lyrics

It’s a hard one to accept but
it could be possible
not to feel
like a shitty version of myself
all the time

in fact that might be better
to not feel shitty in general
I mean mentally
and physically
so…

I mean the world gains nothing
When I’m feeling pain
If I don’t take an aspirin
Just take the fucking aspirin, Dave

The world gains nothing
If I flagellate myself
With no productive end in mind
Just to go through the motions

Today would be
An okay day
Make that a real good day
To cut myself
A little slack
Or like a lot of slack
