Won't Be Me - Telltale

Worry more, love myself less

Press eject, forget the reset

Never hit the rewind, finish it

On the floor with my old VHS

Like a tape you can play me

Put me in when you’re lonely

Pressure building up ‘til my ears ring

I’ve still been reaching for the kitchen sink

That sinking feeling tied my hands and both my feet

Had to cut the rope, been forgetting how to breath

And now I’m giving up again

Another eighty milligrams

Between the medicine my therapist prescribes

The angst in my veins and the late night drives

No one seems to recognize the pain in my eyes

It’s like the chemicals that keep life stable gave up on me

It’s not my fault that I don’t understand what makes you happy

‘Cause how can I know fulfillment when I have never felt it

So don’t ask me what you need

‘Cause I know it won’t be me

Like a fish tank my head swims

Ibuprofen for the bed spins

Death is looking in with an evil grin

Grinning turning into grammacing

That evil smile got me feeling paranoid

Had me running scared ever since I was a boy

Now he’s coming out again

Yeah, that’s who I really am

Between the thoughts tucked up in my hollow brain

The ink in my skin and the scars on my leg

My life has been rearranged

My disposition changed

It’s like the chemicals that keep life stable gave up on me

It’s not my fault that I don’t understand what makes you happy

‘Cause how can I know fulfillment when I have never felt it

So don’t ask me what you need

‘Cause I know it won’t be me

Yeah, I know it won’t be me

It’s like the chemicals that keep life stable gave up on me

It’s not my fault that I don’t understand what makes you happy

‘Cause how can I know fulfillment when I have never felt it

So don’t ask me what you need

‘Cause I know it won’t be me

That evil smile got me feeling paranoid

Had me running scared ever since I was a boy

Now he’s coming out again

Yeah, that’s who I really am

Between the thoughts tucked up in my hollow brain

The ink in my skin and the scars on my leg

My life has been rearranged

My disposition changed
