lyrics

[oh shit. ive been pinged in a group chat. goddamn!]

i hope i leave my room untidy
just to prove i lived a life
i am nothing but a hybrid
walking in the skin of everyone ive loved

when they see the paint and dirty cups
on my desk
they wont think
of all the friends ive left behind

theyll say he was an artist
and he was a poet
and he was a writer
and i know who wrote it

i havent had an original thought in my head
since i was a kid
and its starting to wear me down

i am nothing but a tapeworm
lifting resources from others
and i sit
and watch them bleed creativity

and i take, and i take, and i take

i am nothing but a worthless
waste of time and space and money
and when i die
all i lack
will be visible in my open wounds

theyll say he was a writer
and he was a poet
and he was an artist
but i know who painted it first
