[Verse 1]
I was hFoping that maybe wCe could love each Bbother until we dFie
But I'm lFearning that life doesn't Cgive a shit about Bbus and I'm done asking whyF  
When I wFake up at night in mCy coffin and it's Bbtime to go get a bFite
I'm Fthankful you left when you Cdid, there was something in your Bblife that just wasn't riFght
Alright
FBah-da-da-dum-bumC-bum-bum-ba-da-da-Bbbum-bum-ba-da-da-dFah
[Verse 2]
My Fhabits are getting Cweirder, I've been drinking the Bbblood from the mice that I fFeed
But I'm Fworking my way up to Chuman beings, that's what Bbhealthy bloodsuckers nFeed
I'm sForry for all the Clack of support, well I Bbguess I forgot how to lFove
I don't Fblame you these days for Cletting me go, when my Bbpushes all came to sChove
[Chorus]
But I'll Bbstop pretending tChat I'm something I was nFever meant to bBbe
It wasn't Dmfulfilling me, darling, it was Akilling me
I'm Bbturning myself inCto something tFhat's perfect for mBbe
I'm Dmlearning lessons as I live, yAou want to get, you got to give
You Freally want it, Fyou have got to BbfightBb  
I Dmthink I'll be a Ccreature of the Fnight

[Verse 3]
I'm Fsick of this town I've been Csticking around for too Bblong, I gotta lFeave
In the Fmornings I wake up and I Ccan't get happy and when Bbnight falls I can't even bFreathe
'Cause the Fmenacing conflict that Cplagues my mind from the sBbhit that's never happened to mFe
I'm Fstriken by guilt, God won't Cleave me alone, she finds my Bbsoffucation so goddamn fFunny
I'm always Fstressing out trying to think Cabout fitting in, but my true Bbcolors inevitably sFhow
I just Fwanna be something Cdifferent from every Bbother asshole named JFoe
I'm always Fworkin' for purpose, something that will Cgive meaning to the rest of my Bblife that I may not lFive
I'm always Fpassing out thinking about why I Cmove my bowels But I Bbjust run out of shits to gFive
[Chorus]
But I'll Bstop pretending Cthat I'm something I was Fnever meant to Bbbe
It wasn't Dmfulfilling me, darling, it was Akilling me
I'm Bturning myself iCnto something Fthat's perfect for Bbme
I'm Dmlearning lessons as I live, yAou want to get, you got to give
You Freally want it, Fyou have got to BbfightBb

FStare, the hopelessness I Bbfelt
Tryin' not to think Dmabout
The last years of my Bblife
When BbI still hCad a wFife
I've moved on to newer Athings
Embracing what life Dmbrings
As I'm waiting for my Bbfangs
And Dother Cstranger Fthings
I decided my own Bbfate, and I can hardly wDmait
I'm becoming myBbself, I don't nBbeed anyoCne elFse
I'm coming like a Aflood, I'm living off your Dmblood
And I'm making this my Bbtown, and tCaking you dFownBb  F  Bb  F  Bb
