Original Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm so sick of me, wake up and hate to breath
And I pride myself in that, so dramatic, I'll' admit
I'm so typical, my life ain't difficult
But I'm so caught up in it, just a lowlife, I'll admit
I'm self-critical, tryhard original
Oh, I pride myself on that, such a loser, I'll admit
And I ask myself when my time will come
Will I run away, will I run away?
I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I's anyone else
I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I's anyone else
I'm so paranoid, most people I avoid
Not seeking sympathy (nah)
I just want out of this
Hide under an umbrella (yeah)
I try to shelter myself from the rain
I try to stop my head from going insane
I'm counting down, all the days
I swear that there's a price they took
Being alone outside, they
Cannot suffocate me when they
Cannot fucking chase me out (Ayy)
Anagram all of the letters
Tellin' me that I'm gonna be fine
Cleaning the world is out of my mind
Piece'em together and dump on the sides
I'ma be alone tonight if I try to stay alive and realise
I'm going blind
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I's anyone else
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I's anyone else
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time (Someone save me)
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind (Loser, fuck)
Don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time (yeah)
Don't let 'em waste your time
I'm the original loser
(Congratulations)
Some days I wish I's anyone else
