Anti-Hero

[Verse 1] I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room [Pre-Chorus] I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming [Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero [Verse 2] Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city Pierced through the heart, but never killed [Pre-Chorus] Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman? I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving And life will lose all its meaning [Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero [Bridge] I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money She thinks I left them in the will The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out "She's laughing up at us from Hell" [Breakdown] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi Everybody agrees [Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
