[Verse 1]
I've been listenin' to screamo
I've been feelin' real emo again like I'm still fifteen
Guess I never grew out of my skinny jeans
I wanna drive circles in the car park
Take off my clothes, get drunk in the dark
I wanna forget how to philosophise
'Cause nihilism's really been killin' my vibe
I don't wanna know myself like I do
And it's dog eared, baby
Nothing is new
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna have no excuses
Why do I always feel so useless?
Don't even know where I got these bruises
Least I still got something to lose
And I wish that
[Verse 2]
Cigarettes are still a secret
Maybe a little bit less frequent
Wish my body would change without me trying
Wish I had hormones to blame for me always crying
Don't wanna know myself like I do
My head is dog eared, baby
Nothing is new
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna have no excuses
Why do I always feel so useless?
Don't even know where I got these bruises
Least I still got something to lose
And my head feels so... ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
High school never taught me how
To do all the shit I have to do now
I can grow up, but I can never grow out of this
It's always the stupid stuff you miss
Don't wanna know myself like I do
Head is threadbare, baby
It's overused
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna have no excuses
Why do I always feel so useless?
Don't even know where I got these bruises
Least I still got something to lose
And I feel so... ugh
