I start the day with a healthy bowl of shame
Then I wash it down with my mistakes
By the time I hit the door I’m nearly breathless
(I always feel used up and restless)
So what model of myself do you see?
I keep it vague so you can’t hurt me
And with a little luck I can get unstuck
I’m always running on empty
Can’t let it show
And I know
The good times use me up
While the bad ones bring me down
I’m running on good intentions
And it's harder than it sounds
So use me up and bring me down
I’ll never come around
And I’ve been here before
And I can’t move backwards anymore
I lay awake every night in my room
I sleepwalk in the afternoon
Counting thirty thousand ways to tell myself it’s okay
(It’s not okay)
I told myself that I couldn’t live like them
Masochistic model citizen
But a life like this just can’t be life at all
And so I fall
It’s why I pace the halls while everybody’s sleeping
I can’t let it show
And my four walls are way too thin for screaming
I'm old enough to know
The good times use me up
While the bad ones bring me down
I’m running on good intentions
And it's harder than it sounds
So use me up and bring me down
I’ll never come around
And I’ve been here before
And I can’t move backwards anymore
It breaks me down
The good times use me up
While the bad ones bring me down
I’m running on good intentions
And it's harder than it sounds
So use me up and bring me down
I’ll never come around
And I’ve been here before
And I can’t move backwards anymore
