For that moment when you just need to tell them to go fuck themselves.

lyrics

Do you ever have a day where everything in the world
Just makes you wanna kill yourself and everything else first?
Where everybody sucks and everything is broken
And the simplest thoughts are like writing Tolkien?
That's how I feel when I'm with you
Yeah, that's how I feel when I'm with you

Do you ever have thoughts about suicide
And then throw them all out because you'd have to try?
And when you want to get laid more than anything else
And that's still not enough to get you off of the couch?
That's how I feel when I'm with you
Yeah, that's how I feel when I'm with you

It's not a good day when I say to myself
I want to give my brain to science, leave it up on a shelf
But when you told me it was good, yeah, you told me a lie
And now I'm lyin' on the ground with my back to the sky
And I don't wanna live like you tell me to do
Cause I can't believe you're ever gonna tell me the truth
And if it wasn't for my music and it weren't for my friends
I'd say to hell with the world, I can't wait 'til it ends

You know I tried to like you, I tried really hard
But you made it impossible to not be Picard
Now every day I see you it's all I can do
To not stand up and throw my shit and yell "Fuck you!"
'Cause every day with you is a descent into hell
It makes me glad I spent so many years building my shell
And the end can't come fast enough for my taste
So I can heal my brain before it all goes to waste

Well it's not the kind of thing I can choose to ignore
And so soon you're gonna find me walkin' out of the door
And if that day comes and takes you by surprise
I'll tell you now, I got sick of your lies
Soon, I won't have to be with you
Yeah, soon, I won't have to be with you
