lyrics

I can imagine no better punishment for you
Than to find you're just like everyone else
You always denied it made you proud
That you never really fit into any crowd
But it's so easy to spot your tells

So-called unique perspective, your special shade of grey
Just little lies you tell yourself to get you through the day
When you unveil your manifesto, all you'll have to say is

Like is worse than love, Love is worse than hate
Drowning in the fall, Living the cliche
Life is worse than death, Nothing's worse than fate
Choking on them all, Living the cliche

So stop, just stop it right now
I can already feel you gearing up to spill another story
Slanted and sensationalized, an overwrought affair
Infected with your delusions of fortune & glory

The way you hang your head, make believe you're feeling shame
That's how they spot a narcissist by any other name
No wonder when you sing your song, the chorus is so lame

You assume that you're the exception to every single rule
You've been a goddamn fool
You believed that it wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't happen here
It happened right between your ears
