Anti‐Hero (Triple J Like a Version)

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works the graveyard shift, of all the people I've ghosted stand there in the room I should not be left to my own devices They come with prisis and vices I end up in crisis, tale as old as time I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming For the last time 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 I literally never feel like anyone's a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Too big to hang out, slowly lurching towards your favorite city Pierced through the heart, but never killed 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 For the last time 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 The anti-hero
