lonely sometimes.
He said hang me up, watch me dry, afraid to fail, afraid to try.
If you ask yourself why you're getting out of bed,
Eight times out of ten you'll end up sleeping in.
And the most life affirming question that I've asked,
Is 'would you like fries with that?'
A little tense a little bitter from the betterment of man,
You never listen to me, but feelings don't require THC.
So let's find new names for feelings, stop listening to your demons.
I know you're scared, I know you're drowning in the overwhelming fear,
I know you're looking for answers but you won't find them here,
At the bottom of a bottle filled by someone who thinks that,
Drugs are better for your health.
You need to help yourself.
You might not like yourself, but that's alright,
Cause I like you just fine.
