Lyrics

Nihilist

[Intro]

(Ooh, ooh)

[Verse]

I live in the future in my head

Wish I wasn't alone in my bed

This is just the way it is

Yeah, this is just the way it is

In my bedroom, I like it cold

Got no schedule, I might say no

My watch tells time that's two months early

Surely, I got nowhere to go

[Chorus]

Woah, I don't want to go

Pull me back to now

Take away what I've got

So I don't lose my crown

Woah, I don't want to go

Pull me back to now

Take away what I've got

So I don't lose my crown

[Bridge]

(Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]

These days I feel like I got more

Than I asked for, and more

I got reports to go door to door

To store thoughts beneath the floorboards

And I could care less if worlds at war

I'd care more if I livеd in the present

Wasn't trying to flеx it, but I'm out like the Brexit

I want bagels and cream cheese

Pizza and breadsticks

I just turned eighteen and I'm nihilistic
