i put my baggage in a little box every night
fuck around until i've gotten my needs filled
but i'm alright if you ask me
so now i'm playing pretend that i am happy
when i'm with friends
so they don't desert me cause i'm a gigantic fucking bummer
is it wrong to say
that i'm better off this way?
feeling awful every morning
and then ok in the night
cause at least
i'll feel relief
even if it has to come from pain, and
things change
or stay the same
or temporarily change and then change back
and if you paid for this get your change back
that's why it's ok
that i just mope and sleep all day
i have no hope i have no skills
and i don't wanna play this game
and i am seven again
found a stash of pokémon cards and played it with friends
my buddies all started playing magic again
and i am genuinely happy i don't need to pretend
it feels wrong to say
that i'm better off this way
i am genuinely happy
you don't really do the same
stay friends
play pretend
even if it's not a good idea
things change
or stay the same
or temporarily change and then change back
and if you paid for this get your change back
things change or stay the same
no matter what i do i cannot affect a single fucking thing
