I have this thing where I get older but just never wiserMidnights become my afternoonsWhen my depression works the graveyard shiftAll of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room

I should not be left to my own devicesThey come with prices and vicesI end up in crisis (I’ve realized all this time)I wake up screaming from dreamingOne day I’ll watch as you’re leaving‘Cause you got tired of my schemingFor the last time

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s meAt tea time, everybody agreesI’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy babyAnd I’m a monster on the hillToo big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite cityPierced through the heart, but never killed

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruismLike some kind of congressman? (I’ve realized all this time)I wake up screaming from dreamingOne day I’ll watch as you’re leavingAnd life will lose all of its meaningFor the last time

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)At tea time, everybody agreesI’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero

I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the moneyShe thinks I left them in the willThe family gathers around and reads it and someone screams out“She’s laughing up at us from hell”

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s meIt’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s meIt’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees

It’s me, hi (hi), I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
