lyrics

now that my comic book years are done
i'm only getting drunk on the weekends
no more special six issue mini-series runs
i'm only spendin money on reasons to wake up

i'm sick of indie films,
and i'm sick of floral skirts,
i'm sick of faux malaise
wanna give a shit about anything else
than what she'd like
i'm sick of losing common ground
bury my nights
cause i'm worn out

i'm worn out and i
can't be bothered
i'm done treading water
and i'll sink to the bottom of the bottle
with my problems
i'm gonna work on them for you
i don't deserve it, it's true

i spent all summer pacing back and forth
tryna stake a claim on your heart's porch
the same day i watched you graduate
i found you cryin by the tennis courts
so what's the point of staying grounded for,
if i'll never feel it like i did before?
when grief is something that you calculate, oh god
i'll let it spill from every pore

i'm worn out and i
can't be bothered
i'm done treading water
and i'll sink to the bottom of the bottle
with my problems
i'm gonna work on them for you
i don't deserve it, it's true

it was that pain to which you could relate
when it was us against the human race
and the only times i really felt in love
were the points at which we'd separate

it's the same dream that i have every night,
of the apparatus gleaming bright
with a single push i could disintegrate
every living thing in sight

so i'll point the death ray up
and aim it at the sun
goodnight to planet earth
goodnight to everyone

this time i won't wake up

now that my comic book years are done
i'm only getting drunk when i need it
