lyrics

Death: I think about it a lot, at least when you're with me
It's funny when I think about it, every time we drink about
It has to do with who's in your sheets
I heard you moaning again last night in the room beside my bed
And I'm beginning to think this was a bad idea
But it made so much sense in my head

I'm just the guy you fuck when you're feeling stuck
And the dialogue is just for the show
I guess it's better, though, than being alone

I drive my car all day, all night, making deliveries
And you know I got your message, and I'm sorry I didn't text,
You made me want to drive right into a tree
You're just a silly girl who lives inside a canvas world
Where you can paint the walls the way that you like
Even if the picture doesn't look right

I'm just the guy you fuck when you're feeling stuck
And the dialogue is just for the show
I guess it's better, though, than being alone

It's not that I would like to die, it's just that I might not mind
It's not that I would like to die, it's just that I might not mind
I'm swinging down from the rafters
I'm plugging into the bathtub
A second bottle of Aspirin
Tell me why are you laughing?

So I hope that you find my replacement and I'll finally be liberated
From the guilt and the obsession stemming deep in this complexion
That's been brewing since I knew how to speak
And if you're there to see my casket lower like a balloon basket
Just sing along in your head
Because I'm better, you're better, we're better,
I'm better off dead
