Anti-Hero Lyrics
I have this thing where I get
older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the
graveyard shift, all of the people
I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I’ll watch as you’re leaving
Cause you got tired of my scheming
It’s me, hi I’m the problem, it’s me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun,
but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always
rooting for the anti-hero
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I’m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly
lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
A tale as old as time
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I’ll watch as you’re leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
It’s me, hi I’m the problem, it’s me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun
but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always
rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dream my daughter-in-law
kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers around and reads it
And then someone screams out
“She’s laughing up at us from hell”
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi
I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi
Everybody agrees everybody agrees
It’s me hi
I’m the problem it’s me
At teatime everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun,
but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always
rooting for the anti-hero
