lyrics

I’m trying to play it cool while still feeling apprehensive,
You make me the butt of your jokes and I’m finding it offensive, and it’s hard to laugh.
It’s hard to take it on the chin, or to crack a smile - got to try to drop my guard every once in a while,
I’ve got to find a way to roll with the punches, ‘cus it’s not before time.

My eyes dart around; I’m trying to guess what’s coming;
You’ll make an innocent jest now you better start running, ‘cus I’ll go nuclear.
I’ll ask questions when I don’t want to hear the answers - offer me the cure and I’ll see it like the cancer. It’s easy not to trust, not so easy to say why,
Why I’d rather just shut them all out and run now, and I won’t apologise.

I can’t figure out why I’m so bitter, even after all this time;
I can only guess I’ve been self-loathing for the sake of self-loathing,
Better wake up and smell the turpentine.

It’s got me stressed-out until I’m almost delirious,
and I’m sure you’re gonna ask why I’m always so serious - you don’t wanna know.
Please don’t make me tell the same dragged-out story - it used to make sense, but now it’ll just bore me, so I’ll keep it to myself if it’s all the same to you;
I’m just so sick of airing all my problems without knowing what to do.

I can’t figure out why I’m so bitter, even after all this time;
I can only guess I’ve been depressive for the sake of being depressing,
Better wake up and smell the turpentine.

Better wake up, better wake up.
Take it now you’ve got the message? I hope it’s sinking in, ‘cus you’re not getting any more,
That’s your lot – no you’re not getting any more.

I can’t figure out why I’m so bitter, even after all this time;
I can only guess I’ve been self-loathing for the sake of self-loathing,
Better wake up and smell the turpentine.
I can only guess I’ve been depressive for the sake of being depressing,
Better wake up and smell the turpentine.
It’s time to wake up and smell the turpentine.
