lyrics

Spilling guts, spilling ink
Whatever made me think that I'd be good at this
Where can I find the answer
I wish I could trace back
To the day that this began and stop the hourglass
From losing all this sand

I'm stupid and selfish
Introspective as hell with a death wish
And I know you don't want to hear this
A room full of strangers
In a basement with my friends
And I don't know which one I'm more afraid of
These days

Turning stones, turning pages
These names and these faces
That you don't know a damn thing about
Exposed to a crowd
Exchanging minutes for ages
Yeah, you'd think that I'd be good at this by now

I'm stupid and selfish
Introspective as hell with a death wish
And I know you don't want to hear this
A room full of strangers
In a basement with my friends
And I don't know which one I'm more afraid of
These days

When the lights go out
You'll forget my name
But when you wake up
I hope that these words
Find their place here
