The Unbearable Purposelessness Of Being - No Thank You

i’ve gotten good at kicking bad habits

it’s misunderstood as giving up, abandonment

or anything else that i’ve been accused of

cuz everyone forgets i used to feel love

but not any more, no i buried that weight

cuz the burden weighed more than my body could take

cuz when everybody hurts you it’s a smile that you fake

you never know how strong you are until you start to break

i’m twenty something and i’m still alive

self medication is how i get by

still listen to «nimrod» when i’m getting high

i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine

so on this anniversary, ten years to date

i think of all my ex-lovers and the ones i couldn’t save

cuz if i’ve learned a thing i’m the one who had to change

you can’t rely on someone whose problems stay the same

and i’ve burnt down bridges, broke promises and lied

but i’m good at keeping secrets, hold loyalty up high

and i’ve got my best friends, try hard to protect them

from what i’ve become, all fucked up and numb

i’m twenty something and i’m still alive

self medication is how i get by

still listen to «nimrod» when i’m getting high

i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine

i’m twenty something, i’m doing just fine

i’m twenty something and i’m still alive
